# EPF Cohort 6 Updates – Week 6

While I was working around with Pico found this amazing [repository](https://github.com/brevis-network/zkvm-bench/tree/main/pico), Since this is well built I integrated Ream-Benchmarks for Pico into this repo itself.
Here's my version https://github.com/x-senpai-x/zkvm-bench/tree/ream-pico/pico/pico/perf
A big issue is that Pico works only with nightly-2024-11-27 toolchain of rust. So the current release of Ream can't be benchmarked and I am working with [v0.0.2 release of Ream](https://github.com/ReamLabs/ream/releases/tag/v0.0.2)
I was able to built the ream-pico app to generate elf however I am stuck on an eof error, possible due to some conflicts while the guest programme reads inputs from the host (Operation input and Beacon State)

I am in talks with the Pico team regarding this and hopefully we'll be able to fix this soon.

Other than this I finished reading the [zkEvm book](https://eth-act.github.io/zkevm-book/introduction.html), awesome work by the eth-act team and Thomas Coratger.

I have also started with Zisk and will start integrating ream benchmarks into this.
For tracking benchmarks and performance I will be using this [repository](https://github.com/x-senpai-x/Ream-ZKVM-Benchmarks).
And both of us (Me and Dimitris ) will be adding our findings into this.

## Next Week's Goals

- [ ] Fix the problems with the Pico framework and be able to generate benchmarks for all the relevant STFs.
- [ ] Setup a similar codebase with zisk ZKVM as well.
