1 Benchmarking
2 ============
4 Bitcoin Core has an internal benchmarking framework, with benchmarks
5 for cryptographic algorithms such as SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 and RIPEMD160. As well as the rolling bloom filter.
7 After compiling bitcoin-core, the benchmarks can be run with:
8 `src/bench/bench_bitcoin`
10 The output will look similar to:
11 ```

25 More benchmarks are needed for, in no particular order:
26 - Script Validation
27 - CCoinDBView caching
28 - Coins database
29 - Memory pool
30 - Wallet coin selection
