@Ned have you also considered FPGA acceleration of the blockchain replay? It is heavily CPU single core bound and likely involved many steps that would benefit from FGPA acceleration. I have these $275 Acorn 215 FPGAs from Squirrels research based on Xinlix Artix 7 FPGA that I'm interested in seeing whether they can be used to accelerate Steem node replay times. The main tech guy there @gpuhoarder on Discord thinks its possible.
