Parallel Execution and v0.13.2

Share this post:


Join us for a deep dive into blockchain parallel execution with experts from StarkWare and Aptos. In this session, we explore the intricacies of parallel execution engines, focusing on Block STM, a parallel execution model used in blockchain systems.

Participants include Roti Gash and Sasha Spigelman from Aptos, co-authors of the Block STM paper, and Illia and Noa from StarkWare, who led the implementation of a variant of Block STM for Starknet v0.13.2.

This Twitter space focuses entirely on parallel execution, specifically the BlockSTM algorithm. The discussion touches on static/dynamic concurrency, production system configurations, the significance of starting with an ordered list of transactions, overhead/worst-case performance, and some differences between theory and practice.
