    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a low memory-to-CPU ratio for high-throughput processing workloads.

    Compute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F16als_v6 is a compute-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs running at 3.7 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show strong single-core and multi-core performance, placing in the top 25% for Geekbench and stress-ng single-core tests. It also achieves top-tier results in text generation for small language models. The primary tradeoff is the constrained memory capacity relative to compute power. This instance is highly efficient for compute-heavy workloads such as software compilation, image processing, text processing, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.25Score
    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.
