    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine with balanced memory-to-core ratios and local storage for standard utility workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D8_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv3 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor featuring 8 vCPUs (4 physical cores with hyper-threading) running at 2.3 GHz, alongside 32.0 GB of RAM and 205 GB of local storage. Lacking GPU acceleration, its performance profile is characterized by lower-tier benchmark results, with single-core and multi-core CPU metrics generally falling into the bottom 10% and 25% respectively. Memory bandwidth and database operations also rank in the bottom 25%, though small-model LLM text generation achieves average tier speeds. This server is applicable for legacy general-purpose workloads, basic web serving, and light database tasks where moderate memory and local storage are required, but high computational throughput is not critical.

    Workload Profiles

    0.312Score
    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.
