    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency, single-core virtual machine with local NVMe storage, optimized for lightweight, single-threaded compute workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F1alds_v7 is a single-core virtual machine powered by a dedicated 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Featuring an x86_64 architecture, this instance is configured with 1 vCPU, 2.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 118 GB NVMe SSD, with no GPU resources. Benchmarks highlight exceptional single-core capabilities, with stress-ng single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression tests ranking in the top 10%. However, its multi-core scaling and database operations are weak due to the single-vCPU limit, and memory performance is constrained, placing in the bottom 10% for PassMark memory scores. This server provides a cost-efficient profile for lightweight, single-threaded compute workloads, background scripting, and small-model inference prototyping where high clock speeds are required but memory demands are minimal.

    Workload Profiles

    0.17Score
    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.
