The VIA Nano provides two of the most commonly used, SHA-1 and SHA-256, which are able to encrypt information at rates of up to 5 gigabits/sec.

IMO you have been lucky, or probably you are situated in a high humidity region. It's akin to not wearing seat belts and claiming one has been accident free.

WHERE is the Antistatic wrist band? Can't imagine that BFL chose to ignore basic safety measures.

This is a redone radeon hd 7970, and here's a review of the card
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7970-ghz-edition-review-benchmark,3232.html

Due to change in inflation scheme, what would be your best guess?

In my experience 80Plus Gold series PSU handle loads at the limit very well without heating up a lot. Vanilla 80Plus PSUs do not cut it with the heat output of the PSU, my two ANTEC 80 PLUS get very hot (touch thermometer), while the Seasonic and Superflowers 80Plus gold stay warm in a room with 110F ambient temps. 

Until the first ASIC product is verified, I do not think it's a good idea to create a sub forum.


Here's a TEM image of the Ivy bridge transistors,

Here's a pdf depicting the organization of Larrabee, the precursor of Phi.

I had a similar issue when i had daisy chained one 1x-1x riser cable with another 1x-16x cable. So removing one cable solved the problem for me. You can try to replace the 1x-16x riser cable with a replacement and see if it helps.

TLDR: Probably someone from North Carolina! AFAIK bfl is based off KCMO.

It's the internet service name of Time Warner. It's a very popular ISP in Kansas City Missouri. source (stayed in KCMO)

The 2TFLOP estimate for Larabee is for single precision floating point operation, while the 1TFLOP quoted for Phi is for double precision.

I think 200 Watts. Here are some pics, I can see the two 3x2  PCI-E power connectors.

Huge jump in network mining speed! Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? We are now around last year's high.

Great device to have. I got screwed in an accident because I am not (white / caucasian)!

Mind you it's 1TFLOPS Double Precision.. http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2012/06/17/latest-intel-xeon-processors-e5-product-family-achieves-fastest-adoption-of-new-technology-on-top500-list
IMO, no single chip GPU has that kind of performance for double precision arithmetic.

PROASIC FPGA is a compromise between ASIC and FPGA
http://www.actel.com/products/pa3/

Much Lower power consumption than SRAM FPGA.

Axcelerator FPGA can be programmed only once and looks like it's a bit faster than proASIC.
http://www.actel.com/products/axcelerator/default.aspx

IGLOO FPGA can be programmed multiple times because instead of anti-fuse, a flash cell is used. Very low power consumption.
http://www.actel.com/products/iglooseries/default.aspx

The largest device has 24,000 Flip Flops, or around 1/10 the size of Spartan6 LX 150
