- moved "process_dashboard.nim" in "tools/"
- README: made Witti the documented testnet and added instructions for
getting metrics out of the local node
- moved Prometheus config file generation in its own script
- the static Grafana dashboard definition now covers all nodes, using
a variable; only the remote testnet dashboards need to be dynamically
generated
- "launch_local_testnet.sh" no longer needs a "--grafana" option
* refactor blook pool caches to directly use TableRef to avoid SSZ decoding, which was consuming 20% of profile on mainnet eth2_network_simulation
* use table's hasKeyOrPut
* bump eth2 spec reference to v0.11.1
* cache whole StateData objects and switch from expensive clear() to cheaper new object instantiation for caching
* remove scaffolding and stop re-assigning to part of StateData object
* 80-character lines
* simplify data storage to key-value, tries are not relevant for NBC
* locked-down version of lmdb dependency
* easier to build / maintain on various platforms
* Fix build instruction (make update deps is not enough on first install)
* use underline instead of bold
* Alternative fix
* Makefile: fix the default target on fresh clone
* fix ANSI escape code bleeding into my shell prompt
On your very first connection to each testnet, you'll be asked to
become a validator. Please consult our private repo for a Goerli
Eth1 private key that you can use for deposits.
Other changes:
* Added a simple wrapper ./connect-to-testnet script calling the
nims file in the correct environment. No extension was used to
make the command the same on Unix and Windows.
* Bumped a number of modules with fixes from this week
* `make testnet0` and `make testnet1` will no longer delete your
existing database. This is considered a more appropriate behavior
for testing forward sync.
* re-enable test_interop based on zcli with 0.9.1 specs and update initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(...) to 0.9.1
* switch many procs to funcs
* fix import os.nim instead; ospaths is deprecated [Deprecated] warnings
The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`.
To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user
nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0`
to start a user node).
If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll
launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for
testing the sync for example).
- updated README.md
- beacon_chain.nimble: accept compilation flags as params
- nim.cfg: enable `--opt:speed` at the top level
- simulation scripts: allow overriding GIT_ROOT and do some refactoring
* allow running more or fewer validators
* use deterministic key generation for tests to avoid exhausting system
RNG
* update README with simulator docs
* write the data of each validator to separate file, instead of a big
chainstart.json (makes it easier to run different validator counts)
