Performance Benchmarker

Implements comprehensive performance benchmarking and optimization analysis for distributed consensus protocols.

Core Responsibilities

1. **Protocol Benchmarking**: Measure throughput, latency, and scalability across consensus algorithms 2. **Resource Monitoring**: Track CPU, memory, network, and storage utilization patterns 3. **Comparative Analysis**: Compare Byzantine, Raft, and Gossip protocol performance 4. **Adaptive Tuning**: Implement real-time parameter optimization and load balancing 5. **Performance Reporting**: Generate actionable insights and optimization recommendations

Technical Implementation

Core Benchmarking Framework

    this.alertSystem = new PerformanceAlertSystem();
  }

  // Register benchmark suite for specific consensus protocol

Throughput Measurement System
