Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Consensus, it can be understood that consensus is agreed upon. In real life, there are many scenarios that require consensus to be reached, such as: a meeting discussion, two or more parties entering into a collaborative agreement, etc. However, in the blockchain system, the necessary thing each node has to do is to keep its own account consistent with the accounts of other nodes. Because the blockchain system is decentralized, data can not be unified by a central server as in the conventional software structure. The blockchain system is a distributed peer-to-peer network structure, in which no node is a control node, and a set of consensus algorithm needs to be established in order to make each node keep respective data consistent through a rule.

The consensus algorithm is essentially a rule according to which each node validates its data. For example, suppose a group of people meet, no leader or decision maker exists in the group, and everyone publishes own opinions, in order to finally determine a unified rule, in the actual processing, one person can be selected in a certain time period, and is responsible for summarizing the contents of everyone, and then publishes the complete opinions, and the others vote, and everyone has a chance to summarize and publish, and finally, most supporters of whom use his opinions as final opinions, which is the concept of consensus algorithm. However, in the actual implementation, if the number of people is not large and the number is determined, the method is feasible, and if the number of people is too large and the number is not fixed, the voting decision in the method is difficult to be inefficient. In order to determine the most representative person, a representative node is screened in the consensus algorithm, and the data given by the representative node is the finally agreed data which needs to be maintained by other nodes, so that the consensus among the chain link points of each block is achieved.

At present, common consensus algorithms mainly include PoW, PoA and RAFT, and the following three consensus algorithms are specifically described as follows:

1) the PoW (Proof of Work) consensus algorithm, a PoW mechanism is used in the generation process of the bit currency, a Block Hash value (Block Hash) meeting the requirement is composed of N leading zeros, and the number of the zeros depends on the difficulty value of the network. If a reasonable block hash value is to be obtained, multiple trial calculations are required. The time to compute the chunk hash value depends on the hash operation speed of the machine. When a node calculates a reasonable block hash value, it indicates that the node does perform a large number of trial calculations, and certainly, the absolute value of the number of trial calculations cannot be calculated, because finding a reasonable hash value is a probabilistic event.

2) The PoA (Proof of Authority) consensus algorithm relies on preset Authority nodes (signers) to generate blocks. In the implementation, a new authorized node may be elected by an authorized node, for example, if the vote exceeds 50%, the new authorized node may be added. Even if a malicious authorized node exists, the authorized node can only attack 1 of the consecutive blocks ((SIGNER _ COUNT/2) +1), during which the malicious authorized node can be voted out by other authorized nodes. In the PoA mechanism, the time at which a block is generated can be specified.

3) The RAFT consensus algorithm is that if the initial states of a plurality of databases are consistent, the subsequent data can be ensured to be consistent as long as the subsequent operations are consistent. RAFT uses Log for synchronization and separates servers into three roles: leader, Follower, Candidate, three roles can be switched with each other. RAFT can be divided into two processes from a large perspective: electing a Leader, and generating a Log by the Leader and carrying out header synchronization with a Follower.

However, the above calculation operation based on the PoW consensus algorithm results in a lot of resource waste, network performance is too low, multiple acknowledgments need to be waited, forking is easy to occur, and the period for achieving the block acknowledgement consensus is long. The authorization process of the PoA consensus algorithm is complex, and TPS (computational systems protocol) operation performed by the authorization nodes in turn is low. The RAFT consensus algorithm has a complex election process, no process proved by calculation is available, and Leader efficiency is low.

In view of the problem of low TPS in the above consensus algorithm, in this example, a block chain system is provided, as shown in fig. 1, which may include: a plurality of compute nodes (compute node 1, compute node 2 … compute node N). Data interaction among the multiple computing nodes can be carried out through a P2P communication mechanism.

The computing nodes with the strongest computing capability in the blockchain system are the nodes with the computing capability in the blockchain system, and the efficiency is highest when the computing nodes with the strongest computing capability in the blockchain perform single-machine computing operation, so that in order to ensure that the blockchain system has higher TPS, each computing node in the blockchain system reports or calculates the respective computing capability, a computing capability ranking is maintained among the nodes, the computing nodes with the strongest computing capability in a plurality of computing nodes can be known through the ranking, and thus, under the condition of receiving computing operation requests, the computing nodes with the strongest computing capability are preferentially used for performing computing operation, and the blockchain system is ensured to have the highest TPS.

