    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD-powered compute instance featuring dedicated vCPUs, fast local NVMe storage, and strong single-core performance for low-memory workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8alds_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a 472 GB local NVMe SSD. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, this instance is tailored for compute-focused workloads rather than memory-heavy tasks. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, placing in the top 25%, while multi-core metrics and database operations fall in the average range. However, uncached large-block memory read bandwidth is weak, representing a key hardware tradeoff. The bundled NVMe storage and dedicated CPU allocation make it suitable for static web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations that benefit from fast local disk access but do not require extensive memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.56Score
    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.
