Artifact: Recover from Excessive Faults in Partially-Synchronous BFT SMR

In this work, we propose a recovery procedure for partially synchronous BFT SMR. We then evaluate the efficiency of the recovery algorithm in HotStuff, which we address as recover-HotStuff. Specifically, through the evaluation, we aim to understand: 1) the end-to-end latency and throughput of recover-HotStuff as compared to vanilla HotStuff, 2) how throughput and latency differs before and after recovery, and 3) how recovery time differs with the global stabilization time.
