Collaboration with SRE and Whiteblock teams to support efforts to report data from Whiteblock test infrastructure.
Profiling work completed this week.
Investigation of the threading approach for handling Casper-related messages to see if the current approach is best or if we should pursue an optimization.
Test infrastructure and performance testing
Testnet support: Work in progress to finish tooling to launch and monitor the testnet. Planning to test this this week.
Testing in Whiteblock: Collaboration in progress to get data out of Whiteblock for analysis and to support operation of tests in Whiteblock to run in CI.
Performance testing: Work in progress to develop a contract that best supports measurement of COMM events/second and to establish a benchmark for performance. The goal for Mercury 1.0 is 1,000-1,500 COMM events/second.
Wallet
