    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An 8-vCPU general-purpose virtual machine featuring a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon processor, 32 GB RAM, and advanced matrix extension support.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D8ns_v6 is a network-optimized, general-purpose virtual machine within the Dnv6 family, utilizing the x86_64 architecture. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor operating at 4.2 GHz with 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of RAM. The CPU includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. This instance lacks local storage but is premium storage capable. Performance benchmarks place the server in the average tier for most operations, including a PassMark CPU score of 13504.19 and a database operations score of 4873.67. While it achieves a strong text generation speed of 279.99 tokens/sec on a 135M model, performance drops to a weak 8.08 tokens/sec on a 7B model. The server is suited for general-purpose workloads, static web serving, and network-optimized applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.776Score
    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.
