    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density virtual machine featuring ninety-six dedicated AMD EPYC cores, balanced memory, and a massive bundled local SSD.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D96ads_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 96 dedicated vCPUs and 384.0 GB of RAM. Running on Microsoft Hyper-V, this x86_64 instance features a bundled 3686 GB local SSD, providing a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. Benchmark data indicates top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory scores, alongside strong database and Redis SET operations. While single-core and large-block memory bandwidth benchmarks fall into the average tier, the server excels in multi-threaded tasks, software compilation, and cryptography. The combination of high-density compute resources and substantial local SSD storage makes the D96ads_v5 highly cost-efficient for demanding enterprise workloads, relational databases, caching layers, and multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    2.9Score
    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.
