RNG Test Bench

Brief Summary

Order of operations:

Generate a ~700MB file of random bytes for each generator, for each iteration.
Run ent on the file.
Run all specified dieharder tests on the file if ent passes.
Burn 5 billion bytes from each generator, for each iteration. Record the timings and calculate throughput.
Run one final suite of classical tests on the generator.

It needs to be run on a system that can install ent and dieharder. time is also recommended, but not necessary.
Install ent and dieharder from the package manager if available. Otherwise, refer to their respective repositories: ent and dieharder.
Install zip if you do not have it.
Optionally create a config.toml file based on the sample provided if any of the settings need to be changed.

Uncomment the required generators in the enabled_generators array in src/main.v.

It is recommended to use v -prod . to compile the program.

Then run it using time ./rng_testbench --mode runall

NOTE: If all iterations are set, each RNG takes over 10 minutes to test (using -prod).

If the email API key is set, it will attempt to send an email after the test has concluded.

Just run v run . after at least one test is run.
