Randition: Random Blockchain Partitioning for Write Throughput
David T. Nguyen, Teng-Sheng Moh · 2019
This paper proposes to support dynamic runtime partitioning of Tendermint, which is an in-development state machine replication algorithm that uses the blockchain model to provide Byzantine-fault tolerance. We call this variation Randition. We incorporate recent research from blockchain consensus and replicated state machine partitioning to allow Randition users to partition their blockchain for improved write performance at the cost of some Byzantine fault tolerance.
