    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency compute-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and integrated local storage for single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F4alds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 physical cores running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 8.0 GB of RAM, a 32 MB L3 cache, and 472 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. The instance delivers top-tier single-core performance, highlighted by strong results in stress-ng single-core, Geekbench single-core, and single-threaded gzip compression benchmarks. Multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average tier. With a 2.0 GB per core memory ratio, this server represents a resource-dense option for compute-heavy tasks, trading off memory capacity for high clock speeds. It is well-suited for web serving, software compilation, lightweight text processing, and single-threaded application workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.462Score
    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.
