It provides circuit traits and primitive structures, as well as basic gadget implementations such as booleans and number abstractions. ## Backend There is currently one backend available for the implementation of Bls12 381: - [`blstrs`](https://github.com/filecoin-project/blstrs) - optimized with hand tuned assembly, using [blst](https://github.com/supranational/blst) ## GPU This fork contains GPU parallel acceleration to the FFT and Multiexponentation algorithms in the groth16 prover codebase under the compilation features `cuda` and `opencl`. ### Requirements - NVIDIA or AMD GPU Graphics Driver - OpenCL ( For AMD devices we recommend [ROCm](https://rocm-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html) ) ### Environment variables 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. ```rust // Example env::set_var("BELLMAN_NO_GPU", "1"); ``` - `BELLMAN_VERIFIER` Chooses the device in which the batched verifier is going to run. Can be `cpu`, `gpu` or `auto`. ```rust Example env::set_var("BELLMAN_VERIFIER", "gpu"); ``` - `RUST_GPU_TOOLS_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"]`. ```rust // Example env::set_var("RUST_GPU_TOOLS_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. ```rust // Example env::set_var("BELLMAN_CPU_UTILIZATION", "0.5"); ``` - `RAYON_NUM_THREADS` Restricts the number of threads used in the library to roughly twice that number (best effort). In the past this was done using `BELLMAN_NUM_CPUS` which is now deprecated. The default is set to the number of logical cores reported on the machine. ```rust // Example env::set_var("RAYON_NUM_THREADS", "6"); ``` - `BELLMAN_GPU_FRAMEWORK` Bellman can be compiled with both, OpenCL and CUDA support. When both are available, `BELLMAN_GPU_FRAMEWORK` can be used to set it to a specific one, either `cuda` or `opencl`. ```rust // Example env::set_var("BELLMAN_GPU_FRAMEWORK", "opencl"); ``` - `BELLMAN_CUDA_NVCC_ARGS` By default the CUDA kernel is compiled for several architectures, which may take a long time. `BELLMAN_CUDA_NVCC_ARGS` can be used to override those arguments. The input and output file will still be automatically set. ```rust // Example for compiling the kernel for only the Turing architecture env::set_var("BELLMAN_CUDA_NVCC_ARGS", "--fatbin --gpu-architecture=sm_75 --generate-code=arch=compute_75,code=sm_75"); ``` #### Supported / Tested Cards 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. | Device Name | Cores | Comments | |------------------------|-------|----------------| | Quadro RTX 6000 | 4608 | | | TITAN RTX | 4608 | | | Tesla V100 | 5120 | | | Tesla P100 | 3584 | | | Tesla T4 | 2560 | | | Quadro M5000 | 2048 | | | GeForce RTX 3090 |10496 | | | GeForce RTX 3080 | 8704 | | | GeForce RTX 3070 | 5888 | | | GeForce RTX 2080 Ti | 4352 | | | GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER | 3072 | | | GeForce RTX 2080 | 2944 | | | GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER | 2560 | | | GeForce GTX 1080 Ti | 3584 | | | GeForce GTX 1080 | 2560 | | | GeForce GTX 2060 | 1920 | | | GeForce GTX 1660 Ti | 1536 | | | GeForce GTX 1060 | 1280 | | | GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER | 1280 | | | GeForce GTX 1650 | 896 | | | | | | | gfx1010 | 2560 | AMD RX 5700 XT | | gfx906 | 7400 | AMD RADEON VII | |------------------------|-------|----------------| ### Running Tests ```bash RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo test --release --all ``` To run using CUDA and OpenCL, you can use: ```bash RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo test --release --all --features cuda,opencl ``` To run the multiexp_consistency test you can use: ```bash RUST_LOG=info cargo test --features cuda,opencl -- --exact multiexp::gpu_multiexp_consistency --nocapture ``` ### Considerations Bellperson uses `rust-gpu-tools` as its CUDA/OpenCL backend, therefore you may see a directory named `~/.rust-gpu-tools` in your home folder, which contains the compiled binaries of OpenCL kernels used in this repository. ## License Licensed under either of - Apache License, Version 2.0, |[LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) - MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) at your option. ### Contribution Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
