    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated cores and local NVMe storage for efficient, low-compute, memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E2pds_v6 is an ARM-based, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB of memory per core, alongside a bundled 118 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers average single-core CPU and text processing performance, though its multi-core and cryptographic capabilities are relatively weak due to the lack of AVX and AMX extensions. The server's high memory-to-vCPU ratio and local NVMe storage offer qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads. It is well-suited for lightweight databases, caching systems, text processing, and ARM64 development tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.3Score
    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.
