Based on the `validation:block_connected` USDT +tracepoint. + +The script takes three positional arguments. The first two arguments, the start, +and end height indicate between which blocks the benchmark should be run. The +third acts as a duration threshold in milliseconds. When the `ConnectBlock()` +function takes longer than the threshold, information about the block, is +printed. For more details, see the header comment in the script. + +By default, `bpftrace` limits strings to 64 bytes due to the limited stack size +in the kernel VM. Block hashes as zero-terminated hex strings are 65 bytes which +exceed the string limit. The string size limit can be set to 65 bytes with the +environment variable `BPFTRACE_STRLEN`. + +The following command can be used to benchmark, for example, `ConnectBlock()` +between height 20000 and 38000 on SigNet while logging all blocks that take +longer than 25ms to connect. + +``` +$ BPFTRACE_STRLEN=65 bpftrace contrib/tracing/connectblock_benchmark.bt 20000 38000 25 +``` + +In a different terminal, starting Bitcoin Core in SigNet mode and with +re-indexing enabled. + +``` +$ ./src/bitcoind -signet -reindex +``` + +This produces the following output. +``` +Attaching 5 probes... +ConnectBlock Benchmark between height 20000 and 38000 inclusive +Logging blocks taking longer than 25 ms to connect. +Starting Connect Block Benchmark between height 20000 and 38000. +BENCH 39 blk/s 59 tx/s 59 inputs/s 20 sigops/s (height 20038) +Block 20492 (000000f555653bb05e2f3c6e79925e01a20dd57033f4dc7c354b46e34735d32b) 20 tx 2319 ins 2318 sigops took 38 ms +BENCH 1840 blk/s 2117 tx/s 4478 inputs/s 2471 sigops/s (height 21879) +BENCH 1816 blk/s 4972 tx/s 4982 inputs/s 125 sigops/s (height 23695) +BENCH 2095 blk/s 2890 tx/s 2910 inputs/s 152 sigops/s (height 25790) +BENCH 1684 blk/s 3979 tx/s 4053 inputs/s 288 sigops/s (height 27474) +BENCH 1155 blk/s 3216 tx/s 3252 inputs/s 115 sigops/s (height 28629) +BENCH 1797 blk/s 2488 tx/s 2503 inputs/s 111 sigops/s (height 30426) +BENCH 1849 blk/s 6318 tx/s 6569 inputs/s 12189 sigops/s (height 32275) +BENCH 946 blk/s 20209 tx/s 20775 inputs/s 83809 sigops/s (height 33221) +Block 33406 (0000002adfe4a15cfcd53bd890a89bbae836e5bb7f38bac566f61ad4548c87f6) 25 tx 2045 ins 2090 sigops took 29 ms +Block 33687 (00000073231307a9828e5607ceb8156b402efe56747271a4442e75eb5b77cd36) 52 tx 1797 ins 1826 sigops took 26 ms +BENCH 582 blk/s 21581 tx/s 27673 inputs/s 60345 sigops/s (height 33803) +BENCH 1035 blk/s 19735 tx/s 19776 inputs/s 51355 sigops/s (height 34838) +Block 35625 (0000006b00b347390c4768ea9df2655e9ff4b120f29d78594a2a702f8a02c997) 20 tx 3374 ins 3371 sigops took 49 ms +BENCH 887 blk/s 17857 tx/s 22191 inputs/s 24404 sigops/s (height 35725) +Block 35937 (000000d816d13d6e39b471cd4368db60463a764ba1f29168606b04a22b81ea57) 75 tx 3943 ins 3940 sigops took 61 ms +BENCH 823 blk/s 16298 tx/s 21031 inputs/s 18440 sigops/s (height 36548) +Block 36583 (000000c3e260556dbf42968aae3f904dba8b8c1ff96a6f6e3aa5365d2e3ad317) 24 tx 2198 ins 2194 sigops took 34 ms +Block 36700 (000000b3b173de9e65a3cfa738d976af6347aaf83fa17ab3f2a4d2ede3ddfac4) 73 tx 1615 ins 1611 sigops took 31 ms +Block 36832 (0000007859578c02c1ac37dabd1b9ec19b98f350b56935f5dd3a41e9f79f836e) 34 tx 1440 ins 1436 sigops took 26 ms +BENCH 613 blk/s 16718 tx/s 25074 inputs/s 23022 sigops/s (height 37161) +Block 37870 (000000f5c1086291ba2d943fb0c3bc82e71c5ee341ee117681d1456fbf6c6c38) 25 tx 1517 ins 1514 sigops took 29 ms +BENCH 811 blk/s 16031 tx/s 20921 inputs/s 18696 sigops/s (height 37972) + +Took 14055 ms to connect the blocks between height 20000 and 38000. + +Histogram of block connection times in milliseconds (ms). +@durations: +[0] 16838 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| +[1] 882 |@@ | +[2, 4) 236 | | +[4, 8) 23 | | +[8, 16) 9 | | +[16, 32) 9 | | +[32, 64) 4 | | +``` |
