From bdf7ab1a15133bcaa4a5a8cb919353db7bfb9725 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 00:44:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf: eliminate allocations in verify path and add pubkey cache Add in-place ScalarN operations (mulTo, addTo, negTo) that write to caller-provided output arrays instead of allocating. Add Glv.splitScalarInto that uses pre-allocated scratch buffers from PointScratch, eliminating ~26 LongArray allocations per call (called 2x per verify = ~52 allocs saved). Both mul and mulDoubleG now use the allocation-free split path. Pool all LongArray and MutablePoint allocations in verifySchnorr into thread-local PointScratch (verifyPx/Py/R/S/E/Rx/Ry, verifyPPoint, verifyResult). Add U256.fromBytesInto for decoding into pre-allocated arrays. Total: ~14 object allocations eliminated per verify call. Add pubkey decompression cache (256-entry direct-mapped) that skips the liftX square root (~280 field ops) for repeated pubkeys. In Nostr, the same authors are verified repeatedly, so cache hit rate is high. This saves ~13% of verify cost per cache hit. Increase benchmark warmup/iterations for more stable measurements (e.g., verifySchnorr: 200/500 -> 2000/5000). JVM benchmark result: verify ratio improved from 3.0x to 2.0x vs native C (with 100% cache hit rate on the benchmark's single pubkey). https://claude.ai/code/session_017UbWduFi1sLUsgVUMUH2nx --- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Glv.kt | 52 +++++ .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt | 33 +++- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/ScalarN.kt | 180 ++++++++++++------ .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt | 83 ++++++-- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/U256.kt | 13 +- 5 files changed, 287 insertions(+), 74 deletions(-) diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Glv.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Glv.kt index 314454cab..ff2dfd6ac 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Glv.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Glv.kt @@ -71,6 +71,58 @@ internal object Glv { ) } + /** + * Allocation-free splitScalar using pre-allocated scratch from PointScratch. + * Eliminates ~26 LongArray allocations per call (called 2× per verify = ~52 allocs saved). + */ + fun splitScalarInto( + outK1: LongArray, + outK2: LongArray, + k: LongArray, + w: LongArray, + t1: LongArray, + t2: LongArray, + ): Split { + // c1 = mulShift384(k, G1) + mulShift384Into(t1, k, G1, w) + // c2 = mulShift384(k, G2) + mulShift384Into(t2, k, G2, w) + + // r2 = add(mul(c1, MINUS_B1), mul(c2, MINUS_B2)) + // Use outK1 as temp for mul(c1, MINUS_B1), outK2 as temp for mul(c2, MINUS_B2) + ScalarN.mulTo(outK1, t1, MINUS_B1, w) + ScalarN.mulTo(outK2, t2, MINUS_B2, w) + ScalarN.addTo(outK2, outK1, outK2) // outK2 = r2 + + // r1 = add(mul(r2, MINUS_LAMBDA), k) + ScalarN.mulTo(outK1, outK2, MINUS_LAMBDA, w) + ScalarN.addTo(outK1, outK1, k) // outK1 = r1 + + val neg1 = U256.cmp(outK1, N_HALF) > 0 + val neg2 = U256.cmp(outK2, N_HALF) > 0 + if (neg1) ScalarN.negTo(outK1, outK1) + if (neg2) ScalarN.negTo(outK2, outK2) + return Split(outK1, outK2, neg1, neg2) + } + + /** Allocation-free mulShift384. */ + private fun mulShift384Into( + out: LongArray, + k: LongArray, + g: LongArray, + w: LongArray, + ) { + U256.mulWide(w, k, g) + out[0] = w[6] + out[1] = w[7] + out[2] = 0L + out[3] = 0L + if (w[5] < 0) { // bit 63 of w[5] = bit 383 (rounding) + out[0]++ + if (out[0] == 0L) out[1]++ + } + } + // ==================== wNAF Encoding ==================== /** diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt index cb90bd61c..96dca2fc0 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt @@ -346,6 +346,24 @@ internal object ECPoint { val batchZInv = LongArray(4) val batchZInv2 = LongArray(4) val batchZInv3 = LongArray(4) + + // Pre-allocated scratch for Glv.splitScalar (avoids ~26 LongArray allocs per call) + val splitWide = LongArray(8) // mulShift384 and ScalarN.mulTo scratch + val splitT1 = LongArray(4) // temporary for mul results + val splitT2 = LongArray(4) // temporary for mul results + val splitK1 = LongArray(4) // output k1 + val splitK2 = LongArray(4) // output k2 + + // Pre-allocated scratch for verifySchnorr (avoids per-call allocations) + val verifyPx = LongArray(4) + val verifyPy = LongArray(4) + val verifyR = LongArray(4) + val verifyS = LongArray(4) + val verifyE = LongArray(4) + val verifyRx = LongArray(4) + val verifyRy = LongArray(4) + val verifyPPoint = MutablePoint() + val verifyResult = MutablePoint() } private val scratch = ScratchLocal { PointScratch() } @@ -563,8 +581,8 @@ internal object ECPoint { val wnd = 5 val tableSize = 1 shl (wnd -
