      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A low-memory, network-optimized virtual machine featuring a high-frequency dedicated processor for lightweight, single-threaded utility workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2nls_v6 is a network-optimized, low-memory virtual machine powered by a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture with 2 vCPUs and a 260 MB L3 cache, it features 4.0 GB of system memory and no local storage. While single-core benchmarks like stress-ng and single-threaded gzip compression perform in the average tier, multi-core and memory-bound benchmarks, including memory bandwidth and database operations, fall into the lower percentiles. This resource profile presents a clear tradeoff, offering dedicated high-frequency CPU execution at a lower resource density. It is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded network tasks, basic web serving, and utility workloads that do not require substantial memory or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.22Score
      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.
