Running AMM benchmarking tests

INFO

The following section aims to help us run benchmarking tests on the Eclipse Network.

Why AMM Benchmarking?​

• Essentially, we want to test the performance of the Eclipse Network by obtaining the transactions per second (TPS) that the network can handle and its latency.

Pre-requisites​

• You will have to have nodejs installed on your machine. You can install it from here.

• Now, once you have that ready, you will have to clone our benchmarking repository. You can do that by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Eclipse-Laboratories-Inc/eclipse-benchmarking/

• To do this you will also have to ensure that git is installed. You can install it from here.

Running the benchmarking tests​

• To run the benchmarking tests, you will first have to navigate to the token_swap folder after cloning the repository.

• First we need to install ts-node. To do this, run the following command:

npm i -g ts-node

WARNING

You might have to give super user or admin permissions to install globally or use the -g flag.

• Now we need to install the dependencies. To do this, run the following command:

npm i

• Make sure to run this command inside the token_swap folder.

• Now, the final step is to run the benchmarking tests using the following command:

ts-node spam.ts

• This runs 10 instances of an AMM performing any specified number of swaps.

Modifying the benchmarking tests​

• To modify the number of swaps, we will have to modify the benchmark.ts file inside the token_swap folder.

• The following is the code snippet that we will have to modify:

...
   await mintTo(connection, payer, mintA, userAccountA, owner, SWAP_AMOUNT_IN);

    console.log("Run test: benchmark swap");
    await benchmarkSwap(275);

    console.log("Success\n");

• Here we can change the specified number of swaps. The default is 275.

• The above code snippet is located at line 63 in the benchmark.ts file.

Example​

• If all the steps are followed correctly, you should see an output similar to the following:
