    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine featuring dedicated compute cores, low memory density, and fast local NVMe SSD storage for efficient processing.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8plds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dpldsv6 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and includes a 472 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark results indicate average overall performance, highlighted by strong single-threaded gzip compression at 33.05 GB/sec, though cryptographic performance is weaker. With its compute-leaning resource allocation and fast local storage, this instance is suited for web serving, software compilation, and database operations that do not require high memory-to-CPU ratios.

    Workload Profiles

    0.91Score
    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.
