ASIC integrated mining

1. GPU is the meaning of graph line processor, the original design intention is to do graphics computing. GPU chip is essentially a collection of many small CPUs for image processing. Of course, each CPU can also do general operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or non shift jump, so it can also be used for mining. When GPU is mining, it wastes less chip area and power consumption than CPU, so mining efficiency is higher than CPU
What about ASIC? It is a more optimized circuit than the CPU mentioned above. There is no specific definition, but there is a rule in the field of chip design: the more general computing platform, the less efficient it is to complete specific computing. ASIC is the most dedicated computing platform. If we understand this, we can come to such a basic conclusion: in the mining field, if we use the computing power proof mechanism, as long as the CPU can dig, ASIC can dig. No matter what algorithm is used, ASIC can dig. There is no reason that CPU can dig, but ASIC can't, So the biggest difference between GPU and ASIC is their specific computing power.

ASIC mining is often used in bitcoin mining, which belongs to computational power proof. Hard disk mining is a kind of storage mining

bitcoin mining is only for sha256 hash value calculation, with single function. Although CPU can calculate, it is not cost-effective in terms of cost and efficiency. Therefore, mining machinery enterprises have specially designed ASIC chips for sha256 (or other algorithms) calculation

IPFs hard disk mining, interstellar Aoyun mining machine belongs to this, two mining methods:

1, storage mining, what you need to contribute is hard disk storage space, the more hard disk space, the higher your mining capacity. That is, the size of hard disk capacity and the number of hard disks

2. What you need to contribute to search mining is to provide network bandwidth. The larger the network bandwidth, the higher your mining capacity

hard disk mining does not need the strong computing power of ASIC, and ASIC does not need much hard disk capacity

The main differences between 7Nm and 10nm are as follows:

1, gate length is different. The width of the gate formed on the CPU is also called the gate length. The 7Nm process can integrate more transistors into CPU and GPU, and make the processor have more functions and higher performance

2. Different power consumption. For 7Nm technology and 10nm technology, the volume of 7Nm will be smaller when the same number of transistors are plugged. The large volume of 10nm, because of the process problems, will lead to the larger capacitance of the original, the required voltage is higher than 7Nm, resulting in higher overall power consumption

performance:

the chip is composed of transistors. The smaller the process, the more transistors in the same area of the chip, and the stronger the natural performance. The performance of 7Nm is better than that of 10nm

take Huawei Qilin 980 as Qilin 970, where Qilin 980 is a chip with 7Nm process and Qilin 970 is a chip with 10nm process

first look at the number of transistors, Kirin 980 has 6.9 billion transistors, Kirin 970 has 5.5 billion transistors, an increase of about 25.5%. In terms of performance, it's not as simple as 25.5%, because it involves not only the number of transistors, but also the upgrade of CPU, GPU, NPU and other IP cores

in terms of specific values, for example, the running points of CPU, Qilin 980, GPU and NPU are about 50% higher, twice as high

extended data:

integrated circuits have two main advantages for discrete transistors: cost and performance. The low cost is e to the fact that the chip prints all the components as a unit through photolithography, rather than making only one transistor at a time. The high performance is e to the fast switching of components, which consumes less energy, because the components are small and close to each other. In 2006, the chip area ranged from a few square millimeters to 350 mm, with a million transistors per mm

5. In my opinion, if it reaches 10nm, the movement of the electron will have a great impact on the normal operation, which will greatly affect the yield of the proct. As far as I know, there is no good process to solve this kind of problem. Therefore, in the short run, it is better to consider expanding to three dimensions than to increase the plane density. It may be a practical method to forget the multi stack scheme proposed by which company in the front-end time.

7. Have you finished the design? Let's share it. Do you have ASIC chips for Cisco, juniper network routing and fiber switch.

8. After the emergence of ASIC, the running speed of ASIC BTC will be n times faster than that of graphics card, just as GPU is n times faster than CPU. LTC is mentioned in the voting options. Note: LTC is the abbreviation of litecain. The characteristics of LTC make it extremely difficult to realize ASIC / FPGA mining on LTC. You can regard LTC as ASIC / FPGA. For the comparison between LTC and BTC, please refer to: single choice voting. A total of 91 people participate in the voting. There are 129 days, 13 hours and 4 minutes before the end of voting. 1. If you don't dig, you will sell your graphics card directly, At that time, the graphics card had no profit as the CPU mining now. 2. Be able to dig, but not BTC, because LTC is a better choice! 3. We will continue to dig BTC, no matter how difficult it is, it doesn't matter. Your user group does not have voting rights

9. With the release of BFL's ASIC bitcoin mining equipment plan, more and more people are questioning whether ASIC mining will destroy bitcoin. So let's take a look at the chief developer of the bitcoin project
