| Framework | Benchmark | Description |
|---|---|---|
Actor4j |
ping.pong.grouped | This benchmark shows inter-communication between actors on different threads. Here, actors are bundled as a distributed pair and communicate with each other. Synchronization is necessary [1]. |
Actor4j |
ping.pong.bulk | This benchmark shows inter- and intra-communication between the actors (estimated distribution N:1). Here, actors are bundled as a (distributed) pair and communicate with each other. It is based on the benchmark for Akka or Akka.NET, which was used to advertise (50 million msg/s) the resulting message throughput. [1]. |
Actor4j |
ring.nfold | This benchmark shows intra-communcation between actors on the same thread. Here, actors are bundled in groups and communicate in a ring structure with each other. No synchronization is needed [1]. |