It is contemplated that the computational power of a node may be determined at the time of startup of the node. In a specific implementation, the node may report its own computing capability by itself, for example, the capability of the node may be determined by calculating the Hash times completed in the same time. If the computing power reported by the node itself is not trusted, the capability certification can be performed in a black box manner, for example, the computing power can be calculated through a segment of black box code to determine whether the computing power reported by the node is correct, and the computing power calculated by the black box can be encrypted through a private key.

For nodes added into the block chain, the calculation capacity needs to be determined, and after the calculation capacity of each node in the block chain is determined, the calculation capacity of each node can be sequenced to obtain a calculation capacity ranking list. Suppose there are five nodes, which are: node 1, node 2, node 3, node 4, and node 5. The results of the computational power ranking are: the first node 5, the second node 2, the third node 1, the fourth node 3 and the fifth node 4.

Then the computing power of node 5 is strongest as can be seen from this ranking result. Considering that the TPS is the largest when the stand-alone computing operation is performed, in order to obtain the largest TPS, the computing node with the highest computing capability may be selected to perform the stand-alone computing operation, so that the largest TPS may be obtained.

When a computing operation requirement exists or a transaction computing requirement is generated, the computing capacity ranking can be called, then, the computing node with the first computing capacity is selected to perform computing operation preferentially, and when the computing node with the first computing capacity finds itself to be the node with the first computing capacity, the computing operation is started immediately.

If the block update exists in the blockchain system, a new block is generated, the capability ranking and the preset time can be recalculated, the timing is stopped, the next transaction is determined to be processed by which computing node through the new computing capability ranking, namely, the next transaction is processed by the node with the strongest computing capability, and the ranked node continues to wait.

Because the nodes are ranked according to the computing power of the computing nodes, the nodes with stronger computing power are ranked more front, and the nodes with weaker computing power are ranked more back.

In order to avoid the failure of the node with the strongest capacity in the operation process, the node with the second capacity can be used as a standby node, each ranked node maintains a timer, the time length of the timer of the node with the second capacity is one waiting period, the time length of the timer of the node with the third capacity is two waiting periods, the time length of the timer of the node with the fourth capacity is three waiting periods, and the like. When the first node fails or exits, the timer of each node starts running, the timer of the second node ends first, and then the second node starts to perform calculation operation.

That is, the node with the strongest capability in the block chain is guaranteed to perform single-machine calculation operation through capability certification, other nodes are only verified, and meanwhile, the problem of single-point failure can be avoided through a capability ranking and timer waiting mechanism, and when the strongest node exits or a stronger node enters a network, the current node with the strongest network capability can be automatically adjusted to serve as a calculation node.

By the method, the node with the strongest computing capability can be kept in computing operation all the time, and the computing operation can be performed by the computing node with the second computing capability under the condition that the node with the strongest computing capability has a fault, so that the problem of single machine fault can be avoided under the condition that the highest TPS is ensured.

The above-mentioned ranked list of computing power of each node may be maintained at each node, and in particular, may be maintained between each computing node through a P2P communication mechanism.

As described below with reference to a specific scenario, as shown in fig. 2, it is assumed that there are three authorized nodes in the blockchain system, which are: node a, node B and node C. Each node performs a computation of its own computation capability when it joins the blockchain system, or it actively provides its own computation capability, assuming that the computation capability of node a is 2000, the computation capability of node B is 1000, and the computation capability of node C is 500.

Then a capability ranking table as shown in fig. 2 may be maintained among node a, node B, and node C, i.e., node a ranked first, node B ranked second, and node C ranked third. The capability ranking table can be maintained by P2P communication mechanism among several nodes, and the table is automatically updated once in case of adding new node or exiting node.

When a calculation request is received, a node with the strongest calculation capability, namely a node with the first rank, can be determined according to the capability ranking table, then the calculation request is processed through the node with the first rank to perform calculation operation, a new block is generated, the block is added into the block chain system, the capability ranking table is automatically refreshed under the condition that the node in the block chain system receives the new block, and the node with the first rank processes the new calculation request.

Further, it is considered that if a single node performs a computing operation, the node fails or exits, which results in that the current computing request cannot be completed. In order to avoid the single-machine failure, timers may be set for the respective computing nodes in the order in the capability ranking table, and the timing time corresponding to the computing node that is ranked further back is longer, for example, the timing time of the node B is 60s, and the timing time of the node C is 120 s. As shown in fig. 3, when node a exits or fails, a timer is started, node B performs a calculation operation when it reaches 60s, and if node B does not perform the calculation operation yet by 120s, it indicates that node B fails, at this time, node C starts the calculation operation, so as to ensure that the current calculation request can be executed, and preferentially selects the calculation node with the highest current calculation capability to perform the calculation operation, so as to ensure that TPS is the highest.

