LAST WEEK’S Top Commits
Last week, we still focused on enhancing the stability and performance of Nebulas. We conducted a series of stress tests, including stress tests for normal transactions and smart contract. Through the stress tests we found some performance bottlenecks in our system. We tried to improve the performance of executing transactions in parallel. And we also tried to use mysql instead of leveldb to store data. What’s more, the nebulas explorer of our testnet is ready. And our wallet of Nebulas are under development.
Summary the last week is as follows,
Core
- Tried to execute transactions in parallel.
- Used mysql instead of leveldb in feature/mysql branch.
- Fixed some bugs.
Others
- Added stress test for send transaction and smart contract.
- Troubleshooted memory leaks.
