Crate binius_hal

The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) provides an interface for expensive computations that can be run with hardware acceleration.

The HAL is consumed by the binius_core crate. The interfaces are currently designed around the architecture of Irreducible’s custom FPGA platform. The crate exposes a default, portable CPU backend that can be created with crate::make_portable_backend.

Structs

• CpuBackend
  Implementation of ComputationBackend for the default Backend that uses the CPU for all computations.
• RoundEvals
  Evaluations of a polynomial at a set of evaluation points.

Enums

• Error
• SumcheckMultilinear
  An individual multilinear polynomial in a multivariate composite.

Traits

• ComputationBackend
  An abstraction to interface with acceleration hardware to perform computation intensive operations.
• ComputationBackendExt
• HalSlice
  HAL-managed memory containing the result of its operations.
• SumcheckEvaluator
