      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors for lightweight single-threaded workloads and development environments.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2s_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor operating at 2.6 GHz, providing 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show average single-core execution, such as a Geekbench single-core score of 1255.0, but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight workloads, minor web serving, and development tasks that do not require intensive parallel processing or high-speed local disk access.

      Workload Profiles

      0.15Score
      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.
