There is a single node and there may be more than two actors, it runs for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 actors. Messages may or may not be serialized. The test then pass 1 mil messages from PingActor to PongActor and back again. There is no specific message size taken into account here, the message may be as small as your framework supports.

Creates an actor, which spawns 10 new actors, each of them spawns 10 more actors, etc. until one million actors are created on the final level. Then, each of them returns back its ordinal number (from 0 to 999999), which are summed on the previous level and sent back upstream, until reaching the root actor. (The answer should be 499999500000). https://github.com/atemerev/skynet
