      Server Description

      A high-density compute instance featuring ninety-six dedicated Intel Xeon vCPUs and a streamlined memory profile for parallelized workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure D96ls_v5 is an x86_64 compute-focused virtual machine from the DLSv5 family, powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, yielding a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage or integrated GPUs. Benchmarks show strong multi-core performance, particularly in cryptographic encryption, multi-threaded decompression, and software compilation, while single-core performance remains average. The instance provides high compute density, making it a cost-effective choice for parallelized, CPU-bound tasks. However, the low memory allocation presents a tradeoff for memory-heavy applications. It is suited for workloads like static web serving, software compilation, and parallelized CPU processing.

      Workload Profiles

      4.1Score
      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.
