Exporting certain gates into Bristol format

[snwagh]

Is there a way I can export a REPEATER gate into the Bristol format?

The repeat gate changes a single share to a SIMD share, which means the same operation is executed on many shares in parallel. I don't think there is an equivalent to this in the Brisol format.

I think your options are:

• ignore repeater gates completely (i.e. regard them as identitiy gates that simply pass the input wire(s) to the output), which removes the SIMD capability
• try to manually schedule the SIMD gates in parallel. This will need some engineering effort as SIMD gates are single gates in ABY, but would be multiple (nvals many) gates in the Bristol format.
