README
# bellperson [](https://crates.io/crates/bellperson)
> This is a fork of the great [bellman](https://github.com/zkcrypto/bellman) library.
`bellman` is a crate for building zk-SNARK circuits. 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 (Turing or newer) 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 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");
```
- `EC_GPU_NUM_THREADS`
Restricts the number of threads used by the FFT and multiexponentiation calculations. In the past this setting was shared with `RAYON_NUM_THREADS`, now they are separate settings that can be controlled independently. The default is set to the number of logical cores reported on the machine.
```rust
// Example
env::set_var("EC_GPU_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");
```
- `BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK`
Restricts the number of devices used by the FFT and multiexponentiation calculations.
- If it's not set, a single lock will be created, and each calculation uses all devices
- If BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK = 0, no lock will be created, each calculation uses all devices, and each device can run multiple calculations. **WARNING**: this option can break things easily. Each kernel expects that it's run without anything else running on the GPU at the same time. If two kernels run at the same time, they might interfere with each other and lead to crashes or wrong results.
- If BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK > 0, create a lock for each device, each calculation uses BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK (up to device number) devices
```rust
// Example
env::set_var("BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK", "0");
env::set_var("BELLPERSON_GPUS_PER_LOCK", "1");
```
#### 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.

### 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.
### Experimental
The instance aggregation provided by `groth16::aggregate::prove::aggregate_proofs_and_instances()` has not yet been
audited so should be used with caution. It is not recommended to use instance aggregation in production until it has
been audited.
