      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring forty-eight dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a low memory-to-core ratio for parallel processing.

      Compute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure F48als_v6 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine from the Falsv6 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with 48 dedicated physical cores of an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor clocked at 3.7 GHz, paired with 96.0 GB of memory. This configuration yields a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per core, with no local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core performance, particularly in software compilation, multi-threaded decompression, and image processing. Single-core performance and memory bandwidth consistently rank in the top 25%. The server is cost-efficient for compute-bound tasks that do not require high memory capacity, such as web serving, build systems, and parallel processing. However, the low memory allocation and lack of local storage present tradeoffs for memory-intensive or storage-heavy workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      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.
