Transaction Generator: Test Cases

This page describes the first benchmarking results of transaction generator.

Working system

The first results was collected on this computer:

1. CPU: Intel Core i7-7500U 2.70GHz
2. Memory: 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz
3. OS: Debian 10 amd64

Run commands

Run a cluster:

$ cd cardano-node
$ tmux
$ ./scripts/shelley-testnet.sh

Run a generator (in another terminal):

$ cd cardano-node
$ ./scripts/generator.sh --node-id 0

Settings #1

1. Each benchmarking transaction has 1 input and 1 output, with fixed amount of money (100 ADA).
2. Slot duration = 20 sec.
3. txNumServiceTime = 0.01 sec.

Settings #2

1. Each benchmarking transaction has 1 input and 1 output, with fixed amount of money (100 ADA).
2. Slot duration = 20 sec.
3. txNumServiceTime = 0

Transactions with Additional Size

Please note that these results are from local cluster testing (so there's no real-world network latency).

Number of nodes	Number of txs	Inputs	Outputs	Add tx size, bytes	Time

<< Could we please populate the following table as well - I assume that there will be some slight variation in Tx Size, if it is constant please modify appropriately

| Num of Inputs | Num of Outputs | Tx size (mean) | Tx size (var) | Tx Size (min) | Tx Size (max) | | 1 | 1 | | | | |
