NTT
Overview
The Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) operation is used to convert an array of finite field elements representing a polynomial between coefficient and evaluation forms. The cuSnark library wraps Supranational's sppark NTT implementation.
Performance
The following table outlines the performance improvements yielded with just the cuSnark NTT employed, showing the (CPU baseline) and accelerated results for the different proof stages in a set of proofs of various sizes. Times are in seconds, obtained on a AMD EPYC 7702 64-Core Processor with 4x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (24 GB) GPUs.
