      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A burstable, cost-efficient ARM64 virtual machine with dual cores and low memory footprint for lightweight, variable workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B2pls_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Bpsv2 family, utilizing the ARM64 architecture with an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor. It is configured with 2 physical cores, 2 vCPUs, and 4.0 GB of RAM, with no bundled local storage. Operating at 3.0 GHz, the processor supports AES cryptography but lacks AVX and AMX extensions. Benchmarks indicate modest performance, with average single-core stress-ng results but weak multi-core and poor memory bandwidth metrics. The server is a cost-effective choice for low-intensity, bursty workloads such as lightweight static web serving, minor database operations, and basic development tasks. It is not suited for memory-intensive applications or high-performance computing due to its resource constraints and weak multi-threaded performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.18Score
      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.
