Quarterly updates

  • 2019 Q4 Architecture WG
  • 2019 Q4 Fabric Project
  • 2019 Q4 Sawtooth Project
    • Sawtooth is being rewritten in Rust and they are reporting some performance impact issues. Is this temporary?
      • Yes, the added overhead of doing Python ↔ Rust calls is causing the performance regressions. Eventually everything will be in Rust and performance will improve.
    • How can we foster the reuse of the Sawtooth PBFT implementation in other projects?
      • Consensus is difficult to reuse right now because of how the different platforms link into the smart contracts layer.
