    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive x86 platform featuring dedicated high-frequency AMD EPYC cores and a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F16ams_v7 is a memory-intensive, x86_64 architecture server from the Famsv7 family, featuring a dedicated 16-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor clocked at 4.5 GHz. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing an 8.0 GB per core ratio, but lacks local storage and GPU resources. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, alongside strong memory performance. However, multi-core processing and memory bandwidth fall within the average range. The server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound tasks that benefit from high clock speeds but do not require local NVMe storage. It is suited for database operations, memory-intensive applications, and single-threaded workloads.

    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.
