    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-focused instance featuring forty-eight dedicated cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D48plds_v6 is an ARM64-based virtual machine from the Dpldsv6 family, featuring 48 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft ARM Neoverse-N2 processor. Equipped with 96.0 GB of RAM and a 2835 GB local NVMe SSD, this instance is optimized for compute-heavy workloads. Benchmark results show top-tier performance in large-block memory bandwidth and database operations, alongside strong multi-core execution in Geekbench and stress-ng. However, single-core metrics and certain LLM inference tasks remain in the average to weak categories. The lack of hyper-threading and AVX support represents a clear architectural tradeoff. This server is suited for multi-threaded applications, database hosting, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving where local storage and high memory bandwidth are critical.

    Workload Profiles

    3.4Score
    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.
