    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core compute-optimized instance featuring fast local NVMe storage and advanced matrix extensions for intensive multi-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D96lds_v6 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dldsv6 family, featuring 96 vCPUs and 48 physical cores powered by a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. It is configured with 192.0 GB of system memory, providing a low-memory ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, and includes 5669 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, the instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and static web serving throughput, supported by hardware-accelerated instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX. This configuration offers high cost efficiency for compute-heavy tasks that do not demand large memory capacities. It is highly suited for multi-threaded software compilation, high-throughput web serving, and compute-intensive batch processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    4.3Score
    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.
