    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual server featuring high-frequency Intel Xeon processors, local storage, and advanced matrix extensions for specialized workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8lds_v7 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from 4 physical Intel Xeon 6973P-C cores running at 4.2 GHz. It is configured with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing 2.0 GB per core, and includes 472 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. The processor features a 480 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. Benchmarks show strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression at 35.65 GB/sec, while multi-core and database operations perform at average levels. The instance presents a clear tradeoff with its low memory-to-CPU ratio, making it highly cost-efficient for compute-focused tasks rather than memory-heavy applications. It is best suited for web serving, compression tasks, and lightweight database workloads.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.959Score
    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.
