RE: How to Process 100M Transfers / Second on a Single Blockchain

in #blockchain8 years ago

It sounds like a great step forward for Steem and the blockchain technology overall. I don't understand it all, but adding a conditional requirement made more transfers possible at one time by including the same accounts in one block, that I do get. How much is the sorting by account or memory access pattern going to improve the speed?

Sort:  

Any step you don't perform while producing a block, you end up performing every block every time you reindex. Even if it only saved .000001 second it would add up to meaningful time after millions of blocks. Sorting 3000 transactions can take a lot more than .000001 seconds.
