    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A low-core virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-CPU ratio for lightweight, memory-leaning workloads and basic development tasks.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DS11_v2 is an x86_64 virtual machine in the DSv2 family, powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 2 dedicated physical cores and no hyperthreading. It features 14.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 7.0 GB per core ratio, alongside 29 GB of local storage and no GPU. Benchmark data reveals weak to poor CPU performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench multi-core scores falling in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively. However, its memory subsystem performs at an average level, as shown by its PassMark memory score. This resource profile makes the DS11_v2 qualitatively cost-effective for memory-leaning, low-compute tasks. It is best suited for lightweight caching, basic text processing, and small-scale development environments that require more memory than processing power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.21Score
    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.
