    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency dual-core virtual machine offering top-tier single-threaded performance with local storage for low-memory compute workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure F2alds_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine from the Faldsv7 family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs on an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. It is equipped with 4.0 GB of memory and 236 GB of local storage, with no bundled GPUs. The instance delivers top-tier single-core performance, as evidenced by high scores in single-threaded stress-ng, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression benchmarks. However, its multi-threaded decompression and static web serving throughput are relatively weak, and its 4.0 GB memory capacity represents a clear constraint. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for CPU-heavy, low-memory workloads such as single-threaded processing, lightweight database operations, and small-scale model inference, but is not suited for memory-intensive or highly parallelized applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.319Score
    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.
