    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64-powered virtual machine featuring dedicated compute cores, low memory density, and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for lightweight workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2plds_v6 is an ARM64 virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor, 4.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 118 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance offers a low memory-to-CPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core. Performance benchmarks show strong single-threaded gzip compression at 33.09 GB/sec and average single-core CPU execution. However, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are weak, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 3077.0 and a Passmark memory score in the poor range. Qualitatively, the server provides a cost-efficient, dedicated ARM compute resource with local SSD storage, but is constrained by its low memory capacity. It is best suited for lightweight single-threaded tasks, basic web serving, text processing, and development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.28Score
    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.
