    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A network-optimized compute instance featuring 48 Intel Xeon vCPUs and low-memory density for efficient, high-throughput web serving and processing.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D48nls_v6 is a network-optimized virtual machine from the Dnlv6 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. It features 48 dedicated vCPUs and 96.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage but supports premium storage options. It excels in compute-heavy and network-intensive tasks, as evidenced by strong benchmark results, including a Passmark CPU score of 56283.8 and a static web serving throughput of 73.21 GB/sec. It also demonstrates top-tier text generation speeds of 337.85 tokens/sec for small LLM models. The qualitative cost-efficiency is high for compute-focused workloads due to the reduced memory overhead. This server is best suited for network virtual appliances, web serving, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    2.82Score
    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.
