Do you want to learn more about Ethereum sharding and how this technology can help more transactions per second?

In this meetup, we will have the opportunity to spend time with Leonardo Bautista-Gomez, who will introduce us to the Ethereum Sharding Simulator project from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. This project, granted by the Ethereum Foundation, wants to develop an open-source discrete-event blockchain simulator where different protocols/techniques, such as sharding, could be simulated and studied with synthetic traces.

This simulator opens the door to study sharding and a lot of scenarios involving security, scaling, performance, impact, data availability and much more.

Join us to know more about Leonardo developments with the project and ask him personally your questions!

Who is Leonardo Bautista Gomez?
Leonardo Bautista-Gomez is a Senior Researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center where he leads the European Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship MSC-IF project on Deep-memory Ubiquity, Resilience and Optimization (DURO). He was awarded the 2016 IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing (Early Career Researcher). Now he is involved in the Blockchain Sharding Simulations project granted by the Ethereum Foundation. This project consists of an open-source discrete-event blockchain simulator where different protocols/techniques, such as sharding, could be simulated and studied with synthetic traces.
