Software

walk1.cpp is our software for a typical small-interval experiment. To download and run:
     wget https://cr.yp.to/dlog/walk1.cpp
     g++ -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -o walk1 walk1.cpp -lgmpxx -lgmp
     ./walk1
This software is meant to illustrate how the small-interval algorithm works, and to assist in verifying the performance of the algorithm. It is not meant to be directly usable in applications, but it is a reasonable starting point for programmers incorporating this algorithm into applications. This software is in the public domain.
