Highly efficient client for [Pixelflut]:
|
|
|
|
Faster than [sturmflut]!

|
|
|
Can currently only send a single picture though.

## benchmark
|
|
|
|
The following benchmark was run on a max-spec X280 against version [d4c574b].

|
I could not figure out what the performance bottleneck is, but it doesn't seem
|
|
|
|
to be CPU limited, as turbo-boost doesn't kick in.

|
|
To reproduce, run the following commands in separate shells:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
iperf -s -p 1337
|
|
|
|
go run main.go -image benchmark/test.png -connection 10
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
55 Gbps on average! 🌊🌊🌊
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[sturmflut] (`./sturmflut 127.0.0.1:1337 benchmark/test.png -t 10`, version `8ec6ee9`) managed to get 48 Gpbs throughput on this system.

|
> Hint: Benchmarking throughput against the [pixelnuke][pixelflut_gh] server is
|
|
|
|
pointless, as performance is then CPU-limited to ~1 Gbps by the server.
|

|
|
|
Using [iperf] removes the server limitation.
|
2019-01-10 23:10:44 +01:00
|
|
|
This also means that these metrics of several Gbps are far higher than
|
|
|
|
realworld scenarios.
