    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine with dedicated physical cores and local SSD storage, optimized for scale-out workloads and web serving.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D8plds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor at 3.0 GHz. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, it provides 16.0 GB of RAM (2.0 GB per vCPU) and a 307 GB local SSD. Benchmark results show average multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 14501.82 and a static web serving throughput of 9.92 GB/sec. However, single-core performance is weak, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1057.0, and the lack of advanced vector extensions limits cryptographic and LLM inference workloads. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for scale-out, compute-bound tasks, static web serving, and lightweight database operations like Redis, which registers 10.26 million SET operations per second, but is constrained for memory-heavy or complex mathematical applications.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.56Score
    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.
