From ae779356251425ddcfa40234dc05ed3f35e396cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 23:59:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?perf:=20lazy=20field=20addition=20in=20Kotlin?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=2010-16%=20faster=20across=20all=20operations?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Remove reduceSelf from FieldP.add, making it lazy (same approach as the C implementation). Values may be in [0, 2^256) between additions. Safety analysis: - mul/sqr: reduceWide handles any 256-bit input ✓ - neg: added reduceSelf before P - a (prevents underflow) ✓ - half: added reduceSelf before conditional add P ✓ - sub: already adds P back on borrow (self-normalizing) ✓ - isZero/cmp: called on sub outputs (normalized) or after mul ✓ - verifySchnorrCore: added reduceSelf before Jacobian x-check ✓ - toBytes: only called on toAffine outputs (from mul, normalized) ✓ JVM benchmark results (ops/sec, HotSpot C2): pubkeyCreate: 32,096 → 37,211 (+15.9%) signXOnly: 31,149 → 34,507 (+10.8%) sign: 16,137 → 17,822 (+10.4%) verify: 12,733 → 14,027 (+10.2%) verifyFast: 14,734 → 15,449 (+4.9%) ECDH: 10,975 → 12,102 (+10.3%) batch(200): 91,611 → 102,354 (+11.7%) The improvement is larger than expected (10-16% vs estimated 6%) because HotSpot's branch prediction overhead for reduceSelf (virtual dispatch + 4 Long comparisons) is higher than the ~2.5ns estimated for native code. https://claude.ai/code/session_011KVZhDcV2G7idNWEBz12GY --- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/FieldP.kt | 17 ++++++++++++++++- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/FieldP.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/FieldP.kt index ff66bc1ef..64212dd5c 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/FieldP.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/FieldP.kt @@ -59,6 +59,14 @@ internal object FieldP { // ==================== Core arithmetic ==================== + /** + * out = a + b.
