      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated ARM64 virtual machine offering a balanced memory-to-core ratio for lightweight general-purpose workloads and ARM-native development.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2ps_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by a dedicated 3.0 GHz ARM64 Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor. It features 2 physical cores, 2 vCPUs, and 8.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 1:4 resource ratio. The instance does not include local storage or GPU hardware, but it is Premium Storage capable. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU and gzip compression capabilities, alongside weaker multi-core and memory bandwidth results. PassMark database operations and Redis SET benchmarks also place this server in the lower performance tiers. Qualitatively, the D2ps_v5 represents a cost-efficient, dedicated-core entry point for ARM-native development. It is best suited for lightweight workloads such as basic web serving, simple text processing, and ARM64-specific development and testing environments.

      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.
