    Server Description

    A dedicated sixteen-core legacy instance offering balanced memory, substantial local storage, and reliable multi-threaded performance for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D5_v2 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv2 family, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with 16 dedicated physical cores on the x86_64 architecture. Operating at 2.3 GHz with a 50 MB L3 cache, this instance is equipped with 56.0 GB of RAM and 819 GB of local storage, with no GPU acceleration. Benchmark data reveals weak single-core CPU performance, but average multi-core capabilities, memory read bandwidth, and database operations. The server achieves 18.19 million operations per second in Redis SET tests and 14.84 GB/sec in static web serving. Given its legacy hardware profile, the D5_v2 provides a cost-effective option for multi-threaded workloads that benefit from dedicated physical cores and local storage without requiring high single-threaded speeds. It is best suited for general-purpose web serving, database operations, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.823Score
    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.
