BlockReader

BlockReader is a small command line application to benchmark block reading performance. Currently, it is using bitcoin-cli to read blocks using the getblockheader followed by the getblock call to retrieve the block hex for a configurable number of blocks starting at a random block height around 500,000, using a configurable number of threads.

Usage

git clone [email protected]:craigraw/blockreader.git
cd blockreader
./gradlew run --args "<rpcaddress> <rpcuser> <rpcpassword> [numBlocks] [numThreads]"

Results are printed to stdout.
