Foresight Ventures：How ZK co-processor breaks smart contract data barriers | by Foresight Ventures | Medium

A simple and easy-to-understand example of the coprocessor concept is the relationship between a computer’s CPU and its graphics card (GPU). While the CPU can handle most tasks, it requires the assistance of the GPU for specific tasks where its computing power is insufficient, such as machine learning, graphic rendering, or running large-scale video games. To avoid lag or frame drops during gaming, a high-performance GPU is essential. In this scenario, the CPU acts as the processor, and the GPU serves as the coprocessor. When applied to blockchain technology, smart contracts function like the CPU, and ZK coprocessors are akin to GPUs. The key point is to delegate specific tasks to specialized coprocessors. It’s like in a factory, where the boss knows every step of the process and could do it all alone or teach employees the entire production process. But doing so would be highly inefficient, producing one item at a time and only starting the next after finishing the previous one. So, h
