      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose server offering forty-eight dedicated virtual cores and strong memory bandwidth for multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure D48_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv4 family, powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon 8272CL processor. It provides 48 dedicated vCPUs across 24 physical cores, 192.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 instance delivers average multi-core CPU performance and strong uncached memory bandwidth. However, single-core CPU performance is weak, and LLM text generation speeds are poor. Qualitatively, the instance offers a balanced resource density for workloads requiring moderate memory and multi-threaded compute. It is suited for general-purpose applications, database operations, static web serving, and software compilation, while being less efficient for single-threaded or local-storage-dependent tasks.

      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.
