      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered virtual machine with dedicated physical cores and a low memory footprint, optimized for scale-out workloads and web serving.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure D8pls_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine instance from the DPLSv5 family, powered by an 8-core Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6048.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 14505.83, alongside average memory bandwidth. However, single-core performance is weak, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1092.0. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for scale-out, memory-lean workloads such as static web serving, Redis key-value stores, and ARM-native application development, but is less suited for memory-intensive databases or complex cryptographic tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.61Score
      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.
