    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-vCPU, compute-optimized virtual machine featuring advanced Intel matrix extensions for parallel processing and high-throughput workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D96ls_v6 is a compute-focused virtual machine from the Dlsv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 96 dedicated vCPUs (48 physical cores) running at 4.2 GHz. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, establishing a lean 2.0 GB per vCPU ratio optimized for compute-heavy tasks. The architecture supports advanced instruction sets, including Intel AVX-512 and AMX for accelerated matrix operations. While lacking local storage and integrated GPUs, the server is Premium Storage capable. Benchmark data highlights top-tier multi-core performance, with a Passmark CPU score of 86,191.93 and static web serving throughput of 115.45 GB/sec. This server is highly suited for parallelized workloads, software compilation, image processing, and CPU-based machine learning inference, offering a cost-efficient profile for compute-dense operations that do not demand large memory capacities.

    Workload Profiles

    4.73Score
    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.
