    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An 8-vCPU general-purpose instance with 28 GB RAM and 410 GB local storage, balancing multi-core workloads with moderate memory capacity.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D4_v2 is a Dv2-family virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz. It is configured with 28.0 GB of RAM (3.5 GB per core) and 410 GB of local storage, with no GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks indicate a clear tradeoff: single-core processing and single-threaded compression tasks rank in the bottom 10%, while multi-core operations, database tasks, and Redis SET operations achieve average tier results. Memory read bandwidth is average, though write performance is weaker. This hardware profile is suited for general-purpose workloads, static web serving, and database operations that leverage multi-threaded execution rather than high single-core throughput.

    Workload Profiles

    0.464Score
    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.
