equihash integration

@khovratovich
Not, sure if I can phrase my query right. I'm not that technical into C ++, just wondering how can we implement and integrate equihash algo into our mining application? Any hint, guide or reference will be appreciated to achieve this.

Why right-shift after generating blake2b hash?

I want to adapt this algorithm in order to implement a ZCash miner. However, analysing the code I have some doubts about how XOR is computed in the various steps of the algorithm.
In function void Equihash::FillMemory(uint32_t length) hashes are generated in the following way:

equihash/Source/C++11/pow.cc

Lines 67 to 79 in 4140bd6

    
           for (unsigned i = 0; i < length; ++i, ++input[SEED_LENGTH + 1]) { 
        
               blake2b((uint8_t*)buf, &input, NULL, sizeof(buf), sizeof(input), 0); 
        
               uint32_t index = buf[0] >> (32 - n / (k + 1)); 
        
               unsigned count = filledList[index]; 
        
               if (count < LIST_LENGTH) { 
        
                   for (unsigned j = 1; j < (k + 1); ++j) { 
        
                       //select j-th block of n/(k+1) bits 
        
                       tupleList[index][count].blocks[j - 1] = buf[j] >> (32 - n / (k + 1)); 
        
                   } 
        
                   tupleList[index][count].reference = i; 
        
                   filledList[index]++; 
        
               } 
        
           }

Why, at row 74, only the most significant n/(k + 1) bits of buf[j] are stored and why the remaining 32-n/(k+1) bits are not considered?

In function void Equihash::ResolveCollisions(bool store) tuples' blocks are XORed generating a new tupleList. Neveretheless, in this way, if I have correctly understood, in each step of the algorithm, every n/(k+1) bits are not considered sequentially.

I try to make an example:
k=9, n=200

On each step I'm interested in the next 20 bits i.e. bits from 0 to 19 on first step, 0 to 39 on second etc.
In this algorithm it seems to me that in the first step are considered bits from 0 to 19, 32 to 52 on second etc because the shift register operation cut off the bits from 20 to 31

code parameters do not give correct memory usage

from the paper, n=144, k=5, should require 704 MB of memory, but the code does something terrifying on my linux box here. it says it will take 1.56GB, and then goes on to take somewhere between 5 and 6 GB of memory. also, due to how memory is handled/requested, this crashes my other computer (with only 8GB of memory, maybe it's running out of swap):
