Data Dictionary

The CSV has 50 columns grouped into configuration, aggregate measurements, and repeatability/dispersion statistics.

Configuration columns

Column Meaning
blockchain Blockchain implementation: Algorand, Diem, Ethereum, Quorum, or Solana.
mode Controlled network topology: fat-tree, full mesh, hypercube, scale-free, or torus.
workload Workload profile: DDoS, FIFA, GAFAM, Gaming, PayPal, or VISA.
cores CPU cores allocated to the experiment; 8 in this release.
ram RAM allocation in GB; 16 in this release.
secondaries Number of secondary instances/processes configured; 10 in this release.
dataset Workload dataset identifier; 2023 in this release.
link_strategy Network-link strategy; hop in this release.
network_size Network size: 10 nodes or 40 nodes.
dynamic Dynamic-topology flag; 0 (disabled) in this release.

Base aggregate columns

The prefixes average_throughput, average_latency, and energy each use the following suffixes:

Suffix Meaning
_count Number of repeated observations included in the aggregate.
_mean Arithmetic mean.
_max Maximum observed value.
_min Minimum observed value.
_q25 First quartile (25th percentile).
_q75 Third quartile (75th percentile).
_std Standard deviation.

commit_number_mean is the mean number of committed transactions for the configuration.

Units follow the experiment and paper conventions:

  • throughput: transactions per second;
  • latency: seconds;
  • energy: the aggregate energy measure exported by the Lilith experiment pipeline;
  • committed transactions: transaction count.

Repeatability and dispersion columns

For each of average_throughput, average_latency, and energy, the following derived suffixes are reported:

Suffix Meaning
_min_perc Percentage deviation of the minimum from the mean.
_max_perc Percentage deviation of the maximum from the mean.
_iqr Interquartile range, q75 - q25.
_iqr_perc Interquartile range as a percentage of the mean.
_delta_abs Absolute range, max - min.
_std_perc Standard deviation as a percentage of the mean (coefficient of variation expressed in percent).

Missing values and zero outcomes

Forty-nine configurations have zero mean throughput and zero mean latency. Percentage statistics that divide by those means are undefined and left blank. The dataset also contains additional blank minimum-percentage fields where a zero minimum prevents the exported relative statistic from being defined consistently. Energy fields are complete for all rows.
