    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level ARM64 virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores and local SSD storage for lightweight development and utility workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2plds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the DPLDSv5 family, powered by a 2-core Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 4.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:2 vCPU-to-memory ratio, alongside a bundled 77 GB local SSD and Premium Storage capability. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers dedicated CPU allocation without hyperthreading. Benchmark data shows average single-core performance, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the lower percentiles. This resource profile makes the instance a qualitatively cost-effective choice for lightweight ARM64 development, basic web serving, software compilation, and simple database operations.

    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.
