    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity general-purpose instance featuring 96 vCPUs, fast local NVMe storage, and advanced matrix acceleration for demanding enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D96ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv6 family, powered by a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 96 vCPUs and 48 physical cores. It features 384.0 GB of RAM and 5669 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, the CPU supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks indicate top-tier multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and exceptional static web serving throughput. The instance is highly effective for database operations, software compilation, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    4.6Score
    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.
