Benchmark for Sawtooth with PBFT consensus, embedded into a docker-compose and python script.

Contains:

• Sawtooth with PBFT consensus
• stccpp (C++)
• sender tool using stcpp
• IPFS (module files etc)

Requires:

• docker & docker-compose
• python 3.7

Don't forget to pull submodules:

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Build to copy and set all the necessary files in the project.

./build.sh

Configure benchmark inside of ./benchmark.py .

Each profile is a test and uses docker-compose.yaml & docker-compose-sender.yaml as a template to create docker-compose.yaml.benchmark & docker-compose-sender.yaml.benchmark.

For example:

test_profiles = [
    {  # basic test first
        "sawtooth_parameters": {
            "max_batches_per_block": "300",
            "block_publishing_delay": "1000",
            "idle_timeout": "30000",
            "forced_view_change_interval": "100",
            "view_change_duration": "5000",
            "commit_timeout": "5000"
        },
        "sender_parameters": {
            "limit": "10000",
            "js_nb_parallele": "3",
            "js_wait_time": "1"
        }
    },
    #{
    #...
    #}
}

The location of the validator data is by default on an separate HDD to avoid filling the main drive. Set dot env variable it before continuing:

In .env :

VALIDATORDATAPATH=/media/100GB/validator-data

Please read the config section before starting the benchmark !

./benchmark.py

This will execute each profile of tests set in ./benchmark.py .

Note: At the end, benchmark.py finish by starting grafana and influxdb.

Stop all containers and delete all data.

./reset.py
