Reading a weighing
What each column of a weighing means, and how the figures behind it are taken.
Columns
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| instruction | Its name from the IDL. |
| gross | Median compute units of a successful call on the stock build. |
| tare | Gross minus net. |
| net | Median compute units of the same calls on the Tare build. |
| inputs | How many successful calls the medians were taken over. |
Medians, not estimates
A figure is the upper middle value of what the meter reported, so it is always a number of units some call really burned. An instruction no input reached prints not measured (0 successful inputs) and adds nothing to the totals.
The total
The sum of the measured instructions’ medians: one call of each. Its inputs column is the count of all calls.
Binary size and rent
The weighing also holds each build’s size in bytes and the lamports it locks as rent, computed from the same rent configuration for both.
