    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A low-memory, single-core virtual machine with high clock speeds and local NVMe storage for single-threaded utility workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2lds_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine configured with 2 vCPUs from a single physical Intel Xeon 8573C core running at 4.2 GHz. It features a low-memory profile of 4.0 GB RAM and includes a bundled 118 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the processor supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2108.0 and fast single-threaded gzip compression. However, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are weak due to the single physical core constraint and low memory density. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, single-threaded applications, basic text processing, and small utility tasks that require high clock speeds and local SSD storage but do not demand significant memory or parallel processing capabilities.

    Workload Profiles

    0.26Score
    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.
