    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring high-frequency AMD EPYC processors and fast local NVMe SSD storage for intensive single-core workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F16alds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides 32.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a low 2.0 GB per core ratio. It includes 1890 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core CPU performance, single-threaded compression, and text processing, alongside strong multi-core and memory performance. The hardware configuration is optimized for compute-intensive tasks with low memory requirements, such as image processing, software compilation, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
