## 🔍 Profiling Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### CPU Profiling
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install flamegraph
|
||||
cargo install flamegraph
|
||||
|
||||
# Profile benchmark
|
||||
cargo flamegraph --bench zkproof_bench
|
||||
|
||||
# Open flamegraph.svg in browser
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Profiling
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# With valgrind
|
||||
valgrind --tool=massif --massif-out-file=massif.out \
|
||||
./target/release/examples/zkproof_bench
|
||||
|
||||
# Visualize
|
||||
ms_print massif.out
|
||||
|
||||
# With heaptrack (better)
|
||||
heaptrack ./target/release/examples/zkproof_bench
|
||||
heaptrack_gui heaptrack.zkproof_bench.*.gz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### WASM Size Analysis
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build WASM
|
||||
wasm-pack build --release --target web
|
||||
|
||||
# Check size
|
||||
ls -lh pkg/*.wasm
|
||||
|
||||
# Analyze with twiggy
|
||||
cargo install twiggy
|
||||
twiggy top pkg/ruvector_edge_bg.wasm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧪 Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Correctness Tests (Required)
|
||||
All existing tests must pass after optimization:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test --package ruvector-edge
|
||||
cargo test --package ruvector-edge --features wasm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Performance Regression Tests
|
||||
Add to CI/CD pipeline:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Fail if performance regresses by >5%
|
||||
cargo bench --bench zkproof_bench -- --test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. WASM Integration Tests
|
||||
Test in real browser:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// In browser console
|
||||
const prover = new WasmFinancialProver();
|
||||
prover.setIncomeTyped(new Uint32Array([650000, 650000, 680000]));
|
||||
|
||||
console.time('proof');
|
||||
const proof = await prover.proveIncomeAbove(500000);
|
||||
console.timeEnd('proof');
|
||||
```

## 🔒 Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Cryptographic Correctness
|
||||
⚠️ **Critical:** Optimizations MUST NOT compromise cryptographic security
|
||||
|
||||
**Safe optimizations:**
|
||||
- ✅ Caching (point decompression)
|
||||
- ✅ Parallelization (independent proofs)
|
||||
- ✅ Memory reduction (generator party count)
|
||||
- ✅ Serialization format changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Unsafe changes:**
|
||||
- ❌ Modifying proof generation algorithm
|
||||
- ❌ Changing cryptographic parameters
|
||||
- ❌ Using non-constant-time operations
|
||||
- ❌ Weakening verification logic
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Security Properties
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ensure constant-time operations
|
||||
cargo +nightly test --features ct-tests
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for timing leaks
|
||||
cargo bench --bench zkproof_bench -- --profile-time
|
||||
```
