  • USING MULTIPLE BLOCKCHAINS FOR APPLYING TRANSACTIONS TO A SET OF PERSISTENT DATA OBJECTS IN PERSISTENT STORAGE SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20240143386
    Abstract: A ledgered repository of persistent data objects is replicated on a network of persistent storage systems (PSSs) by transactions recorded across multiple blockchains. The blockchains are replicated on each of the PSSs. Using multiple blockchains enables greater parallelism; however, use of the multiple blockchains requires using measures that ensure that transactions distributed across multiple blockchains are applied in way that ensures a level of transactional consistency. Furthermore, the measures are efficient, thereby reducing overhead of maintaining a level of transactional consistency and increasing throughput of applying the transactions using multiple blockchains.
