The previous code used an equality test for each index. This variant uses a "MUX tree" instead. If we imagine the items as being the leaves of a binary tree, we can compute the `i`th item by splitting `i` into bits, then performing a "select" operation for each node. The bit used in each select is based on the height of the associated node.
This uses fewer wires and is cheaper to evaluate, saving 31 wires in the recursion circuit.
A potential disadvantage is that this uses higher-degree constraints (degree 4 with our params), but I don't think this is much of a concern for us since we use a degree-9 constraint system.
For examlpe, if I change a test to use `ConstantArityBits(4, 5)`, I get
To efficiently perform FRI checks with an arity of 16, at least 152 wires are needed. Consider reducing arity.
* Replace `CrandallQuarticField` with a more generic `QuarticExtension`
And likewise for `CrandallQuadraticField`.
There are a few parameters which we can't automatically derive (in const Rust), so I specified them in a `AutoExtendable` trait.
This would make it fairly easy to add extension fields for `GoldilocksField` and any future fields.
* Attempt to derive 2-adicity, see Hamish's feedback
* Simplify TWO_ADICITY based on chat with Hamish
* PR feedback
* Merge AutoExtendable into Extendable (#235)
* Refactor GMiMC code
Adds a sub-trait of `Field` called `GMiMCInterface`, which is similar to `PoseidonInterface`.
This lets us have different fields with different GMiMC constants in a type-safe way.
* Remove `Interface`
* Const generic for width
* Move some Field members to a Field64 subtrait
I.e. move anything specific to 64-bit fields.
Also, relatedly,
- Tweak a bunch of prover code to require `Field64`, since 64-bit stuff is used in a couple places, like the FRI proof-of-work
- Remove `bits()`, which was unused and assumed a 64-bit field
- Rename a couple methods to reflect that they're u64 variants
There are no functional changes.
* Field64 -> PrimeField
* Remove `exp_u32`, `kth_root_u32`
* PrimeField: PrimeField
* Move `to_canonical_biguint` as well
* Add back from_noncanonical_u128
