Miden processor

This crate contains an implementation of Miden VM processor. The purpose of the processor is to execute a program and to generate a program execution trace. This trace is then used by Miden VM to generate a proof of correct execution of the program.

The processor exposes an execute() function which takes the following parameters:

• program: &Program - a reference to a Miden program to be executed.
• inputs: &ProgramInputs - a reference to a set of public and secret inputs with which to execute the program.

If the program is executed successfully, the function will return ExecutionTrace<BaseElement> struct contain the execution trace of the program. Otherwise, the function will panic.

For example:

use miden_assembly::compile;
use miden_processor::{execute, ProgramInputs};

// compile Miden assembly source code into a program
let program = compile("begin push.3 push.5 add end").unwrap();

// execute the program with no inputs
let trace = execute(&program, &ProgramInputs::none());

Internally, the processor is separated into two parts:

• The decoder, which is responsible for decoding instructions and managing control flow.
• The stack, which is responsible for executing instructions against the stack.
