    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 virtual machine with dedicated cores and local storage, optimized for lightweight, single-threaded utility workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2plds_v5 is an ARM64 virtual machine from the DPLDSv5 family, powered by a 2-core Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 4.0 GB of RAM, 77 GB of local storage, and runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmarks show average single-core performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1821.98 and gzip compression of 24.16 GB/sec, but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth results. With a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server represents a low-cost, resource-constrained option. It is best suited for lightweight workloads, basic web serving, and simple single-threaded applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.191Score
    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.
