Nezha: Deployable and High-Performance Consensus Using Synchronized Clocks
Summary: Nezha provides tenant-deployable consensus through deadline-ordered multicast, using synchronized software clocks to order messages without programmable-network support. It significantly outperforms Paxos/Raft and other baselines in throughput and latency, and supports efficient KV-store and fair-exchange applications. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
