      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dual-vCPU general-purpose virtual machine with balanced memory configured for lightweight, single-threaded utility workloads and basic web serving.

      General Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure D2_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8272CL processor operating at 2.6 GHz, providing 2 dedicated vCPUs across 1 physical core with hyper-threading. The instance features 8.0 GB of system memory, but lacks local storage, GPUs, and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks show average single-core execution, such as a Geekbench single-core score of 1218.0, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics consistently fall into the lower percentiles. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance is appropriate for lightweight, single-threaded applications, basic web serving, and low-intensity development tasks rather than demanding database or parallel processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.15Score
      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.
