      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A highly cost-efficient, burstable ARM64 virtual machine designed for lightweight utility tasks and development environments with minimal memory requirements.

      Burstable & Budget

      Microsoft Azure B2pts_v2 is an ARM64-based burstable virtual machine from the Bpsv2 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor, it features 2 physical cores and 2 vCPUs clocked at 3.0 GHz, paired with 1.0 GB of system memory. The server does not include local storage or GPUs, but supports premium storage. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with average single-core stress-ng results but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics, including a Passmark CPU score of 1605.25 and a memory score of 829.4. With its burstable CPU allocation and low resource density, this server provides a highly cost-efficient profile for lightweight, non-resource-intensive workloads. It is best suited for basic tasks such as low-volume static web serving, microservices, and development environments that operate within strict memory constraints.

      Workload Profiles

      0.13Score
      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.
