    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A burstable virtual machine featuring AMD EPYC processing and balanced memory for cost-conscious, variable-demand workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B2as_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, featuring an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, but multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are weak to poor, with Passmark memory and database operations scoring in the bottom 10%. The burstable CPU allocation provides a cost-efficient profile for workloads with variable resource demands. This server is suited for light workloads such as low-traffic web serving, basic text processing, and development environments that do not require sustained multi-threaded compute power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.171Score
    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.
