RE: Gridcoin Technical Whitepaper ready for Peer Review
Power consumption note.
According to numbers in the whitepaper, setup i5 + gtx1060 delivers 4 895 598 GFLOPS. This would be an equivalent to 134 126 i5 processors and only 635 GPUs. As in this setup GTX delivers 98% GFLOPS, it might be more reasonable to assume that 98% of Gridcoin network GFLOPS is delivered by GPUs. Now the network would be equivalent to 1246 GTX 1060 cards and 5365 i5 processors (it comes surprisingly close to my guess-timations. With above assumptions energy usage would go substantially lower.
thank you hotbit i change it this evening, i will also reference your steemit article which is btw very interesting, maybe i'll source some sections :-)
change implemented, now gridcoin consumes much less! the reference to your steemit article is [21]
