    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon compute, local SSD storage, and steady general-purpose performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv4 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor operating at 2.6 GHz, providing 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores. The system includes 32.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 307 GB local SSD, alongside Premium Storage capabilities. Benchmark evaluations indicate average performance across most metrics, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 4878.0 and a static web serving throughput of 7.25 GB/sec, though multi-threaded bzip3 decompression represents a performance bottleneck. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads, making it suitable for database operations, software compilation, and general-purpose web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.46Score
    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.
