    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-vCPU general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing and local NVMe SSD storage for single-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D2ads_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM. It features a bundled 118 GB NVMe SSD for local storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, ranking in the top 25% for single-threaded tasks. However, its multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are limited, with database operations and cached read bandwidth performing in the bottom 10%. This instance represents a qualitatively cost-efficient option for entry-level workloads requiring dedicated CPU allocation and fast local storage. It is best suited for lightweight general-purpose applications, single-threaded processing, and basic web serving rather than memory-intensive databases or complex multi-threaded computations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.21Score
    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.
