Description

The transaction scheduler needs a scheduling algorithm which takes read/write sets into account when scheduling into multiple compute committees.

Note that there is already a greedy commutative batching algorithm implemented in Git history, so it probably just needs to be ported to the new transaction scheduler algorithm interface.

Research direction

Start with the transaction scheduler algorithm interface and inspect the greedy commutative batching algorithm in Git history. Determine how its read/write-set handling should be ported for scheduling across multiple compute committees, then verify that the resulting schedules respect those sets.
