      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-based general-purpose virtual machine with sixteen dedicated cores and sixty-four gigabytes of memory for consistent multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D16ps_v5 is an ARM-based general-purpose virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance provides 64.0 GB of RAM but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show average multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 28878.29 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 9616.0, contrasted by weak single-core performance. The instance achieves 20.86 million operations per second on Redis SET benchmarks and 18.71 GB/sec in static web serving. The D16ps_v5 is suited for multi-threaded workloads, web serving, software compilation, and database operations that leverage dedicated ARM64 architecture.

      Workload Profiles

      0.99Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
