I know slots is something like the batch size. What is the usage scenario of SetSlots method? In a machine learning application, the size of cipher text will become smaller due to downsampling, can OpenFHE change batch size or slots dynamically to enable sparse packing and then make bootstrap faste…

SetSlots can be used to treat the current CKKS ciphertext as a sparse ciphertext (subring element). However, internally this means that a smaller vector has to be cloned as many times as needed to fill the maximum number of slots (half the ring dimension in CKKS). If this ciphertext is not set up th…

ok. When the valid data length is an odd number, how to replicate before SetSlots?
