    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, local storage, and strong single-threaded execution for balanced workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, featuring 4 vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor operating at 4.2 GHz, it utilizes 2 physical cores with hyper-threading. The hardware includes 236 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-threaded operations are highly efficient, with top-tier results in gzip compression and bzip3 decompression, whereas multi-core scaling and large-block memory write bandwidth are relatively weak. Standard operations, such as Redis SET transactions and static web serving, perform in the average tier. This configuration is suited for moderate database operations, web serving, and general-purpose enterprise applications that require balanced memory-to-CPU ratios without heavy multi-threaded parallelization.

    Workload Profiles

    0.563Score
    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.
