    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and local storage for multi-threaded database and web serving workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D13_v2 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Dv2 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8171M processor running at 2.6 GHz. It provides 8 dedicated physical cores, 56.0 GB of system memory (7.0 GB per core), and 410 GB of local storage, with no integrated GPU. Performance benchmarks reveal a significant contrast: single-core metrics, such as Geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression, fall into the bottom 10%, whereas multi-core benchmarks, including PassMark CPU and Geekbench multi-core, reach average levels. Memory bandwidth is stable, with read speeds of 558.43 GB/sec for cached blocks. Qualitatively, the D13_v2 offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio on legacy hardware, making it suitable for multi-threaded database operations, software compilation, and static web serving, though it is inefficient for single-threaded tasks or large language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.54Score
    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.
