    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A network-optimized, low-memory compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for efficient throughput.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D8nls_v6 is an x86_64 network-optimized virtual machine from the Dnlv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores) running at 4.2 GHz, backed by a 260 MB L3 cache and 16.0 GB of RAM. This low-memory configuration (2.0 GB per core) does not include local storage but supports premium external storage. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance with a stress-ng score of 7031.14 and a PassMark CPU score of 12481.2. It shows strong performance in small-model text generation (264.1 tokens/sec) and handles 9.63 million Redis SET operations per second. The server is designed for network-bound workloads, static web serving, and lightweight compute tasks where high memory density is not required.

    Workload Profiles

    0.717Score
    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.
