      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An efficient low memory virtual machine featuring high clock speed processors designed for single threaded workloads and basic utility tasks.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2ls_v6 is a low-memory, compute-oriented virtual machine from the Dlsv6 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573B processor. It features 2 vCPUs (1 physical core with hyper-threading) and 4.0 GB of system memory, providing a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance lacks bundled local storage and GPUs but supports premium storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2134.0 and fast single-threaded gzip compression. However, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are limited, as evidenced by a weak Geekbench multi-core score of 2620.0 and uncached read speeds of 20.87 GB/sec. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, single-threaded tasks, small-scale text processing, and basic utility workloads that do not require large memory allocations or high multi-threaded performance.

      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.
