Explore the Diablo benchmarking framework for evaluating blockchain performance in this virtual meetup hosted by the Hyperledger Australasia Chapter. Learn about the challenges in comparing different blockchain proposals and the need for standardized evaluation methods. Discover how experimental settings impact the performance of state-of-the-art blockchains and the importance of detailed, reproducible experiments. Gain insights into a unifying framework for evaluating blockchains, including a suite of realistic Decentralized Applications (DApps) and deployment strategies. Understand the current limitations of blockchain systems in handling computationally demanding workloads and the potential benefits of selecting specific virtual machines or adjusting guarantees. Delve into the most extensive evaluation of blockchain systems to date and its implications for application developers and blockchain selection.
