• Abstract: Determining the optimal block size is crucial for achieving high throughput in blockchain systems. Many studies have focused on tuning various components, such as databases, network bandwidth, and consensus mechanisms. However, the impact of block size on system performance remains a topic of debate, often resulting in divergent views and even leading to new forks in blockchain networks. This research proposes a mathematical model to maximize performance by determining the ideal block size for Hyperledger Fabric, a prominent consortium blockchain. By leveraging machine learning and solving the model with a genetic algorithm, the proposed approach assesses how factors such as block size, transaction size, and network capacity influence the block processing time. The integration of an optimization solver enables precise adjustments to block size configuration before deployment, ensuring improved performance from the outset. This systematic approach aims to balance block processing efficiency, network latency, and system throughput, offering a robust solution to improve blockchain performance across diverse business contexts.

  Block attention can improve KV cache reuse in long-context scenarios such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)<n>However, its broader application is hindered by two key challenges: the difficulty of segmenting input text into meaningful, self-contained blocks, and the inefficiency of existing block fine-tuning methods that risk degrading performance.<n>We propose block distillation, a training framework that is more efficient than block fine-tuning, which uses a frozen full-attention teacher model to guide the block-attention student.
