BatchZK: A Fully Pipelined GPU-Accelerated System for Batch Generation of Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is a cryptographic primitive that enables one party to prove the validity of a statement to other parties without disclosing any secret information. With its widespread adoption in applications such as blockchain and verifiable machine learning, the demand for generating zero-knowledge proofs has increased dramatically. In recent years, considerable efforts have been directed toward developing GPU-accelerated systems for proof generation. However, these previous systems only explored efficiently generating a single proof by reducing latency rather than batch generation to provide high throughput.
