Hardware performance and scaling

[dh35]

Environment
Devices: E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz / 16GB ram / SSD storage

Steps to Reproduce

1. Spin up single instance of bitcoind (BCHN) and [ASICseer BCH pool] software on single server of approximately E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz with 16GB of ram (or similar) using SSD storage
2. Have ASICseer ops point >= 50PH/s of SHA256 hashrate at the server for extended period of time (>3 hrs)
3. Verify <= 10% cpu load @ 50PH/s average over course of >3hrs
4. Verify acceptable RAM usage and availability @ >= 50PH/s
5. Check for overall system stability and mem/processing leaks

Expected Result
Listed device should comfortably handle >= 100PH/s as a bare minimum on [ASICseer BCH pool] software. Current p2pool codebase (with modifications) able to handle:

• 40PH/s (fully tweaked linux system) @ load average: 0.12, 0.09, 0.13 using 1.3GB ram

• 40PH/s p2pool average (~150 stratum connections): RX 27 KB/s and TX 737 KB/s with peaks: 762 KB/s RX and 2990 KB/s TX
