approximate-gcd/README.md

Rust implementation for the approximate greatest common divisor (AGCD) problem using LLL algorithm.

commands

use the provided Makefile to compile the release version

approximate-gcd agcd <path to input file>

Input file must have the following format:

• first non-comment line: number of noise bits (written in decimal)
• all the other lines, one per line: the numbers Xi (written in decimal) to find the approximate GCD of
• // can be used to comment a line, MUST be used at the begining of a new line and not at the end of a line containing a number

generating values

The script gen_values can be used to generate test values

python gen_values.py [--noise-bits <number of noise bits>] [--number <number of values to generate>]

the output can be directly written to a file

python gen_values.py [options] > input.txt
