    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose server featuring sixty-four vCPUs, substantial local storage, and strong memory bandwidth for database and enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D64ds_v4 is a general-purpose server instance from the DDSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor. It features 64 dedicated vCPUs (32 physical cores) running at 2.6 GHz, 256.0 GB of system memory, and 2458 GB of local storage. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 instance supports AVX-512 instructions. Benchmarks indicate strong memory bandwidth, with large-block reads reaching 207.3 GB/sec, and strong database operation scores. However, CPU-centric benchmarks and LLM text generation remain average or poor, particularly for large models. The instance provides a balanced resource-to-cost profile for workloads that require substantial local storage and memory throughput, such as database hosting, enterprise web serving, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    2.28Score
    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.
