【Abstract】Blockchain is a disruptive technology that focuses on the safe exchange of data between several distributed applications. Despite its widespread adoption, there are areas that require further research towards the understanding of their performance characteristics. In addition, consensus algorithms, a vital part of blockchain, require a more comprehensive understanding of their technical principles and characteristics. Along with the design of different types of consensus algorithms, several challenges, such as system scalability and power consumption, have been raised. Therefore, more comprehensive research is needed to investigate the degree to which consensus algorithms are built and how they perform. To this end, this study extends the body of knowledge and contributes towards the assessment of blockchain protocol performance. We present a comprehensive taxonomy of selected studies on blockchain performance, identifying similarities and differences while attempting to identify existing work on simulators and benchmarking frameworks that aim to explore the performance of blockchain-enabled consensus algorithms.

【摘要】区块链是一项颠覆性的技术，主要是在几个分布式应用之间安全交换数据。尽管它被广泛采用，但仍有一些领域需要进一步研究，以了解其性能特点。此外，共识算法是区块链的重要组成部分，需要对其技术原理和特点有更全面的了解。伴随着不同类型的共识算法的设计，提出了一些挑战，如系统可扩展性和功耗。因此，需要更全面的研究来调查共识算法的构建程度以及它们的表现。为此，本研究扩展了知识体系，为评估区块链协议的性能做出了贡献。我们提出了一个关于区块链性能的选定研究的综合分类法，确定了相似性和差异性，同时试图确定旨在探索区块链启用的共识算法性能的模拟器和基准测试框架的现有工作。
