Benchmark
The benchmark.py script is used for testing OpenDHT in various cases. If you
run benchmark.py --help, you should find the following text:
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--performance Launches performance benchmark test. Available args
for "-t" are: gets.
--data-persistence Launches data persistence benchmark test. Available
args for "-t" are: delete, replace, mult_time.
Available args for "-o" are : dump_str_log,
keep_alive, trigger, traffic_plot, op_plot. Use "-m"
to specify the number of producers on the DHT.Use "-e"
to specify the number of values to put on the DHT.These options specify the feature to be tested. Each feature has its own tests.
You specify the test by using -t flag (see benchmark.py --help for full
help).

Usage
Before running the script, you have to build and install OpenDHT and its cython
wrapper (cython3 has to be installed) on the system so that it can be found by
the benchmark script.
$ cd $OPENDHT_SRC_DIR
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make installThen, you can use the script like so:
$ cd $OPENDHT_SRC_DIR/python/tools/
$ python3 benchmark.py --performance -t gets -n 2048
