Testnet 8 Test 18

2023-12-11

For this test, we used Digital Ocean Basic Droplet with the following server characteristics:

  • Name: s-2vcpu-4gb
  • vCPUs: 2
  • Memory (GiB): 4.0
  • SSD Disk (GiB): 80.0
  • Network Transfer (TB): 4.0

Network settings:

  • Slot duration: 4 sec
  • Nodes: 64
  • Workers: 32 per node

Algorithm of actions during testing:

  1. Stop creating blocks in the tested network.
  2. Generates ~150,000 transactions.
  3. Start 64 nodes.
  4. Fix the time in which all these transactions were added and accepted into blocks, i.e. executed.

Let’s analyze the line from the test results below:

Let’s check how many transactions were added and processed in the three slots.
Take 3 slots = 12 seconds.
18687(14)-18687(16)

(10000+10000+10000+10000+10000 + 10000+10000+10000+10000+10000 + 10000+10000+10000+10000 ) = 140 000

140000/12=11666,66 TPS.

Now let’s check the values for four slots. If we take the 4th slot (18687(17)) (here we have a non-uniform distribution of transactions, since there were ~150000 in total).
(140000 + 10000 + 10000) = 160000

160000/16=10000 TPS.
