    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine offering high memory density and balanced multi-core performance for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DS14_v2 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL vCPUs, 112.0 GB of RAM, and 229 GB of local storage. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.0 GB per vCPU. Performance benchmarks indicate a tradeoff, with weak single-core execution but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. The server achieves a stress-ng multi-core score of 19931.94 and a PassMark CPU score of 17133.93. It is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads that benefit from a large memory footprint without requiring top-tier single-threaded CPU speeds. Suited workloads include database operations, Redis caching, multi-threaded software compilation, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    1.06Score
    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.
