1Productivity
If current techniques are used for generating zero-knowledge proofs, then the process can be completed, but computational overhead and resource requirements are excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the trace into multiple trace segments based on identified operations, allowing each segment to be recompiled and processed independently for zero-knowledge proof generation. This segmentation reduces the computational overhead by breaking down a large, complex proof generation task into smaller, more manageable units that can be processed in parallel or sequentially with reduced resource requirements.
2Productivity
If the trace is divided into multiple segments, then proof generation becomes more efficient, but the process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The trace is segmented into multiple trace segments based on operations, with each segment being recompiled and processed independently. This structured segmentation approach manages complexity by creating clear boundaries and independent processing units, making the overall complex process more manageable through systematic decomposition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by identifying operations and dividing the trace into segments before the actual zero-knowledge proof generation process. This preparatory segmentation and recompilation work is done in advance, organizing the trace data structure so that the subsequent proof generation can proceed more efficiently without dealing with the full complexity of the original trace at once.
3Use of energy by moving object
If trace segments are recompiled for zero-knowledge proof generation, then resource requirements are reduced, but the preprocessing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The trace segments are recompiled in advance as a preliminary action before the actual zero-knowledge proof generation. This recompilation work is performed beforehand to optimize the structure of each segment, reducing the resource requirements during the main proof generation process. The time investment in preprocessing is traded for reduced computational resources during execution.
