    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-vCPU AMD EPYC virtual machine with bundled local SSD storage, optimized for lightweight single-threaded workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2ads_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DADSv5 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs, 8.0 GB of memory, and a bundled 77 GB local SSD. While stress-ng single-core CPU performance is strong, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are weak, with several metrics like Redis SET operations and database operations falling into the bottom 10%. This server offers a qualitatively cost-effective option for dedicated AMD hardware with local storage, but is limited by its lower resource density. It is best suited for lightweight general-purpose workloads, single-threaded processing, and development environments rather than high-throughput database or multi-threaded applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.16Score
    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.
