    Server Description

    An ARM64 server featuring thirty-two dedicated cores, balanced memory, and local storage for efficient multi-threaded and database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D32pds_v5 is an ARM-based general-purpose server instance powered by a 32-core Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of RAM and 1229 GB of bundled local storage with Premium Storage capability. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance delivers average multi-core performance, as evidenced by a Geekbench multi-core score of 12912.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 57203.87. However, single-core performance is relatively weak, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1125.0, and the ARM64 architecture lacks AVX and AMX instruction sets. This limits its effectiveness for heavy vector math and large LLM inference. The server is qualitatively cost-efficient for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.65Score
    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.
