    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level, single-core virtual machine with dedicated compute resources and local storage for basic utility and development workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D1 is a general-purpose virtual machine configured with a single dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL vCPU operating at 2.6 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 4.0 GB of system memory, 51 GB of local storage, and runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmark data indicates that this instance delivers entry-level performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench multi-core scores falling into the bottom 10% of tested hardware. Memory read bandwidth is measured at 11.37 GB/sec for large blocks, and Redis SET operations reach 1.51 million operations per second. Given these performance constraints, the D1 is positioned as a low-cost option for lightweight workloads. It is best suited for basic development environments, low-traffic static web serving, simple text processing, and utility tasks that do not require high computational density.

    Workload Profiles

    0.11Score
    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.
