    Server Description

    A memory-rich virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and substantial local storage for balanced multi-threaded workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D14_v2 is a Dv2-family virtual machine configured with 16 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, it features 112.0 GB of system memory (7.0 GB per core) and 819 GB of local storage, with no GPU acceleration. Benchmark data reveals a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and large-block memory writes are weak, whereas multi-core operations, database transactions, and static web serving achieve average tier performance. This resource profile makes the D14_v2 qualitatively cost-effective for memory-heavy, multi-threaded workloads. It is highly suitable for database operations, multi-threaded data processing, and general-purpose applications that benefit from a high memory-to-core ratio and local storage capacity without requiring high single-threaded compute performance.

    Workload Profiles

    0.763Score
    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.
