    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine with dedicated cores and local SSD storage, designed for lightweight single-threaded workloads and basic web serving.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2pds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the DPDSv5 family, powered by a 3.0 GHz Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor. It features 2 dedicated physical cores, 8.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 77 GB local SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results show average single-core performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1822.18 and gzip compression speed of 24.14 GB/sec. However, multi-core and memory-intensive benchmarks are weak to poor, as evidenced by a Geekbench multi-core score of 2008.0 and a large-block write memory bandwidth of 15.78 GB/sec. Due to these performance characteristics, the D2pds_v5 is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and software development tasks that benefit from ARM architecture without requiring high memory throughput.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.18Score
    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.
