To find out performance improvement opportunities a performance test suite is necessary for the Monero project. + +I have been experimenting with the idea of performance tests with Monero past few weeks ( [perf script](https://github.com/0xFFFC0000/monero-perf), [small C++ code to benchmark monero](https://github.com/0xFFFC0000/benchmark-project), [monero rpc test](https://github.com/0xFFFC0000/monero/pull/17) ). and I believe a RPC client that stress tests the daemon is the way to go. My intended goals first this CCS: + +- Performance benchmarks. The performance benchmark test I am working on right now is stress testing Monerod under an intense load that tries to mimic a real-world heavy node. Right now it is in very early shape. The end goal is to mimic real-world wallet usage on the Monero daemon. +- Completion of Read/Write Lock PR [#9181](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9181). PR 9181 is a huge change to the core of the blockchain implementation of the Monero project. It requires a lot of careful analysis and testing. Task 1 and Task 2 are kind of depend on each other. I use benchmarking results from task 1 to test/improve/debug 9181. @jeffro256_ has implemented an important and sensitive part of the 9181 code and has improved the PR with his suggestions. +- Seraphis wallet LMDB storage. Based on our discussion in the IRC #monero group, it seems porting the entire wallet2 storage to LMDB at this point is not a wise decision. Instead of that, we should start implementing the Seraphis wallet cache with LMDB. Once I am finished with Task 1 and 2, my next big goal is to start focusing on this task. The target of this task is to have Seraphis wallet only using LMDB as its cache/storage engine. +- Static analysis. This task hasn't been finished from my previous CCS by the time I am submitting this CCS. I am hopeful I will finish it before the end of my previous CCS. But in case I am not able to finish it, this is one of the tasks I have on my todo list: "Analyze existing static analyzers (clangd-based analyzer, NASA/ikos, Facebook/infer, etc) and report to @selsta about the possibility of adding one of them as a workflow to our GitHub repository. Target will be running static analysis on submitted PR as workflow." + +If all milestones are not claimed within 100 days of start of the CCS, then this CCS will automatically expire and remaining funds should return to GeneralFund Wallet. + +### Who + + +I have been contributing to the Monero core repository for the past few months with a total of multiple ([PRs]( https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3A0xFFFC0000+)) merged commits thus far. Because i have been averaging over 40 hours a week, I have decided to change my CCS to full time work. Some ongoing contributions: + +- Implemented Read/Write lock mechanism for core blockchain implementation. [9181](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9181). +- Helped review multiple [PRs](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+reviewed-by%3A%40me). +- Helped to review and fix multiple HackerOne reports with @selsta. + +A special thanks to all community members who are always available to help me with technical questions. + +Previous Proposals: + +- [429](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/429) + +### Funding + +- 30xmr/mth * 3 months = 90xmr +- Schedule: 40hr/week * 12week + + +Freedom wins. +0xFFFC \ No newline at end of file
