Add `benchmark extrinsic` command #11456

ggwpez · 2022-05-18T15:21:16Z

Makes it possible to benchmark the execution speed of an extrinsic. It does so by filling a block with these extrinsics and measures its execution time.
The results is then divided by the number of extrinsics and printed to console.

Example invocation:

$ substrate benchmark extrinsic --pallet system --extrinsic remark --dev

Creating empty BABE epoch changes on what appears to be first startup.    
Building block, this takes some time...    
Extrinsics per block: 12000    
Running 10 warmups...    
Executing block 100 times    
Executing a SYSTEM::REMARK extrinsic takes[ns]:
Total: 6897382
Min: 68685, Max: 69797
Average: 68973, Median: 68899, Stddev: 188.99
Percentiles 99th, 95th, 75th: 69293, 69230, 69122

Changes:

Add a benchmark extrinsic <pallet> <extrinsic> command
Implement the command for System::Remark and Balances::TransferKeepAlive
Modify benchmark overhead to re-use the logic
Update node+template to integrate the command

WIP:

~~Document that it is non-endowing, non-reaping and currently always the same sender and receiver account~~
Print all available pallets and extrinsics in the help menu
~~Do some more lenient input transformation (eg. lower-case, trim - and _)~~

Running this 1000 times with a full block takes ~33 minutes 🙈. Reducing it to ~3 minutes per default. Signed-off-by: Oliver Tale-Yazdi <oliver.tale-yazdi@parity.io>

You don't remove the block execution time of an empty block. Meaning you don't really measure the extrinsic execution time.

Yes this is a simplification in the code. An empty block executes in about 5.3ms, which is only 0.265% of a 2s block and therefore negligible.
I could still change it to measure an empty block first, do you think its worth it?

How do you know for every runtime what it takes to execute an empty block? :P

Yes, please do this.

I updated it to first measure an empty block and then subtract the average of that from the full block to account for the inherent timings and execution overhead. @bkchr

This should already be the case since --dev is passed but somehow not... Signed-off-by: Oliver Tale-Yazdi <oliver.tale-yazdi@parity.io>
