    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64-powered virtual machine with dedicated cores and local SSD storage, delivering balanced resource density for general-purpose workloads.

    Microsoft Azure D4pds_v5 is an ARM64-based general-purpose virtual machine from the DPDSv5 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 4 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 154 GB local SSD. Benchmark data shows average performance in stress-ng compute tests and large-block memory bandwidth, alongside average database operations. However, it exhibits weaker results in Geekbench, Passmark CPU, and cryptographic tests, partly due to the lack of advanced vector extensions. This instance provides a qualitatively cost-efficient option for general-purpose workloads, lightweight web serving, and basic database tasks that are optimized for ARM architecture, while being less suited for intensive compilation, cryptography, or machine learning inference.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.34Score
    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.
