      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A burstable virtual machine featuring strong single-core performance and balanced memory for variable, low-intensity development and testing workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B2as_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, utilizing an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It is configured with 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, with no local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance, placing in the top 25% for stress-ng single-core tests, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics generally fall into the bottom 10% to 25%. Single-threaded compression tasks perform at average levels, but database operations and software compilation show poor throughput. Because of its burstable CPU allocation, this server is a cost-effective option for workloads with variable resource demands. It is best suited for light web serving, text processing, development environments, and low-intensity background tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.17Score
      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.
