    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, integrated local storage, and strong single-core performance.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8alds_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine instance powered by an 8-vCPU AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of system memory, yielding a 2.0 GB per vCPU ratio, and includes 472 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the instance delivers strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, placing in the top 25% of benchmarks. Multi-core performance, database operations, and web serving throughput remain average, while large-block uncached memory read bandwidth is a relative bottleneck. This configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-focused workloads that require local storage but do not demand high memory density. It is suited for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.557Score
    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.