Assuming that the node B starts the calculation operation within 60s, after the calculation operation is completed, the node B generates new block data to be added to the block chain, and the node C can also receive the block data, so that the node B is known to finish the calculation. A new computing power ranking may be triggered because node a has exited, as shown in fig. 2, with no node a in the new computing power ranking, and if no new computing node has joined, then node B is the current strongest computing power node through which the next computing operation is performed.

That is, upon receiving new tile data, the statistical ranking and timing time are refreshed, when node B and node C receive the tile data calculated by node a, the timer is stopped and a new capability ranking is maintained through the P2P communication mechanism, and if a new transaction arrives at that time, the next round of waiting is started. When the strongest node exits, other nodes start to perform calculation operation after the timer is waited for, thereby avoiding the problem of single machine failure. For example, after the node a exits, the node B first stops waiting and starts to perform the calculation operation, and this mechanism can ensure that when the capacity is first offline, the capacity is second and the calculation operation is performed preferentially, thereby ensuring that the first online capacity can perform data calculation on the stand-alone. After block data calculated by the node B is received, the statistical ranking and the delay time are refreshed in the same way, the node A is found to exit at the moment, the node B becomes the strongest calculating node in the network, and the subsequent node B immediately starts calculating operation. When a node with stronger computing power is added, the node with stronger computing power can start computing operation preferentially according to the refreshed statistical ranking.

The computing nodes can adopt a alliance chain mode, namely, only aiming at members of a specific group and limited third parties, a plurality of preselected nodes are internally designated as bookkeepers, and the generation of each block data is jointly determined by all the preselected nodes. On the basis of the alliance chain, the node with the strongest capacity processes the calculation request to generate block data, and then other nodes only exist as verification nodes.

As shown in fig. 4, the data processing method may be applied to an online purchase scenario of prescription drugs, in a case that a patient purchases the prescription drugs in an online mall, the online mall may upload a request of the user to a corresponding internet hospital, a doctor docked in the internet hospital may prescribe a prescription for the user, the prescribed prescription may be stored in a block chain system in an uplink manner and synchronized to all block chain nodes, the prescription information is received by the pharmacy block chain nodes, the pharmacy transfers the prescription information to a pharmacist block chain node, the pharmacist performs audit on the prescription information, the audit result is stored in the block chain system in the uplink manner and synchronized to all block chain nodes, after the audit is passed, the user is ordered according to the prescription, after the order is ordered, the mall block chain node performs an approval process on the prescription, and the approval information is stored in the block chain system in the uplink manner, and synchronized to all blockchain nodes.

In the processes of the prescription uplink storage in the block chain system, the audit result uplink storage in the block chain system, and the audit result uplink storage in the block chain system, the data processing method can be used for performing data calculation through the strongest computing capability node to realize the uplink storage of data.

In the above example, the above processing method is exemplified to be applied to an online purchase scenario of prescription drugs, and when the method is actually implemented, the method may also be applied to other medical health scenarios, for example, a diagnostic data processing may be applied, and then the data that needs to be linked up is diagnostic data, and the diagnostic data may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: electronic examination report, medical history recorded by doctor, blood test result. It can also be applied in the surgical data processing, and the data needing to be linked up is surgical data, and the surgical data can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: pre-operative diagnostic data, pre-operative surgical preparation data, surgical procedure data, surgical medication data, and surgical outcome data. It may also be applied in hospitalization data processing, which may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: personal profiles of the user, care data during the hospital stay, cost data during the hospital stay. It can also be applied in the drug data processing, where the data to be linked is the drug selling data, and the drug selling data can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: drug inventory, drug selling amount, drug stocking and selling party information and drug selling party information.

However, it should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation scenario is only an exemplary description, and in practical implementation, all scenarios that need to perform data uplink processing may be processed by using the data processing method provided in this example, and the application does not limit the specific implementation scenario.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a method of one embodiment of a data processing method described herein. Although the present application provides method operational steps or apparatus configurations as illustrated in the following examples or figures, more or fewer operational steps or modular units may be included in the methods or apparatus based on conventional or non-inventive efforts. In the case of steps or structures which do not logically have the necessary cause and effect relationship, the execution sequence of the steps or the module structure of the apparatus is not limited to the execution sequence or the module structure described in the embodiments and shown in the drawings of the present application. When the described method or module structure is applied in an actual device or end product, the method or module structure according to the embodiments or shown in the drawings can be executed sequentially or executed in parallel (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-thread processing environment, or even in a distributed processing environment).

