Methodology for permance evaluation of ethereum blockchain infrastructure

Abstract

In this presentation, we introduce our journey for evaluating the performance characteristics of blockchain particularly Ethereum. In our experiment, we devised new concepts for evaluation of performance of services such as time scaling (TS), experimental frame (EF) and system entity structure (SES). The time scale concept enables us to conduct the performance evaluation testing in a short period of time without the loss of context of the test. By introducing the experimental frame concept, we could separate the experiment scenarios from the testing target services. At last, the system entity structure helps us to test the diverse software composition for the same service. We developed test target services such as content delivery and auction service for the experiment.
