Anyone else got one hosted pointing to Eligius?

I'm only showing 1.25TH for 24 hours now.  Huh



Please email zvi@ and rabi@ and we'll check it out.
The miners are configured for full power, but there might be some problem with your unit.
Take into account that it's the weekend in Israel, so expect a delay in the reply.

AM is not the latest crap in bitcoin world.  Wink



aaaactually, i beg to differ.

AM - 0.554 J/Gh at 11.52 Gh/s.
Spondoolies - 0.58 J/Gh at 7.5 Gh/s.



Not my thread, but I need to set the record straight.
Our ASICs can achieve above 10 GHs. It was just one corner measurement.
At the end, it's system efficiency. I saw three examples of systems based on AM3 in the wild, all of them above 1.1 W/GHs.
Out system is about 0.85 W/GHs at full power.
We've taped out our 2nd gen ASIC, and we'll be below 0.45 W/GHs at the system level in two months.

AM3 can't compete on 28nm, since it's "custom design", which means it will take at least 6 months to produce 28nm. Well in time for our 3rd gen.
Finally, we can compete on the price as well.

If I order today with hosting how long before it's up hashing? Also what access do I get to the miner? thx

It's the weekend in Israel. If you'll order today with BTC, it'll hash by Sunday.

Suggestion: On the SP10 summary page, 'Best Share' should be displayed in Metric prefix; That is, with k, M, G, T

eg. atm it displays:

Best Share
    6681579

it would be easier to read if it was:

Best Share
   6.6M

Cheers,
QG

It's best to email such suggestions and bug reports to support@spondoolies-tech.com
It will get captured by our zendesk

So happy I actually timed this GB right with the free shipping! Praying you don't raise your prices like Bitmain, should have enough BTC to order another in a couple weeks!

We don't raise prices, our prices are in $

No. If you give the client 5% coupon , it must to be valid.

Hold on! Don't heat up. Things move fast in Bitcoin world and if you received a 5% coupon it will be available no matter what.

Just send an e-mail to sales@ and you will have a new coupon and new product to order in a matter of minutes!

Thanks to worry about me.  If the company does not want to get money, get the others.
I received yesterday  3 discount coupon  from a friend and I bought S2 antminers.


Them is no problem of high custom duty, or noise.


It's very easy to send email to sales@spondoolies-tech.com. We'll solve any problem, quickly.
Same thing regarding custom.

... how they calibrate/characterize the temperature sensors. IIRC your temperature sensors are intentionally low-resolution: something like 10C,20C,30C,... What is the achieved accuracy of step-crossing temperature for your existing chips that were already manufactured?

Our Temperature Sensor's spec is +/- 5%. The +/- 5% represent limits with 3-sigma probability. Practically its accuracy is much better. Temperature Sensor of every produced chip is tested as a part of chip's production test. Automatic calibration is a part of the sensor so no any additional calibration is required. The Thermal sensor IP was bought from GUC and it's silicon proven.

That looks great.

As TSMC recently announced a longer lead-time for 28nm production, please reaffirm everyone that you aren´t affected by this.

Is this delay only for "new" orders, and your order was previously placed with them?

Thank you.

We don't order directly from TSMC. GUC pre-allocated our production slots. We're good regarding July and August batches.
We might be affected in our September batch. We'll know soon when we'll PO the ASICs for September order (beginning of June).

About Global Unichip:
It's TSMC subsidiary. Look at GUC board of directors here

Has the 28nm chip been taped out yet?

Hey, I missed you, my friend.

Yes, we've taped out. The project is on track regarding spec and dates.

Guy

Very nice.

I'm surprised you guys didn't announce it ASAP. Don't you know garnering preorders 101?

It seems that the most commonly missed deadline is tapeout so in my non-expert opinion the chances of delays are greatly reduced.

However still very skeptical of july delivery let alone august although I have a feeling I may be proven wrong by this company.

Is this blog post good enough ?

See, I'm getting better  Wink

... how is the exhaust air temperature measured? where is the sensor located and what type of sensor is it? (possible the name and model ) I assume the front/back temp are intake/exhaust air temp ...


