Does fastecdsa support gpu computation? about fastecdsa HOT 2 CLOSED

I'll admit I'm not very familiar with GPU programming but my understanding is that GPUs would be suited for highly parallel workloads, whereas the elliptic curve operations that are the bottlenecks of this package aren't very suit to parallel implementations. I'm also not aware of any GMP support for running on GPUs, so the C code would have to be re-written.

That's not to say that this can't be done, but I would be interested in hearing an argument for the advantages of running this on the GPU, and also would likely need someone more familiar with GPU programming to implement it. I don't think a python wrapper around the native GPU code would work since my guess is that this would cause a fairly big performance hit vs writing this in something like C that the GPU can run natively.

Closing this as benefits and use cases of supporting running on GPUs are not clear.
