    Server Description

    A high-density ARM64 platform delivering exceptional multi-core throughput and memory bandwidth for balanced, scale-out enterprise workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D96ps_v6 is an ARM64 general-purpose server instance powered by a 96-core Microsoft ARM Neoverse-N2 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, translating to a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core, with no hyperthreading or bundled local storage. The instance delivers top-tier performance in multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations, as evidenced by outstanding stress-ng and Redis benchmark results. Single-core performance remains moderate. This hardware profile offers a cost-effective, high-density solution for multi-threaded workloads, making it highly suitable for software compilation, static web serving, database management, and Redis deployments.

    Workload Profiles

    5.38Score
    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.
