      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered virtual machine delivering high multi-core compute density and top-tier memory bandwidth for compute-intensive, memory-lean workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure D96pls_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dplsv6 family, featuring 96 dedicated physical cores powered by Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processors running at 3.4 GHz. Configured with 192.0 GB of RAM, it maintains a compute-focused 1:2 memory-to-core ratio. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports premium external storage. Benchmarks reveal top-tier multi-core performance, outstanding memory bandwidth, and excellent multi-threaded execution, contrasting with average single-core performance. This resource density makes it highly cost-efficient for compute-intensive, memory-lean workloads. It is optimized for software compilation, static web serving, database operations, and multi-threaded processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      5.2Score
      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.
