    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors, substantial local SSD storage, and mid-tier multi-core compute performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D32ds_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores. Operating at 2.8 GHz, the instance is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM and 1229 GB of local SSD storage. It supports advanced CPU instructions like AVX-512 VNNI and AES cryptography. Performance benchmarks generally fall within the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 14148.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 31064.56. While it delivers strong text generation speeds of 287.54 tokens/sec for small 135M language models, its performance on larger 70B models is poor, highlighting a clear tradeoff for heavy AI workloads. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads, making it suitable for database operations, software compilation, static web serving, and moderate-scale application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    1.8Score
    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.
