Why
Explored idea in #62 with bench-marking and was able to achieve a 2-3x speed up (bitwidth of 5-6) vs serial diffing. Furthermore #62 was used in a test branch of lily filecoin-project/lily#880 where we observed a significant speed up (from mins to milliseconds) in its processing pipeline (diffing actor states, state-trees, miner and market AMTs).
What
parallelDiffNodeis mostly a copy ofdiffNodewith the addition of an errgroup to parallelize recursive access.parallelDiffNodeis called from withindiffAndAssertLengthfor all tests.
