PEVM

This project implements an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) command executor, leveraging Rust's powerful concurrency features. The executor processes blocks from a blockchain, performing transactions in parallel using multiple threads to maximize efficiency.

Features

• Executes EVM commands within a defined block range.
• Employs a multi-threaded approach to enhance execution speed.
• Supports dynamic task distribution and load balancing across threads.
• Offers real-time monitoring of execution progress.

Dependencies

The project relies on several external crates:

• clap for command-line argument parsing.
• eyre for error handling.
• tracing for logging.
• reth_* crates for blockchain-related functionalities.
• num_cpus to determine the number of CPU cores.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Rust installed. If not, install it from rustup.rs.
2. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

3. Build the project:

   cargo build --release

Usage

The main functionality is provided by the EvmCommand struct, which is configured and executed through the command line.

Command Line Arguments

• --begin or -b: Begin block number (required).
• --end or -e: End block number (required).
• --step or -s: Step size for loop, default is 100.

Example

To execute the EVM command for blocks from 1000 to 2000 with a step size of 50, run:

cargo run --release -- -b 1000 -e 2000 -s 50

Code Overview

The core functionality is implemented in the EvmCommand struct. The execute method performs the following steps:

• Sets up the environment and consensus mechanism.
• Configures the blockchain tree and provider.
• Validates the specified block range.
• Creates a task queue and splits the block range into individual tasks.
• Launches multiple threads to process these tasks concurrently.
• Monitors and logs execution progress in real time.
• Waits for threads to complete and manages any errors that arise during execution.

Task Execution

Each thread fetches tasks from a shared task queue, processes blocks within the specified range, and updates shared counters for gas usage, block count, and transaction count. The execution results are logged for monitoring.

Real-Time Monitoring

A separate thread periodically records runtime metrics, such as the number of blocks and transactions processed, along with the current gas throughput.
