    Server Description

    A high-density compute platform pairing ninety-six dedicated processor cores with local storage for highly parallelized, memory-lean workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D96lds_v5 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine from the DLDSv5 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical cores of an Intel Xeon 8370C processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, paired with 192.0 GB of RAM and 3686 GB of local storage. This configuration establishes a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core. Benchmarks demonstrate strong multi-core capabilities, including a stress-ng multi-core score of 93258.02 and a PassMark CPU score of 76019.64, alongside high memory bandwidth. Single-core performance is average, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1711.0. This server is highly efficient for parallelized workloads like software compilation, multi-threaded decompression, static web serving, and database operations, but is constrained for memory-intensive tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    4.09Score
    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.
