    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, balanced memory, and local SSD storage for single-threaded workloads.

    General Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D2as_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DASv4 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz, offering 2 dedicated vCPUs across 1 physical core, 8.0 GB of RAM, and a 16 GB local SSD. While single-core CPU performance is strong, placing in the top 25% in stress-ng tests, multi-core and memory bandwidth benchmarks are weak, often falling into the bottom 10% to 25%. This includes poor results in software compiling, database operations, and Redis SET operations. The server is qualitatively cost-effective for entry-level general-purpose workloads but presents clear performance tradeoffs for multi-threaded applications. It is best suited for light web serving, basic text processing, and single-threaded tasks.

    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.
