Running the benchmarks on localhost gives very similar results to running
on two machines in a low latency network.

You should be able to run the tests on most hardware.

I don't think we have much documentation on the test naming, but as an
example
python_protobuf_sync_streaming_ping_pong

This tests the synchronous python client streaming API using protobuf
messages.  Ping pong describes how the test operates; send a message, wait
for a response, then send another message.

tools/run_tests/performance/scenario_config.py is a good place to look at
some more of the parameters for the tests.
