    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors and integrated local SSD storage for standard business workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4ds_v4 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv4 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It is equipped with a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor operating at 2.6 GHz, offering 4 vCPUs across 2 physical cores, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a 154 GB local SSD. Benchmark results show average single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1277.0 and gzip compression at 24.28 GB/sec. However, multi-core and memory-intensive benchmarks, such as stress-ng multi-core and uncached memory bandwidth, fall into the lower tiers. The instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, making it a qualitatively cost-effective option for workloads requiring local SSD storage. It is best suited for general-purpose tasks, light web serving, text processing, and basic database operations.

    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.
