      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered virtual machine with dedicated physical cores and a low-memory profile optimized for cost-efficient, compute-focused workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D8pls_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dplsv6 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and lacks local storage or integrated GPUs. Performance benchmarks generally fall in the average tier, highlighted by a stress-ng multi-core score of 16568.19 and a strong single-threaded gzip compression speed of 33.13 GB/sec. However, cryptographic operations represent a performance tradeoff, scoring in the bottom 25% on PassMark encryption tests. This server is optimized for compute-focused workloads with low memory requirements, such as static web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations, offering a resource-efficient profile for ARM-native deployments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.93Score
      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.
