    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    General Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D2ds_v4 is an entry-level, general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz, providing 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core with hyper-threading. The hardware configuration includes 8.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 77 GB local SSD. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU performance, but multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are limited, placing them in the lower performance tiers. Consequently, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for basic, non-intensive tasks. It is best suited for lightweight general-purpose workloads, development environments, single-threaded applications, and low-traffic web serving.

    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.
