      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A network-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated high-frequency single-core performance and balanced memory for lightweight, single-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2ns_v6 is a network-optimized, general-purpose virtual machine powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance features 2 vCPUs, 8.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage, relying instead on Premium Storage capabilities. Performance benchmarks highlight strong single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2101.0, alongside average single-threaded compression speeds. However, the instance exhibits weak multi-core scaling and low memory bandwidth, as evidenced by a Geekbench multi-core score of 2590.0 and a large-block read bandwidth of 17.21 GB/sec. Qualitatively, the D2ns_v6 provides a cost-effective option for network-oriented workloads that prioritize single-thread performance over parallel processing, making it suitable for lightweight web serving, microservices, and basic text processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.23Score
      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.
