    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, low-memory virtual instance featuring dedicated physical cores and local storage for efficient scale-out workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D8plds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 physical cores running at 3.0 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, and includes 307 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities in multi-core processing, software compilation, and database operations, though single-core and cryptographic performance are weaker due to the lack of advanced vector extensions. This resource-dense, cost-efficient hardware profile is designed for scale-out workloads, static web serving, and multi-threaded utility tasks rather than memory-heavy databases or machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.568Score
    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.
