Ah, good question: the numbers are taken from the current program counter at the time when the multiplication is scheduled. And it turns out to start at about 2n since we start by doing 2n shamir secret sharings to get n pairs. > And if you have measured time for individual multiplications, why > are the numbers on the y-axis smaller in the 1000 multiplication > case?

I would at least expect the final multiplications to take about equally long, even if the first one are waiting longer when doing 4000 multiplications. -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multi-Party Computation) to Python.
