    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-core virtual machine featuring a high-frequency AMD EPYC processor and local storage for single-thread intensive general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F2ads_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Fadsv7 family, powered by a 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 236 GB of local storage, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmarks indicate top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core CPU execution and single-threaded gzip compression scoring in the top 10%. Conversely, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics generally fall into the average tier, while static web serving throughput and multi-threaded decompression are weaker. This virtual machine is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that prioritize single-threaded CPU speed over massive parallelization, such as lightweight database operations, Redis caching, and small-scale web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.321Score
    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.
