    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level virtual machine offering strong single-core CPU execution paired with modest memory and local storage for basic utility workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2a_v4 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine from the DAv4 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an AMD EPYC 7763 processor operating at 3.525 GHz, offering 2 dedicated vCPUs from 1 physical core, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 51 GB of local storage. Performance benchmarks indicate a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU performance is strong, ranking in the top 25% via stress-ng, whereas multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are weak, falling into the bottom 10% to 25% across several tests. Geekbench multi-core, software compilation, and database operations also score in the bottom 10%. Given these constraints, the server is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic utility tasks, and development environments rather than memory-intensive databases or high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.157Score
    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.
