Pipelined processing is a method of executing multiple operations concurrently by breaking them into sequential stages. In computing and blockchain contexts, this technique allows different stages of a process, such as transaction verification or block propagation, to operate simultaneously on different data sets. As one stage completes its task on a given input, it passes the result to the next stage and immediately begins processing a new input. This parallel execution significantly enhances throughput and reduces overall latency, improving system efficiency.
Context
The application of pipelined processing is a critical area of innovation for scaling blockchain networks and improving transaction speeds, especially in layer-2 solutions and sharding architectures. News regarding advancements in blockchain scalability often references improvements in processing efficiency through such techniques. Optimizing these execution flows is essential for supporting a greater volume of decentralized applications and user activity without compromising network security.
A novel asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant protocol, Orion, uses verifiable delay functions for leader election and pipelined processing to achieve optimal resilience and high throughput.
