# tm-bench
Tendermint blockchain benchmarking tool:
- https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/tm-bench
For example, the following:
```
tm-bench -T 10 -r 1000 localhost:26657
```
will output:
```
Stats Avg StdDev Max Total
Txs/sec 818 532 1549 9000
Blocks/sec 0.818 0.386 1 9
```
## Quick Start
[Install Tendermint](../introduction/install.md)
This currently is setup to work on tendermint's develop branch. Please ensure
you are on that. (If not, update `tendermint` and `tmlibs` in gopkg.toml to use
the master branch.)
then run:
```
tendermint init
tendermint node --proxy_app=kvstore
```
```
tm-bench localhost:26657
```
with the last command being in a seperate window.
## Usage
```
tm-bench [-c 1] [-T 10] [-r 1000] [-s 250] [endpoints]
Examples:
tm-bench localhost:26657
Flags:
-T int
Exit after the specified amount of time in seconds (default 10)
-c int
Connections to keep open per endpoint (default 1)
-r int
Txs per second to send in a connection (default 1000)
-s int
Size per tx in bytes
-v Verbose output
```
## How stats are collected
These stats are derived by having each connection send transactions at the
specified rate (or as close as it can get) for the specified time. After the
specified time, it iterates over all of the blocks that were created in that
time. The average and stddev per second are computed based off of that, by
grouping the data by second.
To send transactions at the specified rate in each connection, we loop
through the number of transactions. If its too slow, the loop stops at one second.
If its too fast, we wait until the one second mark ends. The transactions per
second stat is computed based off of what ends up in the block.
Each of the connections is handled via two separate goroutines.
## Development
```
make get_vendor_deps
make test
