    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 virtual machine featuring forty-eight dedicated cores and local storage for balanced general-purpose and database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D48pds_v5 is an ARM64-based virtual machine powered by a 48-core Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core, alongside 1843 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers dedicated CPU allocation with one thread per core. Benchmark data highlights strong multi-core CPU performance and exceptional Redis SET operations, though it exhibits weaker results in text processing and large-scale LLM inference. The qualitative cost efficiency of its ARM architecture makes it a practical choice for scale-out workloads. It is highly suitable for database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose multi-threaded applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.22Score
    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.
