    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-focused instance featuring thirty-two dedicated cores and local SSD storage for efficient multi-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D32plds_v5 is an ARM64 virtual machine powered by a 32-core Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:2 vCPU-to-memory ratio, and includes 1229 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers dedicated CPU allocation without hyperthreading. Benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, with a multi-core Geekbench score of 12092.0 and a static web serving throughput of 24.8 GB/sec, though single-core performance and large-model LLM inference are weak. Lacking AVX extensions but supporting AES cryptography, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-centric, low-memory tasks. It is best suited for multi-threaded software compilation, static web serving, Redis caching, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
