# Multi parameters

Integers in Concrete are encrypted and processed according to a set of cryptographic parameters. By default, multiple sets of such parameters are selected by the Concrete Optimizer. This might not be the best approach for every use case, and there is the option to use mono parameters instead.

When multi parameters are enabled, a different set of parameters are selected for each bit-width in the circuit, which results in:

* Faster execution (generally).
* Slower key generation.
* Larger keys.
* Larger memory usage during execution.

To disable it, you can use `parameter_selection_strategy=fhe.ParameterSelectionStrategy.MONO` configuration option.

When enabled, you can select the level of circuit partitioning, with **multi\_parameter\_strategy** in [configuration](/concrete/2.7-1/guides/configure.md#options).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zama.org/concrete/2.7-1/compilation/key-related-options-for-faster-execution/multi_parameters.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
