CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated server combining dedicated AMD EPYC processors, massive local storage, and an NVIDIA Hopper H100 GPU for demanding workloads.

GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedStorage & Database

Microsoft Azure NC40ads_H100_v5 is a GPU-accelerated server featuring 40 dedicated AMD EPYC 9V84 physical cores running at 3.7 GHz, 320.0 GB of system memory, and a single NVIDIA Hopper H100 GPU with 94 GB of VRAM. It includes 3971 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate top-tier multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 23376.0 and a Passmark memory score ranking in the top 10 percent. While cached memory bandwidth is strong at 5952.26 GB/sec, uncached large block memory write bandwidth is average at 91.33 GB/sec. LLM inference benchmarks show strong text generation speeds of 33.22 tokens per second for 7B models, though large 70B model performance drops to an average of 3.88 tokens per second. This instance is suited for GPU-accelerated computing, database operations, and medium-scale machine learning workloads.

Workload Profiles

2.64Score
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.
