    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered general-purpose instance featuring dedicated physical cores, balanced memory, and fast local NVMe SSD storage for efficient workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D4pds_v6 is an ARM-based general-purpose virtual machine featuring a 4-core Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 236 GB local NVMe SSD, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities across general computing tasks, with a strong showing in single-threaded gzip compression at 33.1 GB/sec, though cryptographic and extended instruction performance remains weak. The instance's dedicated physical cores and balanced resource allocation provide a cost-effective profile for ARM-compatible workloads. It is well-suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, software compilation, and database caching operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.54Score
    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.
