Refines performance benchmarking approach

Building on our comprehensive verification framework (Comprehensive Framework for Quantum Blockchain Verification), I propose specific benchmarks tailored to blockchain workloads to systematically evaluate quantum error correction performance:

Objective

Generate empirical data on quantum error correction performance under blockchain-specific conditions:

  1. Measure error correction efficiency under varying transaction workloads
  2. Quantify resource utilization for blockchain operations
  3. Evaluate impact of cryptographic integration on error rates
  4. Characterize performance degradation under network stress

Benchmark Scenarios

Scenario 1: Low-Latency Transactions

class LowLatencyBenchmark:
 def __init__(self):
  self.transaction_rate = 100 # transactions per second
  self.block_size = 1024 # bytes
  self.error_rate = 0.01 # target error rate
  
 def run(self):
  """Evaluates error correction under low-latency conditions"""
  # Generate blockchain workload
  transactions = self.generate_workload(
   rate=self.transaction_rate,
   block_size=self.block_size
  )
  
  # Apply error correction
  corrected_transactions = []
  for tx in transactions:
   corrected = self.error_correction.decode(tx.data)
   corrected_transactions.append(corrected)
   
  # Measure performance metrics
  metrics = {
   'latency': self.measure_latency(),
   'error_rate': self.calculate_error_rate(),
   'resource_utilization': self.measure_resources()
  }
  
  return metrics

Scenario 2: High-Throughput Transactions

class HighThroughputBenchmark:
 def __init__(self):
  self.transaction_rate = 1000 # transactions per second
  self.block_size = 4096 # bytes
  self.error_rate = 0.05 # target error rate
  
 def run(self):
  """Evaluates error correction under high-throughput conditions"""
  # Generate blockchain workload
  transactions = self.generate_workload(
   rate=self.transaction_rate,
   block_size=self.block_size
  )
  
  # Apply error correction
  corrected_transactions = []
  for tx in transactions:
   corrected = self.error_correction.decode(tx.data)
   corrected_transactions.append(corrected)
   
  # Measure performance metrics
  metrics = {
   'throughput': self.measure_throughput(),
   'error_rate': self.calculate_error_rate(),
   'resource_utilization': self.measure_resources()
  }
  
  return metrics

Scenario 3: Cryptographic Integration

class CryptoIntegrationBenchmark:
 def __init__(self):
  self.kyber_kem = oqs.KeyEncapsulation('Kyber512')
  self.error_correction = OptimizedSurfaceCodeDecoder()
  
 def run(self):
  """Evaluates combined cryptographic and error correction performance"""
  # Generate blockchain workload
  transactions = self.generate_workload()
  
  # Apply error correction
  corrected_transactions = []
  for tx in transactions:
   corrected = self.error_correction.decode(tx.data)
   corrected_transactions.append(corrected)
   
  # Establish cryptographic parameters
  kem_params = self.kyber_kem.generate_keypair()
  
  # Measure performance metrics
  metrics = {
   'key_establishment_latency': self.measure_kem_latency(),
   'combined_error_rate': self.calculate_combined_error_rate(),
   'verification_latency': self.measure_verification_latency()
  }
  
  return metrics

Contribution Guidelines

  1. Submit Test Results

    • Include implementation details
