Venom to Spearhead Unprecedented Blockchain Use Case in the Philippines
π΅π Today is a monumental day for the Venom network. We are thrilled to announce that the Republic of Philippines has chosen to use Venom in its country-wide digitization campaign.
What this means
The Philippines prints over 10 billion accountable forms annually. Using Venom technology, the country will be able to digitize these forms, increasing efficiency, introducing a new level of financial transparency and stimulating economic growth.
π For Venom, this massive boost to network activity could take the blockchain to a new level and establish it as one of the premier blockchains in the world.
Venom was designed for massive projects of this scale. Given its size, this implementation could very well end up being the largest blockchain use case in the world.
This is a great day for everyone involved with Venom and the start of a new era.

This new PostgreSQL 17 feature is game changer.
You see, postgres like most databases work with fixed size pages. Pretty much everything is in this format, indexes, table data, etc. Those pages are 8K in size, each page will have the rows, or index tuples and a fixed header. The pages are just bytes in files and they are read and cached in the buffer pool.
To read page 0, for example, you would call read on offset 0 for 8192 bytes, To read page 1 that is another read system call from offset 8193 for 8192, page 7 is offset 57,345 for 8192 and so on.
If table is 100 pages stored a file, to do a full table scan, we would be making 100 system calls, each system call had an overhead (I talk about all of that in my OS course).
The enhancement in Postgres 17 is to combine I/Os you can specify how much IO to combine, so technically while possible you can scan that entire table in one system call doesnβt mean its always a good idea of course and Ill talk about that.
This also seems to included a vectorized I/O, with preadv system call which takes an array of offsets and lengths for random reads.
The challenge will become how to not read too much, say Iβm doing a seq scan to find something, I read page 0 and found it and quit I donβt need to read any more pages. With this feature I might read 10 pages in one I/O and pull all its content, put in shared buffers only to find my result in the first page (essentially wasting disk bandwidth, memory etc)
It is going to be interesting to balance this out.
Good work Pg team! More here

Note that true postgres issues a kernel system call to read 8k at a time the kernel can be configured to read βaheadβ little bit read more and cache it in the file system cache.

This is not just a game; it's a way of life, a beacon of freedom and responsibility, an orchestra where every move plays a symphony of strategic brilliance, patience, the ability to adapt to changing situations. This is Chess, "Think before you move." βοΈ
Our dream is simple, not everyone will have access to an Ivy League education, or even a formal education, but every child has talents and potential and we belive that chess can be a metaphorical mirror, allowing millions of children globally to see the reflection of their own incredible potential, unleashing the worlds greatest asset, the human mind.
