Diablo

Diablo is a benchmark to evaluate blockchain systems on the same ground. It was developed in a partnership between University of Sydney and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) to evaluate blockchain and distributed ledger technologies when running realistic applications. The name Diablo stems from DIstributed Analytical BLOckchain benchmark.

Red Belly Blockchain

Red Belly Blockchain was developed in collaboration between University of Sydney and the Commonwealth Science Industry Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Sydney. It builds upon a formally verified deterministic consensus protocol, called the Democratic Byzantine Fault Tolerant (DBFT) protocol because it does rely on a leader. The name Red Belly Blockchain comes from a snake endemic to the Sydney region called the Red-bellied Black Snake.

Synchrobench

Synchrobench is a micro-benchmark suite used to evaluate synchronization techniques on data structures. Synchrobench is written in C/C++ and Java and currently includes arrays, binary trees, hash tables, linked lists, queues and skip lists that are synchronized with copy-on-write, locks, read-copy-update, compare-and-swap and transactional memory. A non-synchronized version of these data structures is proposed in each language as a baseline to measure the performance gain on multi-(/many-)core machines.
