  2. GPU mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_mining

    GPU mining is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to "mine" proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. [1] Miners receive rewards for performing computationally intensive work, such as calculating hashes, that amend and verify transactions on an open and decentralized ledger.

  3. List of Nvidia graphics processing units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics...

    This number is generally used as a maximum throughput number for the GPU and generally, a higher fill rate corresponds to a more powerful (and faster) GPU. Memory subsection. Bandwidth – Maximum theoretical bandwidth for the processor at factory clock with factory bus width. GHz = 10 9 Hz. Bus type – Type of memory bus or buses used.

  4. Hashrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashrate

    Hashrate is a measure of the total computational power of all participating nodes expressed in units of hash calculations per second. The hash/second units are small ...

  5. LINPACK benchmarks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINPACK_benchmarks

    The LINPACK benchmark report appeared first in 1979 as an appendix to the LINPACK user's manual. [4]LINPACK was designed to help users estimate the time required by their systems to solve a problem using the LINPACK package, by extrapolating the performance results obtained by 23 different computers solving a matrix problem of size 100.

  6. Heaven Benchmark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Benchmark

    Heaven and other benchmarks by UNIGINE Company are often used by hardware reviewers to compare performance of GPUs [1] [2] [3] and by overclockers for online and offline competitions in GPU overclocking [4] [5]. Running Heaven (or another benchmark by UNIGINE Company) produces a performance score: the higher the numbers, the better the ...

  7. Hardware acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_acceleration

    A cryptographic accelerator card allows cryptographic operations to be performed at a faster rate.. Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU).

  8. Algorithmic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_efficiency

    This operates at speeds comparable (about 2-10 times slower) with the CPU or GPU's arithmetic logic unit or floating-point unit if in the L1 cache. [8] It is about 10 times slower if there is an L1 cache miss and it must be retrieved from and written to the L2 cache , and a further 10 times slower if there is an L2 cache miss and it must be ...

  9. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    The salt is hashed with the password, altering the password hash mapping for each password, thereby making it infeasible for an adversary to store tables of precomputed hash values to which the password hash digest can be compared or to test a large number of purloined hash values in parallel.
