    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A cost-efficient, burstable ARM-based virtual machine with two cores and eight gigabytes of memory for lightweight, intermittent workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B2ps_v2 is an arm64 burstable virtual machine powered by a 2-core Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. Equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM and no local storage, it relies on external Premium Storage. Benchmarks reveal a performance profile suited for low-intensity tasks, with average single-core stress-ng performance but weak multi-core scaling and poor memory bandwidth. The server is designed for cost-sensitive, intermittent workloads such as code repositories, lightweight web serving, or development environments where continuous high CPU utilization is unnecessary.

    Workload Profiles

    0.2Score
    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.
