Blockchain is not an experimental tech anymore, it's global infrastructure. As the cryptos move more and more into financial ...

At the core of these systems lie distributed algorithms, which not only coordinate resource management and data replication but also enable consensus, fault tolerance and dynamic scalability.

To add a block to a blockchain, the nodes on the chain must come to a consensus that the block is OK to add (see Figure 1 below). That consensus can be achieved in various ways. The given blockchain ...

Obelisk is the proprietary blockchain consensus algorithm of the Skycoin ecosystem. Obelisk attempts to address the issues with consensus mechanisms by distributing influence over a network ...

Exadata Exascale uses a multitenant resource pool, hardware-based remote direct memory access and predictive preprocessing to ...

It is a distributed consensus algorithm at a large scale that can accommodate a large percentage of bad actors. We won’t go into detail (perhaps an article for another time).

Jackson Palmer, who created the scrypt algorithm-based, proof-of-work altcoin dogecoin, is not overly positive on the prospect of mining overall, particularly in regards to the energy consumption ...

Hashgraph supports superior Distributed Ledger technology, which can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. Read Hashgraph vs Blockchain discussion.

Computer scientists have developed an algorithm that improves the speed at which nodes within a multi-agent system converge on consensus without compromising energy consumption, a development with ...
