Why mining fee graphics card
Why use graphics card to mine
compared with CPU, GPU is used for general purpose calculation. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance is much stronger than that of CPU. p> However, as we have mentioned before, a card is very suitable for general computing such as virtual currency because it has many stream processors, and the speed of obtaining specific solutions is much higher than that of N card. Therefore, many miners rush to buy a card to calculate virtual currency for profit
of course, with NVIDIA's Pascal graphics card, n card's ability in mining virtual currency is not as different as a card before. So in the current situation that a card is generally out of stock, those mid-range N cards have become the second choice for miners
What are the disadvantages of mine cardfinally, I want to talk about why we can't choose mine card when we are shopping for second-hand cards. Because the miners are mining bitcoin, the most important thing is to seek profits. Therefore, the graphics card they use is running and calculating all the time, and its strength is far greater than that of daily game applications. In other words, running such a calculation for one day is equivalent to running a graphics card for one month
in addition, the places where virtual currency is mined are mostly the places where multiple graphics cards gather. Thousands of graphics cards are constantly calculating in a room, and their heat is also quite huge. Miners can not choose the chassis with good heat dissipation conditions like ordinary consumers, so that the heat can be released smoothly. In this way, the graphics cards can still operate for 7 * 24 hours under high temperature conditions, It also deepens its aging degree
the result of doing so is that the graphics cards used for mining are lost prematurely. If you buy these graphics cards, the result will be unstable operation, restart and other things will continue to happen
moreover, at present, manufacturers also have strict requirements on mine cards, such as banning second-hand sales and shortening the shelf life. If users buy these mine card graphics cards, future maintenance will also be a big challenge
Graphics card mining is a process of increasing the bitcoin money supply
the reason why the graphics card is used is that mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. The mining machine is composed of graphics card array. With dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards, the cost of hardware and other costs is very high, and there is a considerable expenditure in mining
computers have professional mining chips, and most of them work by installing a large number of graphics cards, which consumes a lot of power. One of the ways to get bitcoin is to download mining software and then run specific algorithm to communicate with remote server to get corresponding bitcoin
overview
graphics card, also known as video card, is an important part of the computer. It undertakes the task of outputting display graphics. For people who like to play games and engage in professional graphic design, graphics card is very important. The display chips of mainstream graphics cards are mainly made by NVIDIA (NVIDIA) and AMD (ultra micro semiconctor). Generally, the graphics cards with NVIDIA display chips are called N cards, while the graphics cards with AMD display chips are called a cards[ 1]
computers with high configuration all contain graphics card computing core. In scientific computing, graphics card is called display accelerator[ 1]
Video chipset is the main processing unit of graphics card, so it is also called graphic processing unit (GPU). GPU is the first concept put forward by NVIDIA company when it released geforce 256 graphics processing chip. Especially when dealing with 3D graphics, GPU makes the graphics card less dependent on CPU, and completes part of the work originally belonging to CPU. The core technologies of GPU include hardware T & L (geometry conversion and illumination processing), cubic environment material mapping and vertex blending, texture compression and bump mapping, al texture four pixel 256 bit rendering engine, etc[ 1]
all kinds of 3D special effects supported by the graphics card are determined by the performance of the display chip, and what kind of display chip is used roughly determines the grade and basic performance of the graphics card, such as NVIDIA GT series and AMD HD series[ 1]
there are many ways to measure the quality of a graphics card. In addition to using test software to test and compare, there are many indicators for users to compare the performance of a graphics card. The main factors that affect the performance of a graphics card are the frequency of the graphics card, display memory and other performance indicators [1].
2. The CPU is used to perform mining tasks. Because the CPU needs many transistors to execute various instructions, many transistors are idle in a cycle. The speed is relatively slow
3, in order to enhance the ability of displaying images, the graphics card saves a lot of transistors that have nothing to do with the display function, so the graphics card can only display pictures, but it is much faster than the CPU in the task of displaying pictures. BTC needs to perform the same task as the graphics card, so the mining of the graphics card is faster than the CPU, So a card is more suitable for mining.
1. CPU is mainly optimized for serial instructions, while GPU is optimized for massively parallel operations
2. Modern multi-core CPU aims at instruction set parallelism (ILP) and task parallelism (TLP), while GPU is data parallelism (DLP)
3. GPU often has a larger bandwidth of memory, that is, the so-called video memory, so it will also have good performance in high throughput applications
the CPU needs strong generality to deal with various data types, and at the same time, it also needs logical judgment, and it will introce a lot of branch jump and interrupt processing. All these make the internal structure of CPU extremely complex. GPU is faced with highly unified, interdependent large-scale data and pure computing environment without interruption. GPU uses a large number of computing units and ultra long pipeline, but it only has very simple control logic and saves cache. The CPU not only occupies a lot of space by cache, but also has complex control logic and many optimization circuits. So unlike CPU, GPU is good at large-scale concurrent computing, which is suitable for password cracking
in short, CPU is a general-purpose operation. In short, it means brainless calculation and violent calculation. Whether it's 100 children sharing apples or simulating the earth, it can be decomposed into the most basic calculation of 1 + 1 = 2. GPU is specially designed to deal with high-order mathematical algorithms, such as calculating the relative positions of light source, object, viewpoint and shadow, which requires trigonometric functions to be piled up. The bitcoin digger uses SHA-256, a secure hash function invented by the US National Security Agency, which is generally used for password encryption and decryption. This algorithm can perform a large number of 32-bit integer right-rotate operations, which is very suitable for GPU which is good at large-scale concurrent computing and password cracking.
Jiulong jade has four unique characteristics:
first, it has unique connotation of dragon jade. Jiulong, dinosaur, Jasper, jade, nephrite, jadeite in one. Hence the name "Jiulong Jasper" is worthy of the name, loud and beautiful. It is the best national stone suitable for the belief of dragon jade culture in China
Second, it has huge, extra large, super large jade, rare stone resources, and its great advantage in block size. It is suitable for the huge demand of China's long-term development
thirdly, there are four types of jade of the existing dragon; There are also five types of jade. It covers many types of famous jade and stone in Chinese history. The existing original jade and its marble landscape painting; Pu jade and its hermit type; Ziyu and its shape stone and Longwen stone type; There are also Ziyu and Yuhua stone types, and Qinse jade and its strange stone types. Therefore, there are many types of dragon jade culture. The world is unique, very rare< 4. There are four types of natural jades of the same kind and heterogeneity in the history. There are also four famous jade in the history of the five elements in China. Therefore, the jade of Jiulong in Southeast China contains the later enlightenment of Chinese five element jade.
