    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine offering a high memory-to-core ratio and local storage for database and memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DS13_v2 is a DSv2-family virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It is equipped with 56.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.0 GB, alongside 115 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance lacks GPU acceleration and public IPv4 addresses. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core and memory performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5978.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 11.85 million operations per second, contrasted by weaker single-core execution. This hardware profile is well-suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, static web serving, and caching layers, offering a balanced resource density for general-purpose and memory-optimized enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.64Score
    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.
