    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high memory-to-core density for memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F16ams_v6 is a memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv6 family, powered by a 16-core AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per core memory-to-vCPU ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but is premium storage capable. Performance benchmarks highlight top-tier capabilities in small-model LLM text generation and strong results in memory bandwidth and single-core processing, while multi-core CPU and database operations remain average. This configuration represents a cost-efficient option for memory-optimized workloads that rely on external storage. It is highly suited for memory-cached applications, database hosting, and small-scale machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.21Score
    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.
