INTRODUCTION TO FPGA

FPGA is a hardware circuit that a user can program to carry out one or more logical operations. Taken a step further, FPGAs are integrated circuits, or ICs, which are sets of circuits on a chip – that’s the “array” part. Those circuits, or arrays, are groups of programmable logic …

ACORN FPGA MINING ACCELERATOR

In July 2018, Squirrels Research Lab announced the creation of Acorn FPGA, mining accelerator for GPU miners. While high-performance GPU’s used to be the best solution to mine multiple algorithms, they lack optimization for some tasks that exist in the algorithm chain. That is what gives a lot of potential …
