    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level general-purpose virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for light, predictable workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2s_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv3 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8272CL processor operating at 2.6 GHz, delivering 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core with hyper-threading. The hardware profile includes 8.0 GB of RAM, a 16 GB local SSD, and Premium Storage capability. Performance benchmarks indicate entry-level capabilities, with single-core stress-ng and Geekbench scores in the bottom 25%, and multi-core, memory bandwidth, and database operations falling in the bottom 10%. Lacking a GPU and featuring constrained memory throughput, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for low-intensity applications. It is best suited for light general-purpose workloads, basic web serving, and development or testing environments that require dedicated CPU allocation without high-performance demands.

    Workload Profiles

    0.13Score
    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.
