This is a generically useful function. Also, `prefetch::()`

Frankly, I think using features is very limited. Rather, using cfgs which can hold parameters would be preferable. For instance, with regards to optimisation level, rust offers 3 levels, so...

More fine-grained control over parallelism

Something that has always irked me about using something like rayon is that as part of a larger application, it is not really possible to specify dynamically how many threads...

Implement const for all BigInteger and Field methods via const generics

1

This should be investigated.

Investigate ways to improve basic primitive speed

23

With some simple changes converting biginteger primitive iter ops to their unrolled counterparts, one obtains some decent results. Hence, the hypothesis is that implementing assembly for these functions could improve...

Improve Benchmarking Framework

9

Benchmarking currently uses a statistical confidence to determine the number of iterations. However, this can lead to extremely long-running benchmarks. Hence, I suggest to limit the number of iterations by...

Results from benchmarking pairing libraries

29

Hi all, I would like to share with you guys some benchmarks I ran on zexe, gnark/goff and zkcrypto's BL12-381. I believe this is a good place to start to...

Unergonomic process of developing code across algebra/curves boundaries etc.

4

Currently, it is extremely tedious to try to modify two separate git repos that are dependent. Especially with curves, one wishes for a way to propagate the pointer to a...

Field should return size

3

Field should return extension degree + characteristic (already impl) so that one can easily determine its order.

- `min_const_generics`: Get rid of field macros and use integer-parametrised type instead. - `const_trait_impl`: Make all arithmetic operations `impl const TraitOp for Fp` etc. This allows one to overload arithmetic...
