      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and flexible external storage options for standard enterprise workloads.

      The Microsoft Azure D16s_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv4 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM on an x86_64 architecture. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz, it utilizes the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks place the server in the average performance tier, with a PassMark CPU score of 15816.41 and a static web serving throughput of 12.09 GB/sec. It handles Redis SET operations at 13.9 million operations per second and small-model LLM inference reliably, though performance drops to the bottom 25% for medium-model prompt processing. This resource profile offers balanced qualitative cost efficiency for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, database operations, and web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.77Score
      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.