It's the weekend in Israel, it might take few days to answer

Understood,

Btw, what is the command line for checking stats of the miner?

Regarding the temperature sensor, Harel replied:

We have one sensor on the MNG that monitor the incoming air and one sensor on each of the Main board monitoring the exhaust air.
It's TI LM75AIMX/NOPB, you can find the info here

For board related questions, please contact harel@ or benny@
For sw questions, please contact zvi@

Old debt. Some technical data and slides from RockerBox tapeout review done 10 days ago at Global Unichip.
Thanks. Could you ask them why they used TOGGLE_RATE 0.2? For SHA-256 TOGGLE_RATE should be 50%, this is pretty much a design goal for any one-way hash function.


This is part of our IP Wink

We reduced the engine toggle rate by using innovative algorithm implemented in the Verilog. No need for custom design, we can move fast between process nodes.
It's already working in the Hammer - proven design.

SP can you please provide a link to some rackmount ears for the SP10?

There are so many options, I just want some that work on the SP10 without going through the trial-and-error of ordering the wrong ones a few times.

PM me if you are worried that it may seem you are "endorsing" a product.

It's custom made. Please contacts sales@spondoolies-tech.com
We'll add it as a product in our store soon.

The ears we can provide are only the front side mounting ears and you will need to add some additional mounting element to the rear side.
 
We are planning to solve it for the SP30 and to provide ears for both sides that may fit most if not all racks.

Mechanical drawing of the mounting ears can be found here

Those fit only the front side of the SP10 unit.
For a proper installation of the unit in a rack you should use either a 19” rack mount shelf or an additional bracket to be mounted on the rear side of the unit.
Using the front rack mount ears only is not enough to hold the unit to the rack.

The SP30 rack mount ears will be provided with the unit and will fit standard 19” racks.

Indeed, I'm not an ASIC technical guy.
Point taken. After Passover holiday (towards the end of next week) we'll publish some more technical data.
I do however know the exact status of the project and it's timeline. And everything I've said is true.

As explained multiple time before. The 2nd gen is a simple die shrink of our 1st gen ASIC. It's essentially the same engine.
Well, there enough people here who understand that with a simple die shrink noise margins shrink faster than the consumed power.

Anyway, I will gladly wait for an update after Nissan 22nd, 5774.

Meanwhile, please enjoy a belated happy Purim song, because I don't know any Passover songs.

Does that mean that the May batch is from the same wafer as the April batch just a less optimal spot closer to the edges rather than in the middle?

No. The two May batches are from the same wafers lot, different from March and April.

No, that is super super max. Click on each of the presets then advanced and take a look at what each of those modes tries to set for an idea of what is going on.

that's "super super max." is what I am trying to point out. SP's document states "Default = 790mv" which I believe is incorrect. It should read Default =  683mv.

Please correct me if I am wrong Smiley

Cheers,
QG

This is the maximal voltage that the miner is *allowed* to reach in its dynamic scaling. Setting to 790mv is practically unlimited, it will stop somewhere between 670 and 710. depending on the temperature and the corner of the ASICs. If you want to make the miner more efficient (but less productive) you can set it to 660, 640 or even 600. I would not go under 580mv - some ASICs start to fail unless if you got a fast corner (but we were not lucky with our ASIC corners lately - only first batch can handle 550mv).
So far best configuration for first batch (April) is start-voltage:660, max-voltage:790, for second batch (early May) start-voltage:680, max-voltage:790.
I am working on making the scaling efficient on our latest batch (late May), hope to have results after the weekend.


What causes the variation between batches?

Normal ASIC production variations.
First batch was typical corner (middle of the bell shape curve)
Second and third batches were slow corner

All the miners will be within the 1.4 THs +- 10% published spec, hopefully on the plus side

Hello,

Is the 10% discount offer for people who purchased from other manufacturers still available for SP30 August 2nd Batch?


For the SP30: Yes, contact sales@spondoolies-tech.com
It's not available for the SP10 anymore

Thanks,

I see there are also no bundle offers anymore is that right?

No. We tried to simplify the web site and offerings.
