    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A 32-core ARM Neoverse-N2 server offering 128 GB RAM, top-tier memory bandwidth, and 1890 GB local NVMe storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D32pds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dpdsv6 family based on the 64-bit ARM Neoverse-N2 architecture operating at 3.4 GHz under Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 32 dedicated physical cores, 128 GB of RAM, 128 MB of L3 cache, and a bundled 1890 GB local NVMe SSD. Hardware performance is highlighted by top-tier memory bandwidth reaching 448.6 GB/sec read and 188.32 GB/sec write speed, alongside top-tier database operation benchmarks. Multi-core performance across Geekbench and stress-ng ranks in the top 25%, while single-core execution remains average. The absence of x86 vector extensions and reduced large-model LLM prompt processing throughput represent key tradeoffs. The resource balance makes it effective for database operations, high-concurrency web serving, Redis caching, and CI/CD compilation workloads requiring efficient local NVMe storage and high memory throughput.

    Workload Profiles

    2.5Score
    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.
