Server Description
A high-density ARM64 compute instance featuring ninety-six dedicated cores and optimized memory bandwidth for highly parallelized workloads.
Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose
Microsoft Azure D96pls_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dplsv6 family, featuring 96 dedicated physical cores and 96 vCPUs powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft ARM Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 192.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and contains no local storage or GPUs. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the instance delivers top-tier multi-core performance, ranking in the top 10% for multi-core stress-ng, Geekbench multi-core, and multi-threaded bzip3 decompression. Memory bandwidth is also highly efficient, reaching 464.93 GB/sec for large block reads. While single-core performance remains average, its high core density and strong multi-threaded capabilities make it highly cost-effective for parallel processing. It is best suited for workloads such as software compilation, database operations, static web serving, and multi-threaded data processing.
