    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A low-cost, burstable virtual machine with strong single-core performance and a compact memory footprint for light workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B2als_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, featuring 2 vCPUs and 4.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz on a single physical core, this x86_64 server is designed for entry-level workloads. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but supports premium storage. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU performance, though multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations are highly constrained, placing them in the lower performance tiers. This server represents a cost-effective option for workloads with variable CPU demands, such as light web serving, basic automation, and development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.162Score
    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.
