Abstract
Computerized apparatus using characterized devices such as memories for intensive computational applications such as blockchain processing. In one embodiment, the computerized apparatus comprises a computational appliance (e.g., stand-alone box, server blade, plug-in card, or mobile device) that includes characterized memory devices. These memory devices are associated with a range of performances over a range of operational parameters, and can be used in conjunction with a solution density function to optimize memory searching. In one embodiment, the ledger appliance can communicate with other ledger appliances to create and/or use a blockchain ledger so as to facilitate decentralized exchanges between untrusted parties. In some variants, the ledger appliance may additionally use an application programming interface (API) to dynamically generate blockchains on the fly. Various other applications are also described (e.g., social media, machine learning, probabilistic applications and other error-tolerant applications).
