Today I met with the team to discuss the challenges of making smart contracts both easy to develop and easy to execute in parallel. If you are familiar with the challenges associated with parallel execution then you know the general rule that all data must be owned by a single thread. In terms of blockchains, that means all accounts need to own their data. Owning data means that no other thread of execution may read or write the data except by asynchronous message passing.
The Current Balance Problem
Suppose you want to read the current balance of another contract, something that seems like it should be trivial. If the balance is “owned” by another account, say the currency contract, then your contract cannot “read it”. You could attempt to query it by asynchronous communication, but that would be liking sending your bank a letter asking for a balance update and waiting for a response in the mail. By the time you get the response (if you get a response), the balance may already be out of date.
Fortunately, EOS makes it easy for one account to monitor all deposits and withdraws. In this case the reader contract would maintain its own logic duplicating the balance calculation and storage of the currency contract. This approach is also error prone because any small difference in behavior could result in your balance calculation differing from the currency contract.
Another alternative is to use an oracle that will notify your contract of the balance while simultaneously delivering a message to the currency contract. The currency contract will reject the transaction if the oracle lied, therefore, your contact can trust the balance reported. Once again this only lets you know the balance for the split second your transaction is applied and creates a new problem that your transaction can be invalidated if other user actions are modifying your balance at the same instance.
The underlying challenge here is that the balance data is owned by a different thread and therefore it cannot be reliably read and used when needed.
Redefining the Problem
Under the above model, all data is owned by a single account and its code. This makes each account like its own blockchain and communication among accounts tricky. Fortunately, GPU developers have used another parallelization strategy: SMID - single instruction multiple data. Stated more generally, a GPU executes the exact same code over many independent instances of the data. Every pixel and/or vertex is modified by the same set of instructions.
Imagine for a moment that every account balance was represented as pixel in an image. Imagine that a smart contract was defined like a shader. A pixel shader can only write to a single pixel, but it can read from any number of other read-only sources.
Under this model a currency contract is not defined as code that operates on a mapping of account name to balance, but instead as code that operates on a single balance belonging to a single account. The currency contract would not be able to read other accounts balances, but it would know with certainty that all accounts were running the same code.
What would such a contract look like?
void apply_simplecoin_transfer() {
static Transfer message;
static uint64_t balance = 0;
load( thisContract(), “balance”, balance );
readMessage( message );
requireNotify( {message.from, message.to} );
if( thisAccount() == message.to ) {
balance += message.amount;
} else if ( thisAccount() == message.from ) {
assert( message.amount < balance, "insufficient funds" )
balance -= message.amount;
}
if( balance ) store( “balance”, balance );
else remove( “balance”, balance );
}
Notice there are a few subtle differences:
- The apply method only modifies a single balance
- The behavior of the contract depends upon the value of thisAccount()
- The load() method takes an extra parameter specifying the current contract
- The store() and remove() methods always use the “balance” key rather than an account key.
If we assume all accounts run this exact same code on their private data, we can still guarantee that there are no double spends. This is possible because every account requires both the sender and receiver to be notified of the message or the message will be rejected (both parties can be notified in parallel).
The receiver knows that the sender must have sufficient funds or the receiver will reject the message; therefore, the receiver can safely increment its own balance. Likewise, the sender knows the receiver will increment his balance so he decrements his own.
What does this give us?
Well now that we have this design pattern we have separated “code” from “data” in terms of parallelization. A single account can now run code provided by other accounts and the code provided by other accounts can now read all data belonging to an account.
Suppose you wanted to build a social media platform where vote weight is proportional to current balance. This is something that requires the social media account to have the ability to read your balance and modify someone else’s post vote totals. In the ideal world it would be nice for @alice to vote for @bob while @sam is voting for @bill. This could be achieved as follows:
void apply_social_vote() {
readMessage( vote );
if( vote.for == thisContract() ) {
load( thisContract(), vote.postid, post );
post.totalvotes += vote.weight;
store( vote.postid, post );
}
if( vote.voter == thisAccount() ) {
static uint64_t balance = 0;
load( "simplecoin", "balance", balance );
assert( balance >= vote.weight, “insufficient balance for vote weight” );
}
}
In this case the contract code does two different things depending upon which data it is operating on. If it is operating on the receiver of the vote, then it increments the total votes. If it is operating on the sender, then it simply verifies the vote.weight <= the balance.
It should be noted that the vote receiver is still unable to read the vote giver’s balance. However, in this model two votes can be processed by 4 different accounts in parallel and it will work so long as the voter reports a vote weight that is accurate.
While it may not be possible to read someone else’s balance while modifying your state, it is possible to read your own balance from the “simplecoin” contract from within the “social” contract.
What is everything so complicated?
As programmers we would love to read whatever we want, whenever we want, and let the computer figure things out. The naive approach is to simply put locks around data. If two people “happen” to read the data at the same time, then one will wait for the other. Unfortunately for blockchain developers, the outcome of these race conditions is not deterministic and therefore could break consensus.
A New Hope
There is a way to allow one account to read another account’s balance; the transaction can declare that it requires read access. The blockchain’s transaction scheduler can then ensure that no one that requires write access will execute code at the same time. Using the old approach to simplecoin (one contract owning all the data), this would create a lot of congestion around that contract as everyone needing to read would be blocking those who want to write and everyone would be bottlenecked by a single contract.
However, using the new approach to simplecoin, the probability that two transactions need to access the same account data at the same time is much lower. This will reduce lock contention and maximize throughput.
Conclusion
Parallelism is hard, especially when you need things to be deterministic while accessing shared data. Fortunately, there are solutions available and design patterns proven by those who design GPUs and computer graphics algorithms.

