    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level ARM64 virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores and low memory allocation for budget-conscious, lightweight workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2pls_v5 is an ARM64-based virtual machine from the DPLSv5 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It is equipped with 2 dedicated physical cores utilizing an Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz, paired with 4.0 GB of system memory. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this premium-storage-capable instance features a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. Benchmark results show average single-core performance, such as a stress-ng single-core score of 1822.08, but reveal limitations in multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. Qualitatively, the D2pls_v5 represents a budget-friendly option for ARM development, lightweight web serving, and low-intensity microservices where dedicated CPU cores are required without the cost of high memory allocations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.179Score
    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.
