    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core server featuring strong single-threaded performance and balanced memory allocation for lightweight general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DC2s_v2 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DCSv2 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon E-2288G processor. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server provides 2 physical cores and 2 vCPUs at a 3.7 GHz clock speed, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM and 102 GB of Premium Storage-capable local storage. Benchmark data highlights strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression reaching 34.48 GB/sec, while multi-core performance remains weak due to the dual-core limitation. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that rely on high single-core clock speeds rather than massive parallelization. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, single-threaded utility scripts, and basic development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.284Score
    Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): PassMark integer math, PassMark compression, PassMark string sorting.
