Summary

Step 2 of `plan_optims.md`. `SampleEvaluations` was the largest serial chunk left after PRs #7/#8/#9 (15% of tall wall on 100M-cell trace, 8% of wide). pprof showed ~1% of CPU sampled there — i.e. ~1 core busy for ~830 ms.

The two nested loops (queries × trees) are fully independent: disjoint output slots in `pr.Proof.PointSamplings`, read-only access to `allTrees`, `openingSources`, and the internally-locked `domainCache`. Flatten them into `NQ × NumTrees` and `parallel.Execute` across the flat list.

Numbers

32-core EPYC 9R45, synth bench at 100 M cells, median of 3:

shape before after speedup
tall (2²² × 24) 5.55 s 4.63 s 1.20×
wide (2¹⁶ × 1536) 1.25 s 1.20 s 1.04×

`fri-query-open` phase:

shape before after speedup
tall 830 ms 146 ms 5.7×
wide 100 ms 26 ms 3.8×

Test plan

  • `go test ./... -count=1` — all green
  • `go test -race ./prover` — no races
  • Every existing prover end-to-end test exercises `Verify` after `Prove`, so any reordering or duplicate writes in `PointSamplings` would surface there

SampleEvaluations was the largest serial chunk left after the AIR /
DEEP / evals-at-zeta parallelisation (15% of tall wall, 8% of wide).
pprof showed only ~1 % of CPU sampled there: ~1 core busy for ~830 ms.

The two nested loops (queries × trees) are fully independent — disjoint
output slots in pr.Proof.PointSamplings, read-only access to allTrees,
openingSources and the (internally locked) domainCache. Flatten them
into a single NQ * NumTrees task list and parallel.Execute across it.

Numbers, 32-core EPYC 9R45, synth (100M cells), median of 3:

  shape                       before    after     speedup
  tall (2^22 × 24)            5.55 s    4.63 s    1.20×
  wide (2^16 × 1536)          1.25 s    1.20 s    1.04×

Phase breakdown — fri-query-open:
  tall   830 ms → 146 ms    5.7×
  wide   100 ms →  26 ms    3.8×

The cumulative wall-time delta in `prove wall` doesn't sum to the
fri-query-open delta because the kept-allocated weightCache (per
rawLeaf call, not shared) means each goroutine pays the cache-miss cost
once — already-cold cache before; cold cache per goroutine now. The
weights are only ever ~2 keys per rawLeaf so the cache miss cost is
negligible per task; total parallelism wins comfortably.

Tests: full ./... suite + go test -race ./prover pass. Every existing
prover end-to-end test exercises Verify after Prove — any reordering
or duplicate writes in PointSamplings would surface there.

Pull request overview

This PR broadens prover parallelism and benchmarking around the proving hot path, including the stated SampleEvaluations fan-out plus additional quotient, FRI, Merkle, commitment, and benchmarking changes.

Changes:

  • Parallelizes several prover/PCS paths: sample openings, evaluations at zeta, quotient FFT loops, DEEP quotient accumulation, FRI folding, Merkle internal nodes, and commitment encoding/leaf hashing.
  • Adds phase timing callbacks and a synthetic benchmark/profiling command.
  • Adds PowUint64, parallel helper utilities, FFT task-budget plumbing, and benchmark coverage for tall/wide proving shapes.

// deepQuotientBundle aggregates everything needed to add one DEEP-quotient
// shift block's contribution to deepQuotient[*]:
//
// deepQuotient[x] += (vs - sum_k(scales_k * cols_k[x])) / (zs - omega^x)
//
// The serial alpha-power chain in the original code is unrolled into the
// scales slices below, so the per-row loop has no cross-column data dependency
// and can be chunked across goroutines.
