    Server Description

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

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ads_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dadv6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores at 3.7 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM and 472 GB of local storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, particularly in text processing, which ranks in the top 10%. However, multi-core metrics and uncached memory bandwidth remain average to weak. This instance offers a balanced, qualitatively cost-effective profile for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and database operations, though it is less suited for memory-intensive or large-scale AI inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.57Score
    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.
