      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high-frequency Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for efficient enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure D16s_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv7 family, powered by a dedicated 16-vCPU Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 8 physical cores, a 480 MB L3 cache, and 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance but strong single-threaded compression capabilities, alongside top-tier text generation speeds for small LLMs due to Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction support. This instance is optimized for general-purpose workloads, web serving, and database operations requiring stable, high-frequency compute.

      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.
