    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores, low memory overhead, and local SSD storage for efficient, lightweight compute workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4plds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the DPLDSv5 family, featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs on an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 8.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-CPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and includes a 154 GB local SSD. Benchmark results show average CPU performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 7232.57 and solid database operation metrics, though memory bandwidth and cryptographic performance are relatively weak. Lacking hyperthreading, the dedicated physical cores deliver stable, predictable compute execution. Qualitatively, this instance offers a cost-efficient profile for workloads that prioritize dedicated CPU cycles over large memory capacities. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, basic database tasks, and ARM-native application development.

    Workload Profiles

    0.33Score
    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.
