    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-based virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores and integrated NVMe SSD storage for lightweight, single-threaded general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D2pds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 118 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance delivers average single-core performance, highlighted by a strong single-threaded gzip compression rate of 33.01 GB/sec and an average Geekbench single-core score of 1673.0. However, multi-core and memory-intensive benchmarks, such as the Passmark memory score of 1168.36, fall into the weak to poor categories. This server provides a cost-efficient option for lightweight general-purpose workloads, basic web serving, and development environments that require dedicated ARM cores and local SSD storage but do not demand high multi-threaded performance or intensive memory bandwidth.

    Workload Profiles

    0.29Score
    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.
