In many use cases, there are multiple signatures of the same message, e.g., Ethereum attestations often share the signed
AttestationData
.For that situation,
blst
started exposing Pippenger multiplication to accelerate this use case. Multiscalar multiplication is much faster than individual scalar multiplication of each signature / pubkey.Further optimizations may be achieved with parallel tiling, see the Rust binding code in the
npoints >= 32
situation:Likewise, multiple pubkeys / signatures may be loaded simultaneously using the new
blst
APIs.We don't do either of these additional optimizations as our architecture does not readily support them. Pippenger multiplication alone already offers a significant speedup until prioritizing further optimizations.
