End-to-end benchmark differences

Comparing this PR (new) against master (old). Numbers come from cloud VMs, so changes under 5% are shown as ≈ and are likely run-to-run noise rather than a real regression or improvement. 🟢 = improvement, 🔴 = regression; uncolored rows are neutral measures reported for context.

End-to-end benchmark results

This page is intended to collect the latest end-to-end benchmark results produced by Hydra's continuous integration (CI) system from the latest master code.

Please note that these results are approximate as they are currently produced from limited cloud VMs and not controlled hardware. Rather than focusing on the absolute results, the emphasis should be on relative results, such as how the timings for a scenario evolve as the code changes.

Scenario benchmark results

This page collects results from the scenario matrix: every combination of cluster size, UTxO shape, and incremental-ops mode is exercised by CI from the latest master code and reported below.

Numbers are approximate. They come from cloud VMs rather than controlled hardware, so the useful signal is the relative change between cells and between commits, not the absolute throughput.

Summary across cells

TPS columns are rates (transactions per second); Wall clock (s) is the measured elapsed time from the first tx submission to the last confirmation. Times are rounded to one decimal.
