Technical roundtable for Antelope Node Operators

The Antelope core developers from the EOS Network Foundation took over the node operators call to provide an overview of the exciting features of v4.0.0 along with some demonstrations. Thank you Kevin, Lin, Peter, and Vlad for stopping by!

Thanks to Brian for leading the discussion and providing these notes.

Notes:

• EOS has always excelled at performance, scalability, and reliability
• v4.0.0 reinforces the dominance of Antelope-based chains like EOS
• Themes of v4.0.0
  • Features to provide even higher performance with multi-threading features
  • Features to reduce latency and enable faster block propagation
  • Features to provide more data control and visibility
  • Quality of life improvements for node operators
• Some exciting takeaways
  • Get block is 4x faster and no longer on the main thread
  • JSON parsing throughout nodeos is about 2x faster
  • Multi-threaded read-only windows let API providers use as many threads are available on a machine for handling read requests.

Demo:

• Higher Performance
  • Performance Harness (Peter)
  • Read-only transactions (Lin)
  • Parallelized read-only transaction and task execution (Kevin)
  • Multi-threading & thread safety (Kevin)
  • Optimizations to http_plugin (Kevin)
  • Subjective cpu improvements (Kevin)
• Reduced Latency
  • Auto-peering with schedule proximal BP nodes (Kevin)
  • Lighter validation for relays (Kevin)
• Data control & visibility
  • Prometheus exporter (Kevin)
  • Log splitting for blocks & ship (Kevin)
• Quality of life
  • Resource monitor absolute value setting (Kevin)
  • Better logging throughout nodeos plugins (Kevin)
  • Snapshot Scheduling (Vlad)
  • leap-util option enhancements (Vlad)

Next week's topic:

• We'll continue the discussion on special purpose nodes on April 12.
