I recently added a commit (
18f0689695
) that should speed up sync times by a large amount, but I am not sure exactly how much. It would be very good to do a performance test of the duke branch versus the dev branch, to see what kind of speedup we get.The performance increase will be related to how many ztx's there are and how many blocks have happened since the last checkpoint was added. More ztx's per block means a larger sync speed increase and just after a release, when essentially all blocks are "protected" by a checkpoint, the increase will be even larger, and then degrade as more blocks are mined that are higher than a checkpoint height.
Please assign this issue to yourself if you want to run this test.
Additionally, this performance test will help 100% verify that the duke branch is consensus-compatible with the dev branch, so after this we can merge duke to dev and hopefully get a new release out soon after that.
Tips for running this test
git checkout
5f9bb80873
Since it might not be clear, the main question we are asking here is "How long does it take to do a full sync from genesis block to the latest chaintip of a Hush full node?" and compare the dev branch versus the duke branch. We should see a large speed difference.
Another tip is that both nodes should either have a peers.dat or not. Starting with no peers and having to find them usually adds a few minutes to sync time. As a data point I just did a full sync from genesis block with an existing peers.dat on the duke branch, with no peers on the same LAN, with only ipv4/ipv6 and it took 2hrs and 32 minutes.
In both tests
duke
branch was the fastest to fully sync, but I have doubts and I am running more attempts.@onryo thank you very much for doing these tests! We are seeing some nice speedups, even if the tests are noisy. I believe we are ready to sync the duke branch to dev
Unfortunately, my hoster put speed limits on both servers but still the latest code is the fastest to sync all blocks. I think we can close and merge
duke
intodev
.this is done, closing
