Abstract
Embodiments herein describe a hardware accelerator for a blockchain node. The hardware accelerator is used to perform a validation operation to validate one or more transactions before those transactions are committed to a ledger of a blockchain. The embodiments herein describe an out-of-order validation scheme where a collector is used to collect validated transactions out of order. Thus, if a validation pipeline has finished validating a later transaction before another validation pipeline has finished validating an earlier transaction, the pipeline can nonetheless send its results to the collector and retrieve another transaction from a scheduler. In this manner, the downtime for the validation pipelines is reduced or eliminated.
