    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, local SSD storage, and strong single-threaded compression performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a 472 GB local disk with Premium Storage capability. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, this x86_64 instance delivers balanced compute and memory performance. Benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities but highlight strong single-threaded performance in gzip compression (35.05 GB/sec) and small-model LLM text generation (270.06 tokens/sec). The D8ds_v7 provides a qualitatively cost-effective profile for general-purpose enterprise applications, web serving, and database workloads requiring local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.98Score
    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.
