    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core general-purpose instance featuring advanced Intel matrix extensions for accelerated multi-threaded computing and enterprise-scale workloads.

    General PurposeCompute Optimized

    The Microsoft Azure D96s_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C x86_64 processor. It delivers 96 vCPUs across 48 physical cores at 4.2 GHz, paired with 384.0 GB of RAM. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it supports Premium Storage for remote disks. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core performance, particularly in PassMark CPU tests and static web serving, alongside strong multi-threaded decompression and software compilation. Conversely, single-core metrics and memory scores are more modest. With advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, this instance is highly efficient for parallelized workloads, database operations, and CPU-based LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    4.18Score
    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.
