CUBE Repository
CUBE Repository
The CUBE Repository is a content-index storage system with distinct features:
The CUBE distribution and consensus algorithm allows to distribute a set of content and association items accross a set of computing units, called nodes, in a way that each item is stored on at least a given number of nodes.
In case of node failure or node addition, the algorithm will automatically balance the system to achieve a state, where data items are fairly distributed among nodes.
The distribution achieved by the algorithm builds the foundation for an effcient and fair consensus algorithm that can be used to realize applications that require synchronization. The consensus algorithm can readily be used to build a number of applications:
In contrast to other consensus-systems, which build one consecutive ledger, the CUBE algorithm achieves consensus on one of 2 256 keys at at time and virtually any number of ledgers can be built on it.
