    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processing and local SSD storage for entry-level workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2ds_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It provides 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 77 GB of local SSD storage. The processor features a 35 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 vector instructions. While single-core benchmarks for CPU and compression tasks show average performance, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are limited, placing in the bottom 10% of tested systems. This virtual machine is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring local scratch space but modest compute power. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, development environments, and single-threaded application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    0.145Score
    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.
