Robust but Relaxed Probing Model
README
Artifact for "Robust but Relaxed Probing Model"
This artifact contains the extended PROLEAD version for the evaluation under the RR d-probing model.
Getting Started
We use the nix package manager (https://nixos.org/). After installing nix, simply type:
nix-shell
which will automatically install all required dependencies.
Afterwards, PROLEAD can be used within the nix shell. To compile run make clean release
.
Afterwards, run ./release/PROLEAD
to start the evaluation of a basic example.
Structure
The artifact is structured as follows:
* The examples
directory contains all experiments we reported in the paper (see Table 4).
* The inc
directory contains all header files of PROLEAD.
* The src
directory contains all source files of PROLEAD.
* The ut
directory contains unit tests. Specifically, we test the evaluation of gadgets given in the full
directory.
* The design.v
and config.json
files serve as default design and configuration file evaluated by running ./release/PROLEAD
.
* The library.json
file contains the standard cell library used by PROLEAD.
* The shell.nix
file contains the configuration for nix. If you need more information about PROLEAD's dependencies, have a look.
Reproduce the Paper Results
The paper results are given in the examples
folder. Every example contains a robust
and a relaxed
directory.
* The robust
directory contains the evaluation results under the robust d-probing model.
* The relaxed
directory contains the evaluation results under the RR d-probing model.
Further both directories contain the following files.
* The run.sh
file serves as eecution script to evaluate the design.
* The config.json
serves as a configuration file.
* The Report.dat
file visualizes the result of the evaluation.
To evaluate a specific design, navigate to the folder where the run.sh
file is located and type ./run.sh
.
Caveat
- We further optimized PROLEAD after the paper deadline and reproduced the results. Hence, the results in this artifact may slightly differ from the paper.
- Independent of the changes, we remark that the exact runtimes may highly depend on the applied machine. Please see Table 4 for an intuition of the requirements of a particular experiment.
