      Server Description

      An ARM64 virtual machine featuring eight dedicated physical cores and balanced memory allocation for predictable general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D8ps_v5 is an ARM64-based general-purpose virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and integrated GPUs, it relies on remote Premium Storage. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 14501.41 and a static web serving throughput of 10.39 GB/sec. However, single-core performance is weak, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1030.0 and a poor single-threaded bzip3 decompression rate of 7.26 GB/sec. The absence of AVX and AMX instruction sets limits its suitability for vector-heavy calculations. Qualitatively, the dedicated core architecture offers predictable resource density for workloads such as static web serving, Redis operations, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.58Score
      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.
