Jala rpi screen shot ... mining 256diff - using approx 3% CPU
Click to see:
How much do you think the rPi could handle? If a SC Single is ~10x as much hashpower, are we gonna see ~10x as much CPU usage?
No the CPU usage isn't directly linear.
However, USB seems to be the larger factor in CPU usage on the rpi.
My driver also doesn't linearly increase the polling for work results - with the Jala, it polls more often than needed since latency is still an issue when it takes almost 1s to complete a nonce range.
The 50or60GH/s device will need polling for results about twice as often as I do with the Jala
Sending work to it of course is 10x as much and processing replies is also 10x as much.
Anyway, we'll see once I get one ... not sure when yet.
