    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose server combining 64 dedicated Intel vCPUs with high-capacity local NVMe storage for demanding database and web workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure D64ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 64 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It includes 3780 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and operates on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The CPU supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. In benchmark testing, the instance delivers top-tier static web serving throughput and strong performance in software compilation, database operations, and CPU-based LLM inference. However, a key tradeoff is its memory performance, with Passmark memory scores falling into the bottom 25%. This server is well-suited for high-throughput web serving, database hosting, and general-purpose enterprise workloads requiring fast local storage.

    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.
