About this paper

Jiaying Feng, Linpeng Jia, Yi Sun

RegionFence parallelizes consensus-ordered smart-contract execution while preserving serial results. It predicts conflicts and pauses readers at hot-key fences, allowing independent work to continue until an earlier writer makes its last write. Across nine Ethereum mainnet traces, it achieves 9.2× speedup over its own single-core execution at 64 cores, but OCC outperforms it on high-skew synthetic ERC-20 workloads at θ = 0.99.
