Introducing SP1 GPU, a next-generation prover for SP1.

SP1 GPU brings a 10x reduction in cost and latency, another critical step towards making ZK accessible to any developer 👇

Today, SP1 achieves state of the art performance based on our precompile-centric architecture, which reduces zkVM cycle-count substantially for real-world workloads.

SP1 GPU is another phase shift in SP1's performance, driving down cost and latency by another 10x.

Our benchmarks with GPU show that parts of our prover benefit from GPU acceleration by 20x.

The dominant prover time today is spent on committing and quotient computation. With GPU this reduces substantially and is no longer a bottleneck.

Already, we are collaborating with leading hardware teams on GPU implementations for integration with Succinct's prover network. This is enabled by SP1's 100% open-source codebase.

Users will seamlessly access SP1 GPU's benefits on Succinct's decentralized prover network.

Succinct's prover network allows rollups, oracles, and other SP1 users to outsource complex proof generation infrastructure to specialized hardware teams with one unified API.

Expect support for SP1 GPU on an early version of our prover network in the upcoming weeks.
