    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD processors, local SSD storage, and support for premium storage configurations.

    Microsoft Azure DC2ads_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DCADSv5 family, powered by an x86_64 AMD processor and managed via the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance features 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of system memory, maintaining a balanced 4.0 GB of RAM per core. For local storage, it includes a 77 GB SSD and supports Premium Storage configurations. This server does not feature any GPUs or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Given its resource profile, the DC2ads_v5 is positioned as a cost-efficient option for entry-level workloads, including small databases, development environments, and lightweight web applications requiring dedicated CPU allocation.

    Workload Profiles

    0.11Score
    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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3).
