      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A burstable arm64 virtual machine offering balanced memory and compute resources for workloads with variable performance demands.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B16ps_v2 is a burstable, arm64-based virtual machine powered by an Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor. It features 16 physical cores, 16 vCPUs running at 3.0 GHz, and 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this instance relies on remote Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 28877.71 and a static web serving throughput of 18.84 GB/sec, though single-threaded tasks and cryptographic operations are weaker. This server is a cost-effective option for workloads with variable CPU utilization, such as static web serving, Redis caching, and general-purpose application hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      1Score
      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.
