      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density virtual machine offering ninety-six dedicated AMD cores and balanced memory without bundled local storage.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D96as_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dav6 family, featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD x86_64 processor. It is equipped with 384.0 GB of system memory, providing a balanced allocation of 4.0 GB of RAM per core. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance does not include any local storage or integrated GPUs, though it is fully capable of utilizing Premium Storage for external disk requirements. The lack of local storage and hardware accelerators represents a design tradeoff that optimizes the instance for cost-effective, high-density compute and memory allocation. This configuration is well-suited for enterprise-scale general-purpose applications, web serving, multi-threaded processing environments, and intermediate database hosting where external storage latency is acceptable.

      Workload Profiles

      4.5Score
      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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): PassMark Memory Mark (composite), Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), PassMark single-thread CPU.
