    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-based virtual machine offering balanced compute and memory resources for standard utility workloads and lightweight database operations.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4ps_v5 is an ARM64-based general-purpose virtual machine from the DPSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with 4 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage, and contains no GPUs. Performance benchmarks show average results in stress-ng CPU tests and large-block memory bandwidth, alongside weak performance in Geekbench, software compilation, and cryptographic tests. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server offers a cost-efficient profile for standard utility workloads. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, lightweight web serving, and basic database operations that do not require specialized x86 instruction sets or high-performance vector extensions.

    Workload Profiles

    0.336Score
    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.
