Multithreading support in OpenFHE

Library Questions
1

Is there any way of parallel processing so that a program takes less time while running like what we can do during the “make” of the library?

Under the hood OpenFHE already uses OpenMP and it defaults to the max number of threads. To see open mp being used in the code check out openfhe-development/src/core/lib/math/matrix.cpp where you can see the #pragma omp parallel for being used.

template <class Element>
Matrix<Element>& Matrix<Element>::operator-=(Matrix<Element> const& other) {
    if (rows != other.rows || cols != other.cols) {
        OPENFHE_THROW(math_error, "Subtraction operands have incompatible dimensions");
    }
#pragma omp parallel for   // <- HERE
    for (size_t j = 0; j < cols; ++j) {
        for (size_t i = 0; i < rows; ++i) {
            data[i][j] -= other.data[i][j];
        }
    }

    return *this;
}

Another user was looking at using direct multithreading Multi-threading ciphertext multiplication and bootstrapping but I’m not sure if it’s applicable to you. Also feel free to check out CMakeLists.txt to see the CMake that relates to openmp
