    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-vCPU virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, 16 GB of RAM, and local storage for single-thread intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L2as_v4 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Lasv4 family, powered by a dedicated 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. It features 2 vCPUs, 1 physical core, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 480 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance, ranking in the top 25% of benchmarks. However, its multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are limited, placing in the bottom 25% and bottom 10% respectively. The server offers a qualitative balance of high single-thread speed and moderate memory capacity. It is best suited for workloads prioritizing single-core processing over heavy parallelization, such as light web serving, single-threaded data processing, and basic database tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.22Score
    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.
