    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density and local storage for memory-bound database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DS13-4_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the DSv2 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz, paired with 56.0 GB of RAM and 115 GB of local storage. The server's performance profile is characterized by weak CPU compute capabilities, as evidenced by bottom-quartile scores in stress-ng and Geekbench benchmarks. Conversely, it demonstrates average performance in memory-bound tasks, database operations, and Redis SET operations. This high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 14.0 GB per core makes the instance qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads that do not demand high CPU throughput. It is best suited for database operations, caching layers, and memory-heavy general-purpose applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.36Score
    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.
