    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine offering dedicated physical cores and a low-memory footprint for cost-efficient, compute-focused workloads.

    Compute Optimized

    The Microsoft Azure D4pls_v5 is an ARM64 virtual machine from the DPLSv5 family, powered by a 3.0 GHz Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of system memory, providing a 1:2 RAM-to-vCPU ratio. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs but is Premium Storage capable. Benchmark data shows average CPU performance in stress-ng and gzip compression, though memory bandwidth and cryptographic operations score in the lower percentiles. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-focused workloads with low memory requirements, such as lightweight web serving, microservices, and basic utility scripts, while being less suitable for memory-intensive databases or machine learning tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.335Score
    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.
