    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high-capacity local storage, dedicated AMD EPYC processing, and strong multi-core performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D48ads_v6 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. It features 48 dedicated vCPUs across 24 physical cores, 192.0 GB of RAM, and 2835 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong CPU and memory performance, ranking in the top 25% for stress-ng multi-core and Passmark database benchmarks. It achieves high throughput in Redis SET operations and cached memory reads. However, uncached memory bandwidth remains average, and large-scale LLM inference performance is poor due to the lack of GPU acceleration. This server is highly cost-efficient for resource-dense workloads, making it well-suited for database hosting, software compilation, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.18Score
    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.
