EXPLORING BLOCKCHAIN PERFORMANCE WITH CPUHEAVY MICROBENCHMARK ON SMART CONTRACTS
Issues in Information Systems · 2021
Blockchain is an emerging technology that has many uses and applications among many industries such as banking, education, and tourism.It has proven over time to be more cryptographically secure than traditional databases.Many people confuse Bitcoin with Blockchain.Because of the considerable value of Bitcoins, people have the perception that blockchain technology requires large computing infrastructure and power due to CPU bottleneck challenges.This paper presents the process used in testing blockchain technology performance on a virtual machine by focusing on benchmarking workloads like CPUHeavy using Ethereum blockchain and comparing two different algorithm sorts, Quick and bubble.The results of the testing indicate that blockchain workloads can be performed on smaller machines with very little CPU bottlenecks.In addition, performance test outcomes found that the CPUHeavy and Quicksort was more superior.
