    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    High-density 96 vCPU instance with 384 GB memory and 5.6 TB local NVMe storage designed for throughput-demanding workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D96ads_v7 is a general-purpose instance driven by a 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor. It provides 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical cores, 384 GB of RAM, and 5,669 GB of direct-attached local NVMe SSD storage. Featuring hardware vector support such as AVX-512 VNNI and BF16, it performs efficiently across compute and data tasks. In benchmarks, the server achieves top-tier results in multi-core compute (176,145.96 stress-ng ops) and executes 140.26 million Redis SET operations per second. The instance offers resource efficiency by combining balanced compute and memory density with local storage capabilities. Although lacking GPU hardware, its core capacity and local NVMe storage suit enterprise database workloads, containerized application clusters, real-time analytics, and CPU-based AI inference.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    3.9Score
    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.
