Citat af Tord Ingolf Reistad <to...@stud.ntnu.no>:
Hello,
As some of you might know I have not programmed that much in VIFF
because I am more familiar with C++ and Java than Python as a
programming language. Therefore I have now created a Java rival to
VIFF. Taking all the good design principles from VIFF and adding
some things that VIFF cannot offer such as multi-threading.
I have taken a look at the code. It's a bit hard to follow without
further explanation, but I think I understand the basics. At least it
seems like I wouldn't have a hard time writing small MPC programs
using your code (MPCTestAlgorithm certainly looks quite simple).
As Thomas has suggested, yes it would be fun to see benchmark
comparisons with VIFF.
When VIFF was designed, I don't think it was the idea to skip
multithreading with the knowledge that it would be worse or slower. A
thorough comparison of both schemes could help show if there are any
clear advantages to either of them. I hereby volunteer someone else to
do all the work :)
The program still has one drawback, in that the different players
communicate over Java queues, and these queues cannot communicate
through sockets. Therefore it is not a complete MPC implementation.
This part sounds a bit odd to be honest.
The whole program was programmed and tested in just 34 hours
(including 6 hours sleep). It contains 2115 lines of code and 32
classes
Ouch :)
