Abstract

A Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed computing system of nodes configured to process client requests, executes a leader-based total order broadcast (LBTOB) protocol. The computing system concurrently executes multiple instances of the LBTOB protocol at the nodes, on respective disjoint partitions of the client requests, and the disjoint partitions are assigned to the instances using a deterministic function of a state of the system. The computing system multiplexes outputs of the executing instances in an ordered log of the client requests, and the ordered log is maintained at each of the nodes.
