    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level, low-memory ARM instance featuring dedicated physical cores and local storage for lightweight workloads and development environments.

    Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

    Microsoft Azure D2plds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine instance within the DPLDSv5 family, powered by a 3.0 GHz Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor. It features 2 dedicated physical cores (2 vCPUs) with a 1.0 thread-per-core configuration, 4.0 GB of system memory, and a 77 GB local disk. Running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance supports Premium Storage and hardware-based AES cryptography, though it lacks advanced vector extensions and bundled GPUs. Benchmark results show average single-core CPU and compression performance, but weak multi-core execution and poor memory bandwidth. This low-memory, cost-efficient configuration is designed for lightweight workloads, including basic web serving, software compilation, and development environments that benefit from dedicated ARM architecture without requiring high memory density.

    Workload Profiles

    0.19Score
    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.
