    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-based 48-core cloud instance featuring 96 GB memory and local SSD storage built for parallel compilation, caching, and containerized execution.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D48plds_v5 is an ARM-based compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 48 dedicated Ampere Neoverse-N1 physical cores running at 3.0 GHz without hyperthreading. It is provisioned with 96.0 GB of RAM (2.0 GB per core) and includes 1843 GB of local SSD storage. Designed for high multi-core throughput, the server demonstrates strong benchmark performance in multi-threaded CPU stress tests, software compilation with Clang, and Redis SET operations processing 62.24 million operations per second. Single-core performance and text processing benchmarks are weaker, reflecting the architecture's reliance on core parallelism over single-threaded speed. Cost efficiency is driven by high physical core density and direct local NVMe SSD capacity relative to its memory allocation. The D48plds_v5 is best suited for parallelized build environments, scale-out web applications, caching tiers, and microservices workloads optimized for ARM64 execution.

    Workload Profiles

    2.2Score
    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.