I look at it as hedging my bets. I love Ethereum and am heavily invested in it, but EOS shows a lot of promise and could solve some of Ethereum's thornier issues. However Ethereum has first mover advantage much like Bitcoin does. I have no idea which smart contracts platform will ultimately win out in the end. So I'm buying both. And I also bought into the Tezos ICO. I think there's a very good chance all 3 investments will be highly profitable. Why own one slice of the smart contract pie when you can stick your fingers in multiple pieces?

It's all depending on your tolerance for risk. For me I just can't handle it. I bought into EOS and there's been so many swings, I can't sleep at night. I don't have much cash right now, so it makes me pretty nervous when I have 30 grand out there. I tried day trading when I should have just held onto it and missed out huge. Sold a bunch at 6 then bought a little bit back at 6 thinking it was on its way up again and it plummeted the last day and a half. Only time will tell.

I have a pretty high tolerance for risk as I try to look at EOS with a long-term perspective. The real value won't come for at least a year anyway after the actual EOS blockchain launches. What we have right now is 100% speculation, pure & simple. 30 grand is a lot; if you're down now, I would just forget about it for a while and check back in a few months to see how things are going.
I screwed up round 0 pretty bad. Bought a ton then sold most of it when trading first started, happy with a roughly 1.5x return and thinking the price would immediately crash. Instead it went up 6x and I was just kicking myself for not holding. Now I've looking to re-buy if we go lower down, or maybe start cost averaging my way back in if we stay at this level for a while.

Sorry to hear that. I wish I just bought some than left for a few days. Sadly my ocd wont let me just forget about it. I am always buying and selling. Have most of my money sitting in ether right now. Bought about 2000 units of eos at around $2.55 a unit. I guess it is a small enough sum where I can just forget about it for 6 months. The challenge is, if it takes the same path that steem did, it will be a long time before it goes back up to $6. Steem has never made its way back up to $3 and its been a year or more.Nevertheless, seeing that a lot of people probably ended up paying $6 plus for their eos, I am pretty sure those people will be holding for the long term

What would be a good rebuy point? You would think anyone actually still left holding bags of eos paid over $3 so anyone that is still in it has no incentive to sell
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Now is actually a pretty good rebuy point as it seems to be building a base at this level. I bought back 1000 EOS yesterday when the price briefly dipped below 0.01 ETH/EOS, and will buy more if it continues to hover around the current price.
That's looking like a pretty smart entry point as long as you're willing to let it sit and not looking for a quick flip. If it does go down further from here, then I'll be looking to make a series of small buys, cost averaging my way in and lowering my overall cost basis until we hit bottom. If the price hits the round 0 ICO price or below, I'll pile in with 20 or 30 more ETH.
In the long term, my target is to accumulate 10,000 EOS by the end of the year long ICO. For something like this where it's really hard to predict price swings, I think cost averaging is King. That's basically how I accumulated all my Steem Power, with lots of small buys while the Steem price was falling. And now Steem has turned into my 2nd best investment ever after Ethereum. Happily, the EOS ICO structure is a wet dream for anyone wanting to cost average, as you can just spread your ETH out over time, fire & forget and not worry about the emotional component of trading on the market. So participating in the ICO rounds with small amounts + timed larger buys on the market when price dips = potential winning strategy.

