What would it take to run Bellman on a GPU? #26

Open nicola opened 6 years ago

nicola commented 6 years ago

At Zcon0, some of us had really great conversations on how to speed up SNARKs and some (I believe the codaprotocol folks) mentioned using GPU for parallelize proving. Since SNARKs are highly parallelizable (and since there is some work on showing that), what would it take to implement Bellman to be GPU friendly?

Anyone that in rust/gpu programming expert here?

The result of this issue was Filecoin implementing GPU support in their fork of bellman. Something I want to achieve this year is upstreaming that support into this crate.
