    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64-based virtual machine offering dedicated physical cores and local storage for entry-level, cost-conscious general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2pds_v5 is an arm64-based general-purpose virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz. Equipped with 8.0 GB of memory and 77 GB of local storage, this instance operates on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Performance benchmarks reveal average single-core capabilities, such as a stress-ng single-core score of 1822.18, but highlight limitations in multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth, where uncached write speeds drop to 15.78 GB/sec. The instance represents a cost-efficient option for low-density workloads, trading off high-throughput performance for architectural efficiency. It is suitable for basic web serving, text processing, and lightweight database operations, but is constrained in memory-intensive or highly parallelized tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.186Score
    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.
