    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4ads_v6 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 236 GB of local storage. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, though its multi-core capabilities and memory read bandwidth are relatively weak. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and Premium Storage capability, the D4ads_v6 provides a cost-efficient profile for general-purpose workloads. It is well-suited for static web serving, Redis caching, and light single-threaded applications, but is less optimal for memory-bandwidth-heavy tasks or complex database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.358Score
    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.
