    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring high-frequency AMD EPYC processors and dedicated cores for single-thread intensive workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F16als_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine from the Falsv7 family, powered by a 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor. It features 16 dedicated physical cores (16 vCPUs) and 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs but is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks indicate top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng, Geekbench single-core, and single-threaded compression tests ranking in the top 10%. Conversely, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth fall into the average tier. Lacking local storage and high memory density, this server presents a tradeoff for memory-heavy applications. It is best suited for compute-intensive, low-memory workloads such as image processing, text processing, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.29Score
    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.
