Mining power of stream processor

1. HD5870 graphics card
built in 1600 stream processors

pay attention to the number of stream processors in mining

and this graphics card is very affordable now

2. This is very simple. You can compare CPUs to PhD students, who are very good at dealing with complex problems. The stream processors of graphics cards are high school students. However, there are only a few CPU cores (for example, 8 cores), and there are thousands of stream processors for a single graphics card.
mining is actually equivalent to pasting envelopes. If you think about it, eight PhD students paste quickly, Or more than a thousand high school students
mining is to use the parallel computing function of graphics card to solve simple but huge mathematical problems

3. Mining software, from the programming principle, is about large-scale parallel computing
there are many stream processors in GPU of graphics card. For example, the old HD5770 has 800 stream processors, which is equivalent to 800 computing cores. In recent years, the mainstream high-end graphics card has more built-in stream processors and more powerful computing performance. Using GPU for mining operation, the stream processor is used for parallel operation, and the mining program also optimizes the GPU parallel operation, so the operation efficiency is particularly high, and the efficiency of bitcoin mining has been greatly improved
the number of CPU cores is relatively small. At present, the number of the most powerful mainstream desktop processor cores is no more than 10 or 20 (many are logic cores virtualized by hyper threading technology), and the parallel computing power is far less than that of GPU.

4. Mining for computer graphics card requirements are very high, low-end graphics card is not used, so low-end graphics card is not likely to be used to mining.

5. CPU can also be used for mining. The CPU was used in the earliest mining. However, with the in-depth study of mining algorithms, miners found that mining is a relatively simple but repetitive operation process. The key to improving mining efficiency is to improve the efficiency of multi task processing, and the characteristics of CPU are not suitable for such operations. On the contrary, the graphics card has thousands of stream processors. It is better at mining this simple but repetitive work than CPU. Therefore, the graphics card is widely used in mining.

6. At present, the most valuable currencies for investment are rare ancient coins, which are unnecessary for a large amount of existence, and rare commemorative gold coins issued by the state. These should have the largest value-added space, waste a lot of money, and can be collected if there is more money.

7. blockchain is composed of blocks. A block contains about 400 transactions, which are packaged into a blockchain and then form a tamper proof blockchain
the packer of the transaction is the miner, and the income from the miner's packaged transaction is bitcoin
miner's income consists of two parts:
1. Service charge is required for package transaction (users pay part of bitcoin)
2. A reward (bitcoin) will be automatically generated for each block generated

8. In fact, this mainly depends on the need for software optimization. If the current program is optimized for the a card, of course, the a card will have an advantage. However, the actual situation is unknown if it has not been tried. Let's see which Xiao has a taste first

9. Mining is to see the graphics card GPU core computing power!! The faster the better ~ ~ budget can use al core GPU amd graphics card! But the price is also relatively high:)
