Abstract

Parallel execution of smart contract transactions in large multicore architectures is critical for higher efficiency and improved throughput. The main bottleneck for maximizing the throughput of a node through parallel execution is transaction conflict resolution: when two transactions interact with the same data, like an account balance, their order matters. Imagine one transaction sends tokens from account A to account B, and another tries to send tokens from account B to account C. If the second transaction happens before the first one, the token balance in account B might be wrong, causing the entire system to break. Conflicts like these must be managed carefully, or you end up with an inconsistent, unusable blockchain state.
