    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A 96-vCPU compute-optimized instance featuring massive local storage and advanced Intel matrix extensions for demanding multi-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D96lds_v6 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dldsv6 family, powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 192.0 GB of RAM, representing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance is bundled with 5669 GB of local storage but lacks GPU acceleration. In benchmark testing, it delivers top-tier multi-core performance, highlighted by a PassMark CPU score of 86003.68 and a static web serving throughput of 110.74 GB/sec. Advanced instruction support includes AVX-512 and AMX. This hardware profile offers a cost-efficient option for compute-intensive tasks that do not demand high memory capacity, making it appropriate for multi-threaded software compilation, web serving, and medium-scale CPU-based LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    4.46Score
    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.
