Diablo is a benchmark suite to evaluate blockchain systems on the same ground. It was developed in a partnership between University of Sydney CSRG and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) DCL to evaluate blockchain and distributed ledger technologies when running realistic applications. The name Diablo stems from DIstributed Analytical BLOckchain benchmark. If you use Diablo, please cite our scientific article:
