    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused, low-memory virtual machine featuring strong single-core AMD EPYC performance for resource-dense, dedicated workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D8als_v6 is an x86_64 server instance from the Dalv6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores and 16.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a low-memory ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and bundled GPUs but is premium storage capable. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution and text processing, while multi-core operations and cached memory bandwidth perform in the average range. Conversely, uncached large-block memory read bandwidth is weak. This compute-focused, low-memory profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for resource-dense, compute-bound workloads. It is highly suitable for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight text processing tasks that do not demand extensive memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.552Score
    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.
