      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and flexible memory allocation for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D8s_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 1:4 resource ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage for external disks. Performance benchmarks place the server in the average tier, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 7435.42, a Redis SET throughput of 6.84 million operations per second, and a static web serving throughput of 6.85 GB/sec. It exhibits weaker single-core performance in bzip3 decompression and Geekbench. This virtual machine is best suited for balanced workloads such as static web serving, database operations, software compilation, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.44Score
      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.
