    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An asymmetrical memory-optimized instance pairing a large memory footprint with low compute resources for efficient in-memory caching.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure DS13-2_v2 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 56.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor at 2.6 GHz. It includes 115 GB of local storage and runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmark data shows weak to poor CPU and memory bandwidth performance, with stress-ng single-core scoring 1356.5 and large-block memory read bandwidth at 19.35 GB/sec. However, it delivers average performance for small-model LLM text generation at 90.73 tokens/sec. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 28.0 GB per core, this instance is highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads such as in-memory databases, caching layers, and lightweight Redis deployments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.19Score
    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.
