    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated twenty-core virtual machine featuring balanced memory capacity and local storage for parallelized legacy workloads and database operations.

    General PurposeMemory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D15_v2 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Dv2 family, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 20 dedicated physical cores operating at 2.3 GHz, 140.0 GB of RAM (7.0 GB per core), and 1024 GB of local storage. Performance benchmarks reveal a contrast between weak single-core execution and average multi-core capabilities, with stress-ng and Geekbench single-core scores in the bottom 25% while multi-core, database, and web serving benchmarks sit in the middle 50%. Lacking AVX-512, the server relies on AVX and AES instruction sets. Qualitatively, it offers a high-density memory and storage profile suitable for parallelized legacy workloads, database operations, static web serving, and multi-threaded software compilation where single-thread performance is not the primary bottleneck.

    Workload Profiles

    0.95Score
    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.
