AttributeError: 'PreProcessedElements' object has no attribute 'mixins'

Happens when running the experiment on EC2, for the commands:

• python -m apps.asynchromix.powermixing
• python -m apps.asynchromix.butterfly_network
• python -m honeybadgermpc.ipc

We do not have any ci tests covering this AWS code, so it is not surprising if small interface changes or refactoring end up breaking these.

A note to myself to keep track of the progress on fixing this issue ... currently fixed the "original" error and running into this error:

[amiller]

Isn't this just the error message due to preprocessing underrun? Generate more zeroes?

[sbellem]

just adding a bit of logging info for the above error:

key is: (0, 4, 1)
count is: defaultdict(<class 'int'>, {(0, 5, 1): 1000, (0, 4, 1): 0})

the key/tuple (0, 4, 1) corresponds to (context.my_id, context.N, context.t) which is built from the config:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-46-44:~$ cat config/config-0.json 
{"N": 4, "t": 1, "my_id": 0, "peers": ["34.229.192.79:7000", "54.92.170.32:7000", "52.67.182.22:7000", "3.126.146.22:7000", "35.183.10.38:7000"], "reconstruction": {"induce_faults": false}, "skip_preprocessing": true, "extra": {}}

so what is not clear to me now, and what I am looking into now, is why is also the tuple (0, 5, 1) an entry, and this one has 1000 elements compared to (0, 4, 1) which has 0 ...

the contents of the sharedata dir on one of the machines:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-46-44:~$ ls sharedata/
triples_5_1-0.share  zeros_5_1-0.share
ubuntu@ip-172-31-46-44:~$ wc -l sharedata/zeros_5_1-0.share 
1003 sharedata/zeros_5_1-0.share

Isn't this just the error message due to preprocessing underrun? Generate more zeroes?

Yes, generating more zeroes works ... :smile: but the value of n needs to match the number of VMs, as this number is currently used when generating triples and zeroes, e.g.:

https://github.com/initc3/HoneyBadgerMPC/blob/73353311e8922ec34b815b58330ff2a956183694/aws/run-on-ec2.py#L61-L67

[amiller]

That script may need to change since we may have VMs for clients in an experiment, that would not count as part of n or t. This especially occurs when running experiments for AVSS where there is a separate dealer
