    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine offering eight dedicated cores, a high memory-to-core ratio, and integrated local storage for balanced multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure DS13 is an x86_64 virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated physical cores (8 vCPUs) operating at 2.6 GHz, paired with 56.0 GB of memory and 115 GB of local storage. Benchmark data reveals a distinct performance profile: single-core metrics, such as Geekbench single-core and single-threaded gzip compression, rank in the bottom 25%, whereas multi-core and memory bandwidth benchmarks consistently achieve average, middle-50% results. This resource configuration provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.0 GB per core, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that benefit from larger memory footprints rather than raw single-threaded CPU speed. The instance is suited for database operations, static web serving, software compilation, and general-purpose workloads requiring moderate multi-threaded compute capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.615Score
    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.
