    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-dense, low-memory virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors for CPU-bound workloads requiring minimal RAM overhead.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D8ls_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance from the Dlsv7 family, powered by a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor. It provides 8 vCPUs across 4 physical cores with a 480 MB L3 cache, paired with 16.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks reveal strong single-threaded performance in gzip compression (36.07 GB/sec) and small-model LLM text generation (266.79 tokens/sec), alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. Given its low memory density, this server is highly cost-efficient for CPU-heavy, memory-light workloads such as static web serving, lightweight containerized applications, and basic computational tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.957Score
    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.
