Performance benchmarking and Regression testing

Questions to address:

• how long does it take to instantiate N empty nodes (no links)?
• how much memory does it take to instantiate N empty nodes (no links)?
• how long does it take to instantiate N empty nodes in a ring (connected by links)?
• how much memory does it take to instantiate N empty nodes in a ring (connected by links)?
• for a ring with N empty nodes, after instantiation, how many node-to-node messages can be sent in 1 wall clock minute? (one message going around the ring)
• for a ring with N empty nodes, after instantiation, how many node-to-node messages can be sent concurrently in 1 wall clock minute? The above questions can be investigated for both serial simulations and threaded simulations and with MPI nodes
