    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores, high-capacity local storage, and top-tier single-core processing performance.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F16amds_v7 is a memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famdsv7 family, featuring 16 dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 physical cores running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, it delivers 128.0 GB of RAM (8.0 GB per core) and includes a 1890 GB local disk with Premium Storage capabilities. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded bzip3 decompression, alongside strong performance in gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation. Multi-core compute, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at average levels. Lacking a GPU, this server provides a cost-efficient, high-density memory profile with dedicated CPU resources. It is optimized for memory-bound workloads, including database hosting, caching layers, and data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.23Score
    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.
