This is a fork of the great bellman library.
bellman is a crate for building zk-SNARK circuits. It provides circuit traits
and primitive structures, as well as basic gadget implementations such as
booleans and number abstractions.
There are currently two backends available for the implementation of Bls12 381,
they can be selected using pairing or blst features.
The default for now is pairing, as the secure and audited choice.
This fork contains GPU parallel acceleration to the FFT and Multiexponentation algorithms in the groth16 prover codebase under a conditional compilation feature #[cfg(feature = "gpu")] and gpu-test for testing.

NVIDIA GPU Graphics Driver

OpenCL
The gpu extension contains some env vars that may be set externally to this library.
BELLMAN_NO_GPU
Will disable the GPU feature from the library and force usage of the CPU.
Example
env::set_var("BELLMAN_NO_GPU", "1");
BELLMAN_CUSTOM_GPU
Will allow for adding a GPU not in the tested list. This requires researching the name of the GPU device and the number of cores in the format ["name:cores"].
Example
env::set_var("BELLMAN_CUSTOM_GPU", "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti:4352, GeForce GTX 1060:1280");
BELLMAN_CPU_UTILIZATION
Can be set in the interval [0,1] to designate a proportion of the multiexponenation calculation to be moved to cpu in parallel to the GPU to keep all hardware occupied.
Example
env::set_var("BELLMAN_CPU_UTILIZATION", "0.5");
BELLMAN_VERIFIER
Chooses the device in which the batched verifier is going to run. Can be cpu, gpu or auto.
Example
env::set_var("BELLMAN_VERIFIER", "gpu");
Currently only Nvidia hardware is supported, see issue. Depending on the size of the proof being passed to the gpu for work, certain cards will not be able to allocate enough memory to either the FFT or Multiexp kernel. Below are a list of devices that work for small sets. In the future we will add the cuttoff point at which a given card will not be able to allocate enough memory to utilize the GPU.
