Kudzu: Fast and Simple High-Throughput BFT

Authors: Victor Shoup, Jakub Sliwinski, and Yann Vonlanthen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 356, 39th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2025)


Abstract
We present Kudzu, a high-throughput atomic broadcast protocol with an integrated fast path. Our contribution is based on the combination of two lines of work. Firstly, our protocol achieves finality in just two rounds of communication if all but p out of n = 3f + 2p + 1 participating replicas behave correctly, where f is the number of Byzantine faults that are tolerated. Due to the seamless integration of the fast path, even in the presence of more than p faults, our protocol maintains state-of-the-art characteristics. Secondly, our protocol utilizes the bandwidth of participating replicas in a balanced way, alleviating the bottleneck at the leader, and thus enabling high throughput. This is achieved by disseminating blocks using erasure codes. Despite combining a novel set of advantages, Kudzu is remarkably simple: intricacies such as "progress certificates", complex view changes, and speculative execution are avoided.

Analyzing Trajectory Gaps for Possible Rendezvous: A Summary of Results

Authors: Arun Sharma, Xun Tang, Jayant Gupta, Majid Farhadloo, and Shashi Shekhar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 177, 11th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2021) - Part I (2020)


Abstract
Given trajectory data with gaps, we investigate methods to identify possible rendezvous regions. Societal applications include improving maritime safety and regulations. The challenges come from two aspects. If trajectory data are not available around the rendezvous then either linear or shortest-path interpolation may fail to detect the possible rendezvous. Furthermore, the problem is computationally expensive due to the large number of gaps and associated trajectories. In this paper, we first use the plane sweep algorithm as a baseline. Then we propose a new filtering framework using the concept of a space-time grid. Experimental results and case study on real-world maritime trajectory data show that the proposed approach substantially improves the Area Pruning Efficiency over the baseline technique.
