Hyperledger Caliper

Welcome to the Hyperledger Caliper project. Caliper is a blockchain performance benchmark framework, which allows users to test different blockchain solutions with predefined use cases, and get a set of performance test results.

Currently supported blockchain solutions:

Hyperledger Composer is also supported.

Currently supported performance indicators:

  • Success rate
  • Transaction/Read throughput
  • Transaction/Read latency(minimum, maximum, average, percentile)
  • Resource consumption (CPU, Memory, Network IO,...)

See contact performance and scale workgroup to find out the definitions and corresponding measurement methods.

For more information on using Caliper please consult the documentation site

Pre-requisites

Make sure following tools are installed:

  • NodeJS 8 (LTS), 9, or 10 (LTS) we do not support higher versions as the dependancy chain does not permit this
  • node-gyp
  • Docker
  • Docker-compose

Building Caliper

Caliper is split into pacakges that are managed by Lerna, a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. To build Caliper, it is necessary to first pull the required base dependancies, and then bootstrap the Caliper project. Note that if you modify base code, it is necessary to rebuild the project

  • Run npm install in Caliper root folder to install base dependencies locally
  • Run npm run repoclean in Caliper root folder to ensure that all the packages are clean
  • Run npm run bootstrap to bootstrap the packages in the Caliper repository. This will install all package dependancies and link any cross dependancies. It will take some time to finish installation. If it is interrupted by ctrl+c, please recover the file package.json first and then run npm run bootstrap again.

Do not run any of the above commands with sudo, as it will cause the bootstrap process to fail
