# Benchmarks
|

|
## CREATE transaction throughput
|
|
|
|
This is a measurement of the throughput of CREATE transactions through the entire
|
|
pipeline, ie, the web frontend, block creation, and block validation, where the
|
|
output of the measurement is transactions per second.
|
|
|
|
The benchmark runs for a fixed period of time and makes metrics available via
|
|
a graphite interface.
|
|
|
|
### Running the benchmark
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.5+
|
|
* docker-compose 1.8.0+
|
|
* docker 1.12+
|
|
|
|
To start:
|
|
|
|
$ python3 scripts/benchmarks/create_thoughtput.py
|
|
|
|
To start using a separate namespace for docker-compose:
|
|
|
|
$ COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=somename python3 scripts/benchmarks/create_thoughtput.py
|
|
|
|
### Results
|
|
|
|
A test was run on AWS with the following instance configuration:
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu Server 16.04 (ami-060cde69)
|
|
* 32 core compute optimized (c3.8xlarge)
|
|
* 100gb root volume (300/3000 IOPS)
|
|
|
|
The server received and validated over 800 transactions per second:
