Consider adding `multicore-sdr` support for Filecoin proofs

Open LesnyRumcajs opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Issue summary

The feature multicore-sdr can be added to the Filecoin proofs which is done in Lotus by default (via filecoin-ffi). It is unclear to me if those optimizations are useful only when doing operations like PC1 (which Forest doesn't do) or they could be helpful during validations as well.

Note that multicore-sdr requires adding hwloc as a dependency to Forest (and hwloc-devel or similar to Forest builds).

Run Forest with and without those optimizations (perhaps compute a few hundred tipsets) and see if it's worth adding it as a dependency.
