Achi VDF
Building a wheel
Compiling achivdf requires cmake, boost and GMP/MPIR.
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel setuptools_scm pybind11
pip wheel .Building Timelord and related binaries
In addition to building the required binary and source wheels for Windows,
MacOS and Linux, achivdf can be used to compile vdf_client and vdf_bench.
vdf_client is the core VDF process that completes the Proof of Time submitted
to it by the Timelord. The repo also includes a benchmarking tool to get a
sense of the iterations per second of a given CPU called vdf_bench. Try
./vdf_bench square_asm 250000 for an ips estimate.
To build vdf_client set the environment variable BUILD_VDF_CLIENT to "Y".
export BUILD_VDF_CLIENT=Y.
Similarly, to build vdf_bench set the environment variable BUILD_VDF_BENCH to
"Y". export BUILD_VDF_BENCH=Y.
If you're running a timelord, the following tests are available, depending of which type of timelord you are running:
./1weso_test, in case you're running in sanitizer_mode.
./2weso_test, in case you're running a timelord that extends the chain and you're running the slow algorithm.
./prover_test, in case you're running a timelord that extends the chain and you're running the fast algorithm.
Those tests will simulate the vdf_client and verify for correctness the produced proofs.
