Oh that does sound interesting— its the property I was trying to approximate with the FEC.. It achieves the one-shot, but there is overhead. One plus we have is that we can do some tricks to make some computational soundness arguments that we'd actually get average performance on average (e.g. that someone can't author transactions in such a way as to jam the process). > In any case, I have no horse here (I think changing the client so it's > multithreaded is the best way to go), but Yaron's work is pretty cool and > may be applicable. Thank you, I've certantly queued the paper for reading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
