    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores, balanced memory, and integrated local storage for standard workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4pds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dpdsv6 family, powered by an ARM-based Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs and 4 physical cores operating at 3.4 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and 236 GB of local storage. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers balanced performance, with benchmarks showing average results in general computing, database operations, and memory bandwidth, alongside strong single-threaded gzip compression. However, it exhibits weaker performance in cryptographic and ray-tracing tasks. The ARM64 architecture offers a cost-efficient hardware profile for workloads requiring dedicated compute resources and local storage. This server is best suited for general-purpose applications, software compilation, static web serving, and moderate database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.549Score
    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.
