Some questions about CKKSEncoderTest.
In CKKSEncoderEncodeSingleDecodeTest, there is a comment that says there is a very large scale.
{
// Use a very large scale
int data_bound = (1 << 20);
Plaintext plain;
vector<complex<double>> result;
for (int iRun = 0; iRun < 50; iRun++) {
int value = static_cast<int>(rand() % data_bound);
encoder.encode(value, context.first_parms_id(), plain);
// print the scale to verify
if (iRun == 0) {
std::cout << "plain scale: 2^" << std::log2(plain.scale()) << "\n";
}
encoder.decode(plain, result);
for (size_t i = 0; i < slots; ++i) {
auto tmp = abs(value - result[i].real());
ASSERT_TRUE(tmp < 0.5);
}
}
}
{
// Use a scale over 128 bits
int data_bound = (1 << 20);
Plaintext plain;
vector<complex<double>> result;
for (int iRun = 0; iRun < 50; iRun++) {
int value = static_cast<int>(rand() % data_bound);
encoder.encode(value, context.first_parms_id(), plain);
if (iRun == 0) {
// print the scale to verify
std::cout << "plain scale: 2^" << std::log2(plain.scale()) << "\n";
}
encoder.decode(plain, result);
for (size_t i = 0; i < slots; ++i) {
auto tmp = abs(value - result[i].real());
ASSERT_TRUE(tmp < 0.5);
}
}
}
Then I output the scale() of Plaintext and found it is very small.
[ RUN ] CKKSEncoderTest.CKKSEncoderEncodeSingleDecodeTest
plain scale: 2^16
plain scale: 2^0
plain scale: 2^0
plain scale: 2^0
[ OK ] CKKSEncoderTest.CKKSEncoderEncodeSingleDecodeTest (4 ms)
[----------] 2 tests from CKKSEncoderTest (43 ms total)
I am confused about this, are the comments here wrong? Or am I not understanding scale correctly?
