Distribution of jobs among compute modules of a cryptocurrency miner is disclosed. A cryptocurrency miner may include a serial bus, compute modules, and a controller. The controller may receive a candidate block, generate jobs based on the candidate block, and distribute the jobs among the plurality of compute modules by issuing a job submit command to the compute modules via the serial bus. The job submit command may comprise block sets that at least partially define the plurality of jobs. The block sets may include a plurality of midstates that correspond to a plurality of message blocks.

Cryptocurrency miner and job distribution

A cryptocurrency miner includes compute modules and a controller. Each compute module includes a stats store, a manager, and compute engines. The controller is coupled to the compute modules via a serial bus and distributes one or more jobs to the compute modules via the serial bus. Each manager distributes jobs received by its respective compute module among the compute engines of its respective compute module. Each compute engine processes a job and reports a candidate hit found by processing the job. Each manager validates a candidate hit reported by one of the compute engines of its respective compute module, reports the validated candidate hit to the controller; and updates statistical information in the stats store of its respective compute module based on validation of the candidate hit.

Cryptocurrency miner and statistical built-in self tests

Multicast reading of compute module registers is disclosed. A cryptocurrency miner comprises a serial bus, compute modules, and a miner controller coupled to the compute modules via the serial bus. The miner controller issues a multicast read command via the serial bus and receives values from respective registers of a first plurality of compute modules. The miner controller may initialize the compute modules with register set configurations that identify respective registers and latencies for returning values from such registers.

Cryptocurrency miner and multicast read

A cryptocurrency miner includes a serial bus, compute modules, and a controller. Each compute module includes upstream ports, downstream ports, a pass-through buffer coupling the upstream ports to the downstream ports, and a serial bus interface coupled to the serial bus via the first upstream ports and the first downstream ports. The controller controls operation of the compute modules via commands on the serial bus. The serial bus includes bus segments between respective upstream and downstream ports of the compute modules.

Cryptocurrency miner and device enumeration

An intravascular catheter may include a distal end for insertion and a proximal end. The distal end for insertion may terminate with a tip. It may define at least two openings, of which one is the proximal-most in the distal end. The distal tip may include a first radiopaque marker that is discretely positioned at the proximal-most opening and radiographically distinguishes the proximal-most opening from the rest of the distal end. The distal tip may also include a second radiopaque marker that marks the tip.

Intravascular catheter with positioning markers and method of placement

A processor includes a processor core and a micro-op cache communicably coupled to the processor core. The micro-op cache includes a micro-op tag array, wherein tag array entries in the micro-op tag array are indexed according to set and way of set-associative cache, and a micro-op data array to store multiple micro-ops. The data array entries in the micro-op data array are indexed according to bank number of a plurality of cache banks and to a set within one cache bank of the plurality of cache banks.
