    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency compute-optimized server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores, fast local storage, and exceptional single-threaded performance.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F8alds_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine powered by an 8-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, and includes 945 GB of local storage. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this server delivers top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core CPU, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression benchmarks ranking in the top 10%. However, its multi-core performance and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. The F8alds_v7 provides a cost-effective option for compute-heavy tasks that do not require large memory footprints, making it highly suitable for web serving, single-threaded batch processing, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.745Score
    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.
