Experimental dataset for the Performance Evaluation for Geographically Distributed Blockchain-based Services in a Cloud Computing Environment

This dataset is an experimental result of the paper “Performance Evaluation for Geographically Distributed Blockchain-based Services in a Cloud Computing Environment”. The Geographically Distributed Cloud Performance Evaluation Ambassador (GDCPEA) is deployed on each Go Ethereum (Geth) node to measure the elapsed time from the start to the end of the Geth main operations. When GDCPEA requests the GDCPE Log Server in the same region to record a log, the GDCPE Log Server records a timestamp log including the timestamp when the request was received, the name of the Geth node that sent the request, the name of the Geth operation to be measured, and so on. We conducted this experiment in AWS cloud computing services and deployed GDCPEA and GDCPE Log Server in up to three AWS regions (Seoul, Ohio, Singapore) depending on the purpose of the experiment. This dataset contains timestamp logs from each GDCPE Log Server, block and transaction information from the blockchain network, and resource usage data from each AWS EC2 instance. We attached the results of analyzing the performance changes when the number of nodes and clients of the blockchain network increases using these data to our paper.
