Title: AVALON ASIC has delivered first RIG (68GH/s Confirmed) 2nd out proof Post by: crazyearner on January 30, 2013, 09:45:50 PM O kso below is some posts and pictures of the new rig. And also updated with a 2nd rig from unknown source however this has 4 modules in it.

So what's this "secret" that will make Avalon worth it all in the end? Can we get a closer look at one of those 3 modular boards?

Can we get a closer look at one of those 3 modular boards? I'm assuming the "secret" is that you can add another board, boosting the hash speed to ~88Gh/s at under the same ~400W. Taadaaa!!!

So what's this "secret" that will make Avalon worth it all in the end? Can we get a closer look at one of those 3 modular boards? Hopefully someone will disassemble the unit after they report on the power consumption and hashrate. That's a massive single heatsink, I guess there are multiple modules that connect to the visible PCB 'backplane' via ribbon cables. Then 3 backplanes at ~22 GH/s @ ~6 watts per gigahash yields ~132w which could be easily powered by a pair of 6-pin PCIe connectors. Top of the unit looks like a bundle of just yellow and black so.. PCIe connectors. Can't wait for someone to tear this thing apart. Title: Re: Avlon has delivered first Acsic Post by: Luno on January 30, 2013, 10:25:10 PM Looks like the air intake for the PSU is close to the bottom PCB.
The heat sink fins are widely spaced, so little heat and a slow fan? 133W per heatsink.. You have to take out of the case, mine in the nude as tradition dictates.

That's...certainly an interesting plug. Hope it performs well for you!

Am sure once he gets to terms and grips with it he will use it. The thing I do not like is no instructions with it on how to use and its using Chinese plug. Would of expected to be made for US power. We can only await to see what the progress of this is. However I will be placing some orders for them in the next few hours for batch #2 Title: Re: Avlon has delivered first Acsic Post by: lucif on January 30, 2013, 11:53:25 PM [01:50] <jgarzik> mining!

I was a pessimist, did not think that any one could deliver and for that i crown myself as a duchebag. Title: Re: AVALON ASIC has delivered first RIG (68GH/s Confirmed) Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 31, 2013, 04:21:12 AM I was a pessimist, did not think that any one could deliver and for that i crown myself as a duchebag. Don't worry your ignorance and inability to accept corrections already did that for you in your other thread. To avoid any revisioning of history you weren't a pessimist you flat out claims it was IMPOSSIBLE to produce this product. Not that Avalon was a scam but that it simply couldn't be done. Of course as pointed out even IF Avalon was a scam your reasoning was still idiotic. For existing FPGA design the best can be had is 23MHps/J. There is no reason to anticipate an improvement in FPGA power efficiency, yes, there can be marginal reduction of overhead and the FPGA can be scaled up, but it's efficiency will not increase all that much. Based on existing designs we can anticipate 25MH/J for FPGA. There is nothing special abut ASIC, most ASIC vendors just use a custom programmed FPGA; this is called FPGA to ASIC conversion. So at best ASIC will be 50MHps/J; and i am being VERY generous here.

Possibly bad news for anyone who was backing another company and hoping to recoup their purchase costs quickly though. Only the lucky first wave of Avalon clients will manage that, lucky guys.

Bitcoin Foundation will have no excuse for not ripping their unit apart, so hopefully those pics and videos will soon be forthcoming. Jeff's blog makes clear that he wasn't supposed to receive his unit yesterday - it sounds like there's something planned PR-wise for today and the delay on Batch 2 orders also suggests that Avalon's waiting for something specific to occur.

Title: Re: AVALON ASIC has delivered first RIG (68GH/s Confirmed) 2nd out proof Post by: iCEBREAKER on February 07, 2013, 08:38:00 AM I suspected that as well. Especially since the extremely high profile first unit, hand delivered for review, is constantly freezing and requiring reboots.

Quote Re: Avalon ASIC users thread February 05, 2013, 08:35:10 #159 More good news. Machine uptime and cgminer uptime are both now 24 hours. Pool was BTC Guild, and stratum seems to most commonly use a share difficulty of 32.00000. Now going to play with p2pool some more, with higher difficulty rates. It sounds like a theory of a memleak is certainly plausible, at least. Re: Avalon ASIC users thread February 06, 2013, 03:27:36 #170 Survived 18 hours so far on p2pool without a restart, either machine or cgminer. Mining at difficulty 16.0, with stratum, to local p2pool/bitcoind.

That, or they decided that rather than finalize all the wafers they would just finish metal on one and see how it turned out before committing all their wafers. Now that they know there's no issue, they have to get everything finished for the rest of the wafers. Obviously that's just speculation and Avalon has (rather intentionally IMO) cultivated the idea that they won't give updates and products will just show up, so it's hard to say much at this point.

Sure, that's the predicted average. Machine/miner reliability, bad luck, the pool's cut, costs related to pool hopping and other factors definitely impact income. p2pool's income was something like 50% below predictions.

Set up eloipool with the difficulty set to some high value (eg. 64 with ShareTarget = 0x0000000003ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff). Mine with getwork, not getblocktemplate. And make sure roll-n-time is functional. That setup should be able to handle hundreds of Ghash/s easily. That's what I use for my FPGA farm. IIRC your pushpool and p2pool both hard-code the diff to 1. Isn't it why they can't keep up with the many getwork calls?

Isn't it why they can't keep up with the many getwork calls? Multiple answers... pushpool has several known inefficiencies... besides being single-threaded for database + network + rpc, it simply proxies every client getwork to bitcoind, with some rewriting. bitcoind cannot keep up with that, once the miner load (historically difficulty 1.0) reaches a certain point, the whole system cannot keep up. Pool ops either solve this by scaling up the number of bitcoind processes (machines), or run pool server software that supports some amount of internal work generation, easing bitcoind's load.
