Besu benchmarks
Short summary:
- BNADD
| Gas | ||
|---|---|---|
| Geth | 350 | |
| OE | 225 | |
| Besu | 165 | |
| Nethermind | 120 |
BNADD cost will need to be adjusted when EIP 2046 is accepted
- BNMUL
| Gas | ||
|---|---|---|
| Geth | 3000 | |
| OE | 6250 | |
| Besu | 19109 | |
| Nethermind | 5250 |
Besu result is surprising (I was told that some Rust lib is used, and addition looks fast, but multiplication is very slow). Only little repricing will be necessary when EIP 2046 is accepted
- SHA256 precompile
Currently it’s 60 gas + 12 gas per 32 byte word. Proposed formula is A * ((len(input) + 8) / 64 + 1) + B, with coefficients below
| A | B | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Geth | 5 | 3 | |
| OE | 9 | 4 | |
| Besu | 5 | 10 | |
| Nethermind | 10 | 5 |
EIP 2666 proposes A = 9, B = 5. Besu implementation is Java built-in, so I doubt it can be improved, so it would be better to set A = 9, B = 10 that largely fits everyone. There are no large one-off costs in this precompile, so it’s EIP 2046 - safe.
- RIPEMD precompile
Currently it’s 600 gas + 120 gas per 32 byte word. Proposed formula is A * ((len(input) + 8) / 64 + 1) + B, with coefficients below
| A | B | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Geth | 12 | 6 | |
| OE | 8 | 2 | |
| Besu | 29 | 16 | |
| Nethermind | 10 | 6 |
EIP 2666 proposes A = 12, B = 6. There are no large one-off costs in this precompile, so it’s EIP 2046 - safe. Besu expects to have performance improvements by the end of the year
- Keccak256 performance
Currently it’s 30 gas + 6 gas per 32 byte word. Proposed formula is A * (len(input) / 136 + 1) + B, with coefficients below
| A | B | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Geth | 13 | 13 | |
| OE | 15 | 2 | |
| Besu | 19 | 28 | |
| Nethermind | 16 | 3 |
EIP 2666 proposes A = 15, B = 13. There are no large one-off costs in this precompile, so it’s EIP 2046 - safe. Besu expects to have performance improvements by the end of the year
