I wonder if at some point (hopefully not that far from now) there's some breakthrough or development that would allow FHE in GPU.
I'm guessing maybe that could be a front where the unused GPU power can be taken advantage of in desktop/mobile, besides desktop.
I could imagine some sort of algorithm/driver/framework plus a protocol that would allow remote services to make queries on your personal files (without privacy issues), while being accelerated by the client's GPU.
Obviously I'm talking out of my behind here but I hope maybe someday someone will figure it out.
- skdotdan 10y agoExcuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by FHE?
- grzm 10y agoLikely Fully Homomorphic Encryption, e.g., "Accelerating fully homomorphic encryption using GPU" http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6408660/ http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6408660/
- saganus 10y agoAha! Very nice. This looks interesting. Even though I probably won't understand it, at least it means I wasn't that far off. Hopefully we will see more of this sooner rather than later. FHE is one of those things that I think would be a game changer if it's cheap enough to use broadly.
- skdotdan 10y agoThanks!
- saganus 10y agoYes, sorry. Fully Homomorphic Encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption
- skdotdan 10y agoThanks!
- anonymousDan 10y agoThere has already been some academic work on accelerating fhe using GPUs, and it does indeed make a big difference. However, it's still orders of magnitude slower than native computation.
