      Server Description

      An ARM64-powered virtual machine with dedicated Neoverse-N2 cores and strong memory bandwidth for balanced general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D16ps_v6 is an ARM64-based general-purpose virtual machine from the Dpsv6 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features a dedicated Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor operating at 3.4 GHz with 16 physical cores, 16 vCPUs, and a 128 MB L3 cache. The server is equipped with 64.0 GB of RAM, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB per core, but contains no local storage, relying on Premium Storage instead. Benchmark results show top-tier PassMark memory performance and strong uncached memory bandwidth, alongside average CPU performance in Geekbench and stress-ng tests. Lacking x86-specific vector extensions, it relies on ARM-native optimizations. This instance is suitable for general-purpose applications, web serving, and database workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
