    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency compute-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and dense local storage for demanding single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F16alds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Faldsv7 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor operating at 4.5 GHz. The server is configured with 32.0 GB of memory (2.0 GB per core) and 1890 GB of local storage, with no integrated GPUs. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance, single-threaded compression, and text processing, alongside strong multi-core execution. However, memory bandwidth and database operations perform in the average tier. The primary tradeoff is the low memory-to-CPU ratio, making it highly cost-efficient for compute-heavy tasks but less suitable for memory-intensive applications. It is best suited for image processing, software compilation, web serving, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.31Score
    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.