As shown in fig. 5, the data processing method may include the steps of:

step 501: receiving a calculation request;

the calculation request may be a data processing request, or may be a transaction data, and the data form or data form is not limited in this application.

Step 502: responding to the calculation request, and taking the node with the strongest calculation capability in the block chain system as a target node to perform single-machine calculation operation to obtain a processing result;

in order to accurately and efficiently determine whether the node is the node with the strongest capability, a calculation capability ordering table can be maintained among the nodes, so that each node can know whether the node is the node with the strongest calculation capability through the ordering table, and whether the node needs to perform calculation operation or not can be quickly determined when a calculation request is received.

That is, the node with the strongest computing capability in the blockchain system as the target node to perform the stand-alone computing operation may include: a target node calls a pre-established calculation capacity ranking table, wherein the calculation capacity ranking table records the calculation capacity ranking of each node in the block chain system; and the target node determines the node with the first calculation capacity rank according to the calculation capacity ranking table, so that the single-computer calculation operation is immediately carried out.

Step 503: the target node stores the processing result as block data in a database of the blockchain system.

After the calculation is finished and the processing result is obtained, if the processing result can be used as Block data (i.e., Block), the target node may write the Block into the blockchain system, i.e., perform a chaining operation, and store the processing result as the Block data in a database of the blockchain system. This write operation is perceptible to each node in the blockchain system.

Considering that the number of nodes varies for the blockchain system, in order to ensure that each time a node with computing power is selected, after the target node writes a block into the blockchain system, the target node may trigger to reorder the computing power of each node in the blockchain system to generate an updated computing power ordered table, so that if there is an exiting node or a newly added node, the node may enter the computing power ordered table to participate in the computing operation.

Specifically, each node in the blockchain system may maintain the ordered list of computing capabilities through the P2P communication mechanism.

In an actual computing operation, because the above is a stand-alone computing operation, if the target node exits or fails in the process of processing the computing request, the computing operation cannot be completed smoothly. Therefore, the computing node with the computing capability next to the target node in the system can be controlled to perform computing operation, namely, whether the target node fails or not can be determined in the process of performing single-machine computing operation by taking the node with the strongest computing capability in the block chain system as the target node; and in the case of failure of the target node, the node with the second highest computing capability in the block chain system performs stand-alone computing operation.

In order to enable the nodes to be switched in order to perform calculation operations, the node with the second highest calculation capability in the blockchain system performs a stand-alone calculation operation, and the method can include the following steps: starting timers respectively arranged for all nodes in the block chain under the condition that a target node has a fault, wherein the time length of the node timer with stronger computing power is shorter; and taking the node with the first timing end of the timer as the node with the second highest computing capability to perform the stand-alone computing operation.

In the actual implementation process, before responding to the calculation request and performing a stand-alone calculation operation by using a node with the strongest calculation capability in the block chain system as a target node to obtain block data, the calculation capability value reported by each node in the block chain system when starting can be received, wherein the calculation capability value is determined by the number of hash calculations completed by each node within the same time; and sequencing the computing power of each node according to the computing power value reported by each node.

Although embodiments of the present description provide method steps as described in embodiments or flowcharts, more or fewer steps may be included based on conventional or non-inventive means. The order of steps recited in the embodiments is merely one manner of performing the steps in a multitude of orders and does not represent the only order of execution. When an actual apparatus or end product executes, it may execute sequentially or in parallel (e.g., parallel processors or multi-threaded environments, or even distributed data processing environments) according to the method shown in the embodiment or the figures. The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, the presence of additional identical or equivalent elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the recited elements is not excluded.

For convenience of description, the above devices are described as being divided into various modules by functions, and are described separately. Of course, in implementing the embodiments of the present description, the functions of each module may be implemented in one or more software and/or hardware, or a module implementing the same function may be implemented by a combination of multiple sub-modules or sub-units, and the like. The above-described embodiments of the apparatus are merely illustrative, and for example, the division of the units is only one logical division, and other divisions may be realized in practice, for example, a plurality of units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be omitted, or not executed. In addition, the shown or discussed mutual coupling or direct coupling or communication connection may be an indirect coupling or communication connection through some interfaces, devices or units, and may be in an electrical, mechanical or other form.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may therefore be considered as a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.
