    Server Description

    An ARM64-powered virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores, balanced memory allocation, and integrated local SSD storage for general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8pds_v5 is an ARM64-based virtual machine from the DPDSv5 family, featuring 8 dedicated Ampere Neoverse-N1 cores running at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB per core, and includes 307 GB of local SSD storage. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance delivers average performance in multi-core CPU benchmarks, static web serving at 8.73 GB/sec, and Redis SET operations at 10.92 million operations per second. While it exhibits weaker performance in single-threaded decompression and text processing, its resource density makes it a cost-efficient option for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and database operations. The bundled local SSD storage provides fast temporary disk space, making it suitable for applications requiring low-latency local data access.

    Workload Profiles

    0.55Score
    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.
