Integer comparison using the millionaire app

[ahmed A.]

Hey everyone,

I am testing the Millionaire app of viff. I measured the time required to
compare 3-11 players. For 3 millionears, the comparison result was
generated after 2 second, while for 11 Millionaire I got 52 seconds. I
compared my results with the results of Martin Geisler in his PhD thesis
and I can see very big difference. Martin reported about only 2 seconds for
13 players (page 77). You can find his thesis here:

http://cs.au.dk/fileadmin/site_files/cs/PhD/PhD_Dissertations__pdf/Thesis_Martin_Geisler.pdf

I am wondering if I am missing something here. Is there any parameters that
I have to change when I generate the configuration files (e.g. disable the
PRSS) ? Is there another way to do the comparision which extermely speeds
up the process ?

I would appreciate any help or hint.

Thank you

Hi Ahmed,

Are you running the program as provided with VIFF? The figure on page 77
is about one comparison computed by n players, not comparing n millionaires.

Best regards,
Marcel