Awesome that's what I plan to do . I started with about 10,000 EOS, sadly now I am only down to 2000 and am sitting on a bunch of ETH I bought at a high point - about $256 per unit. I never got the chance to buy in lower because it took me 2 months to get trading at a large volume amount. Nevertheless thanks for the advice. I will be holding for the year and hopefully this will turn into another ether. I just have to stop looking at the prices on a daily basis and maybe only look once a week lol.

Amazing you are looking at this from this perspective! Really looking forward. Parallelism efficiency (then performance) is the key problem here. But we also don't want to restrict too much and allow diversity of code execution. The ability to use atomic actions by the blockchain would allow this "efficiency" to scale better. Then it's just matter of aligning the current hardware to the software. And that can be done at driver level by manufactures (or in partnership model, like NVIDIA mostly does).

How can a little girl defeat the genius human icon that Albert Einstein has been holding? What an unbelievable but real story. Nicole Barr, a 12-year-old from Essex, scored an IQ of 162 on a Mensa IQ test. The score is two points higher than Einstein and the addition of this boy also exceeded the score of genius physicist, Stephen Hawking.
Someone is said to be a genius if he gets an IQ test score above 140. So that means Nicole is really a genius. Her's father, Jim Barr took Nicole to take the test with a premonition that his daughter would be accepted at Mensa.
"I hope she can do well. I know she has the speed of mind in solving problems and puzzles. I do not want to press her so we consider this for fun. I had the thought that she would go to Mensa but when I saw the result I thought 'Wow! This is really a high score! '. Until finally I realized that it was the highest score in the test, " said Jim.
Launched from Mashable, a spokesman for Mensa said IQ Nicole took him to the first level of the population. Only children can get more than 161 IQ because it is the maximum IQ for adults. The test Nicole followed was a test for a small child. Even so, @dan
IQ score 162 is rarely found. Nicole herself has an ideals in the field of drama performances. She even practiced in her spare time. But she also has other ideals that step into the medical realm as a pediatrician. Wow so cool 12-year-old child can defeat Einstein. Do you still remember your IQ score?

Hi Dan, I'm not that knowledgable about blockchain processing, but I'm wondering if anything can be learned by studying the way Visa and Mastercard handle the enormous number of transactions they process. These transactions are many magnitudes higher than what we currently see on crypto blockchains. Is there something that could be incorporated from their methods and techniques?

EOS is being designed to process as many transactions as Visa and Mastercard - that is one of EOS's USP's.

Great post. This Eos contract also can reduce a lot of work pressure from block chain miners who have to execute Hashes to confirm transactions.
New EOS Contract would give liberty and better data storage optimisation at both sender and receiver's end.

Many software/app developers are still naive in blockchain development let alone the very nature of blockchain . I must admit, I am one of the developers who are still a bit confused by the whole concept. Hence, another baffling Cryptocurrency comes along....good thing there are people like you who are willing to share an in depth perspective about it. Cheers!

I am a noob on this subject and I have read that Ethereum provides a platform for developers but I am not sure how easy it is to develop in such platform. Now with EOS are we trying to achieve ease of development and parallel processing in simple words? I am saying this as one might think, why develop another platform if there is already one, right?
Do you know any sources I can start reading to start embarking on understanding the development of application under a blockchain? I heard to start with asynchronous cryptology and distribution systems.

The eos programming is planned to be utilized by outsider engineers as design to construct their own particular blockchain stages on. The innovation concentrates on addressing the requirements of DApps to pick up a far reaching utilize: the eos programming should empower scaling to a great many exchanges for every second dispensing with client charges and empower dApps' fast and simple sending.

Remember BeOS (and now Haiku? Both are entirely in C++.
I've read a lot on parallel processing from those days. So it's funny to meet all this again here on Steemit. Too bad they are not so well known, they were so ahead of their time. And what a time it was!
