    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine with dedicated physical cores and local storage, optimized for cost-efficient compute and web serving workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4plds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dpldsv6 family, featuring 4 dedicated physical cores powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft ARM Neoverse-N2 processor. Equipped with 8.0 GB of memory and 236 GB of local storage, this Premium Storage capable instance runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities, with stress-ng single-core and multi-core scores of 2074.79 and 8275.96, and a strong single-threaded gzip compression speed of 33.06 GB/sec. Conversely, cryptographic performance is weak, as shown by a PassMark encryption score of 741.37. This server offers a qualitatively cost-efficient profile for compute-focused workloads with low memory requirements. It is best suited for static web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.516Score
    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.
