    Server Description

    A high-density, general-purpose virtual machine featuring ninety-six AMD EPYC vCPUs and bundled solid-state storage for demanding multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D96as_v4 is a general-purpose server from the DASv4 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 96 vCPUs and 48 physical cores. Operating at 3.525 GHz under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, it features 384.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 786 GB local SSD, with support for Premium Storage. The instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and encryption capabilities, alongside strong database and Redis transaction speeds. However, single-core processing and large-block memory bandwidth remain average. The processor includes AVX, AES, and SHA instruction set extensions, enhancing cryptographic workloads. This resource-dense configuration is highly suitable for multi-threaded enterprise applications, database hosting, software compilation, and moderate LLM inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    2.8Score
    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.
