      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A cost-efficient, burstable arm64 virtual machine with balanced memory and compute resources for lightweight, variable workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B2ps_v2 is an arm64-based burstable virtual machine from the Bpsv2 family, featuring 2 vCPUs on an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM, providing 4.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage or integrated GPUs, though it supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show average single-core performance, with a stress-ng score of 1822.08 and a single-threaded gzip compression speed of 24.19 GB/sec, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are generally weak to poor. This resource-dense, burstable configuration offers a highly cost-efficient profile for workloads with variable CPU demands. It is best suited for lightweight applications, small databases, development environments, and low-traffic web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.19Score
      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.
