Hello World Consensus:

from superinstance import Consensus

# Create consensus instance
consensus = Consensus(nodes=5)

# Propose value
consensus.propose(value=42)

# Wait for agreement
result = consensus.wait_for_agreement()
print(f"Consensus reached: {result}")

Origin Tracking:

from superinstance import OriginTracker

# Track data origin
tracker = OriginTracker()

# Add data with origin
data = {"temperature": 25.0}
origin = {"sensor_id": "DHT22", "location": "room1"}
tracker.add(data, origin)

# Verify origin
provenance = tracker.trace(data)
print(f"Data provenance: {provenance}")

GPU Acceleration:

import cupy as cp
from superinstance import GPUAccelerator

# Initialize GPU
gpu = GPUAccelerator(device=0)

# Accelerated computation
data = cp.random.rand(1000, 1000)
result = gpu.compute(data)

# Move back to CPU
result_cpu = cp.asnumpy(result)
print(f"GPU computation result: {result_cpu}")
