Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for energy efficient cryptocurrency (e.g., bitcoin) mining hardware accelerators with spatially shared message schedulers are described. In an embodiment, a plurality of mining engines perform one or more operations on cryptocurrency. The single scheduler processes a first portion of messages for two or more of the plurality of mining engines, and the pre-compute logic circuit processes a second portion of messages for the two or more mining engines. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed. 描述了涉及用于具有空间地共享的消息调度器的高能效加密货币(例如,比特币)挖掘硬件加速器的技术的方法和装置。在实施例中,多个挖掘引擎对加密货币执行一个或多个操作。单个调度器处理用于多个挖掘引擎中的两个或更多个挖掘引擎的消息的第一部分,并且预先计算逻辑电路处理用于两个或更多个挖掘引擎的消息的第二部分。还公开并要求保护其他实施例。
