10/// A trait for parallel application of N-to-1 compression functions.
11///
12/// This trait enables efficient batch compression operations where multiple N-element
13/// chunks are compressed in parallel. It's particularly useful for constructing hash trees
14/// and Merkle trees where many compression operations need to be performed simultaneously.
15///
16/// The trait is parameterized by:
17/// - `T`: The type of values being compressed (typically hash digests)
18/// - `N`: The arity of the compression function (number of inputs per compression)
19pub trait ParallelPseudoCompression<T, const N: usize> {
20	/// The underlying compression function that performs N-to-1 compression.
21	type Compression: CompressionFunction<T, N>;
22
23	/// Returns a reference to the underlying compression function.
24	fn compression(&self) -> &Self::Compression;
25
26	/// Compresses multiple N-element chunks in parallel.
27	///
28	/// # Arguments
29	/// * `inputs` - A slice containing the values to compress. Must have length `N * out.len()`.
30	/// * `out` - Output buffer where compressed values will be written.
31	///
32	/// # Behavior
33	/// For each index `i` in `0..out.len()`, this method computes:
34	/// ```text
35	/// out[i] = Compression::compress([inputs[i*N], inputs[i*N+1], ..., inputs[i*N+N-1]])
36	/// ```
37	///
38	/// All compressions are performed in parallel for efficiency.
39	///
40	/// # Post-conditions
41	/// After this method returns, all elements in `out` will be initialized with the
42	/// compressed values from their corresponding N-element chunks in `inputs`.
43	///
44	/// # Panics
45	/// Panics if `inputs.len() != N * out.len()`.
46	fn parallel_compress(&self, inputs: &[T], out: &mut [MaybeUninit<T>]);

49/// A simple adapter that wraps any `CompressionFunction` to implement `ParallelCompression`.
50///
51/// This adapter provides a straightforward way to use existing compression functions
52/// in parallel contexts by applying them sequentially to each N-element chunk.
