Multi-agent prototype of the IPF software is tested
The first test results of the multi-agent prototype of the IPF software are known. Earlier designed and built based on the JADE methodology the prototype was stress-tested at the MIPT in order to evaluate maximum transaction rate, flow, memory consumption and to see how the system works under certain conditions. The system proved to be stable and scalable although there were some problems found regarding handling of a larger number of transactions simultaneously. Test results and the description of the test methodology will later be published on this site.
