gossip-protocol-rs

A blazingly-fast implementation of a synchronous gossip protocol in Rust with PyO3 Python bindings.

Build Rust library

cargo build --release
cargo run --release

Build Python bindings (optional, for data analytics)

Add crate-type = ["cdylib"] under [lib] to Cargo.toml, then:

poetry install --no-root
poetry run maturin build --release
poetry add target/wheels/*.whl

Call the Rust functions from Python

>>> from gossip_protocol_rs import pyrun_gossip_protocol
>>> res = pyrun_gossip_protocol(num_honest_sample=3000, num_adversarial_sample=2000,
    num_non_sample=100000, num_peers=8, cycles=50)

Simulation

See dineshpinto/synchronous-gossip-protocol for a pure Python implementation, along with additional theoretical details.

Benchmark
