    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A cost-efficient, single-core virtual machine with balanced memory and local storage for entry-level utility workloads and basic web serving.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DS1_v2 is an entry-level, general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv2 family, powered by a single dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL core running at 2.6 GHz. It features 4.0 GB of memory, 7 GB of local storage, and no GPU. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the lower tiers, with a single-core Geekbench score of 1008.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 1456.03. Memory bandwidth is limited, reaching 12.1 GB/sec for uncached reads and 9.45 GB/sec for writes. Static web serving throughput is 1.26 GB/sec, and Redis SET operations reach 1.25 million operations per second. This highly cost-efficient, low-resource configuration is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, development testing, and simple background utility tasks.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.1Score
    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.
