    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency, compute-optimized virtual machine designed for single-threaded efficiency and low-memory workloads requiring dedicated processing power.

    Compute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F16als_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Falsv7 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor operating at 4.5 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of system memory, yielding a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and contains no local storage or GPUs. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the server delivers top-tier single-core performance, as evidenced by high stress-ng and single-threaded compression benchmark scores. Multi-core performance and memory bandwidth sit in the average tier. This low-memory, high-compute profile offers a cost-effective solution for compute-bound workloads that do not demand large memory footprints. It is highly suited for web serving, data compression, and lightweight machine learning inference tasks.

    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.
