    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and integrated local SSD storage for moderate development workloads.

    General Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D4d_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 154 GB local SSD. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the CPU supports AVX-512 and AES instructions. Performance benchmarks place this instance primarily in the lower tiers, with weak multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth results, though it maintains average single-threaded compression and text processing speeds. Lacking a GPU, the D4d_v4 is qualitatively positioned as a cost-effective option for workloads with moderate resource demands. It is best suited for general-purpose tasks, lightweight web serving, software development, and testing environments that utilize local scratch storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.27Score
    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.
