    Server Description

    A dedicated twenty-core x86_64 virtual machine featuring balanced memory capacity and local storage for multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure DS15_v2 is a DSv2-family virtual machine configured with 20 dedicated vCPUs and 20 physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 140.0 GB of RAM (7.0 GB per core) and 287 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 instance delivers average multi-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 10945.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 29.2 million operations per second. While single-threaded performance and LLM text generation speeds are relatively weak, its memory capacity and dedicated CPU allocation provide stable resource density. The DS15_v2 is well-suited for database operations, multi-threaded software compilation, and general-purpose enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.34Score
    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.
