    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual machine featuring strong single-core performance and a low-memory footprint for efficient, dedicated processing tasks.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D4als_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Dalv6 family, featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of memory. Powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz, it delivers strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, ranking in the top 25% of benchmarks. However, its low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core and absence of local storage present clear tradeoffs. Memory performance is a primary bottleneck, with memory bandwidth and Passmark memory scores placing in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively. Consequently, multi-threaded decompression and database operations perform weakly. This instance is best suited for compute-focused, low-memory workloads such as static web serving, single-threaded file compression, and basic text processing, offering a cost-efficient profile for applications that do not require extensive memory capacity or high-speed local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.331Score
    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.
