CPU and GPU Accelerated Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is one of the most promising technologies for privacy protection as it allows an arbitrary number of function computations over encrypted data. However, the computational cost of these FHE systems limits their widespread applications. In this paper, our objective is to improve the performance of FHE schemes by designing efficient parallel frameworks. In particular, we choose Torus Fully Homomorphic Encryption (TFHE) [1] as it offers exact results for an infinite number of boolean gate (e.g., AND, XOR) evaluations. We first extend the gate operations to algebraic circuits such as addition, multiplication, and their vector and matrix equivalents. Secondly, we consider the multi-core CPUs to improve the efficiency of both the gate and the arithmetic operations. Finally, we port the TFHE to the Graphics Processing Units (GPU) and device novel optimizations for boolean and arithmetic circuits employing the multitude of cores. We also experimentally analyze both the CPU and GPU parallel frameworks for different numeric representations (16 to 32-bit). Our GPU implementation outperforms the existing technique [1], and it achieves a speedup of 20× for any 32-bit boolean operation and 14.5× for multiplications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
