Researchers Boost EVM Throughput by 78 Percent Via Smaller Data Layers

Qi Zhou's study evaluates three BAL designs: full BAL (~13.9 GGas/s), batched I/O BAL (~10.6 GGas/s), and parallel I/O BAL (~10.8 GGas/s). Parallel I/O BAL achieves 78% of full BAL throughput with only 33% of its size. This design offers a practical trade-off between execution throughput and BAL size overhead, crucial for Ethereum's scaling roadmap.
