Title: Possible TPM use to improve CPU mining? Post by: Un zafado cualquiera on July 03, 2011, 04:10:02 PM I was reading a lot of things and maybe I found something useful (or not). Because I am not programmer (not a savvy one, at least) I want to ask somebody if this is a posibility of improvement.

In argentina there are 3 million of computers with this module. Is possible to use this service or not. Title: Re: Possible TPM use to improve CPU mining?

Because I am not programmer (not a savvy one, at least) I want to ask somebody if this is a posibility of improvement. is can AFAIK only do sha-1, and we need sha-2.http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/files/resource_files/72563193-1A4B-B294-D07815857DD45716/SHA1-Impact_V2.0.pdf On this PDF says the TPM has an SHA engine.

Is possible to use this service or not. but i does not think in any way it would help much some VIA processors haves sha-2 engines, but they don't gives much Mhash Title: Re: Possible TPM use to improve CPU mining?

Maybe the miners are not aware of that... Is more...I think is possible... On the discussion about the FPGA miner use the function for verifying anyways.

Post by: wumpus on July 03, 2011, 04:51:35 PM TPMs are generally very slow chips, so it won't help you with mining at all.
