    Server Description

    A high-frequency, low-memory compute instance featuring advanced matrix extensions and strong single-core performance for stateless workloads.

    Compute Optimized

    The Microsoft Azure D8ls_v6 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine powered by an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573B processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of RAM (2.0 GB per vCPU) and lacks local storage, though it is Premium Storage capable. The processor includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, with Geekbench single-core scoring 2178.0 and gzip compression reaching 31.36 GB/sec. However, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier, and text generation for medium 7B LLMs is weak at 7.37 tokens/sec. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, low-memory tasks, making it highly suitable for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight vector processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.882Score
    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.
