Title: FPGA VCU1525 1900 mh/s Ethereum
Post by: markiz73 on June 10, 2018, 10:41:42 AM
Today i show you what i know so far about FPGA's and their possible mining capabilities.
As shown in the video, their hashrates on Ethereum for example could be enormous!
ASIC's are nothing compared to these possible hashrates.

how many threads/topics does VCU 1525 need?

0.999 Gb DAG file? Lol, this looks like it's only synthetic test, not real coin...
one comment posted about that video

There's something wrong with the shown hashrate based on the available memory bandwidth for this Xilinx FPGA card.

We know each hash of ETH requires 8192 bytes of memory access (ie. DAG access per hash is done by a 64 iteration loop with each iteration accessing 128 bytes of the DAG, thus 128 bytes x 64 iterations = 8192 bytes per hash). Now a hashrate of 1.9 GH/s means it would require around 15564.8 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth. In terms of bits this means that hashrate requires around 124518.4 gigabits per second.

This Xilinx card comes with 4x DDR4 DIMMS, with each DIMM providing a 64 bit data bus, thus the 4x DIMMS provide a total data bus width of 256 bits. The required memory bandwidth of 124518.4 gigabits per second (to get the 1.9 GH/s hashrate) means the DD4 DIMM module must have a speed per data pin of around 486.4 GHz (equivalently 486400 MHz). But there doesn't exist any DDR4 DIMM with data pin speeds which reach the needed 486.4 GHz.

So the DDR4 DIMMs used by this Xilinx card can't even provide the required memory bandwith to give the hashrate shown.

When I have heard about that miner I started thinking about selling my farms, I was hoping that it is fake, if it is fake then it is a great news :)

This. The video is total BS. And, I'm actively selling these boards -- that should tell you something.

Thanks! Your equipment gives out
Cryptonight - v1 14Kh / s 150W
Lyra2z        20.5Mh / s          150W

Is it possible to mine the ETH algorithm on it and what will the performance be?

It should possible (if somebody designs bitsreams) because the board has 16GB of mem. Perf wise, I have no clue.

The real kickers are the chips with 16GB of HBM2 on the stack. But I don't think there are any development boards for those yet.
