      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency compute instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and low memory density for single-threaded and compute-bound workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure F4als_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Falsv7 family, featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 processor with 4 vCPUs and 4 physical cores. Running on the x86_64 architecture at 4.5 GHz, it includes 8.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports premium storage. Benchmarks indicate top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, while multi-core operations and memory bandwidth remain average. The primary tradeoff is the low memory allocation relative to compute power. This instance is suited for compute-bound, single-threaded tasks, lightweight web serving, and small-scale model inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.48Score
      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.
