Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for an energy-efficient cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin) mining hardware accelerator with a spatially shared message scheduler are described. In an embodiment, a plurality of mining engines perform one or more operations for a cryptocurrency. A single scheduler processes a first portion of a message for two or more mining engines of the plurality of mining engines and pre-computation logic circuitry processes a second portion of the message for the two or more mining engines. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques utilizing fine-grained bitcoin engine deactivation for yield recovery, performance, and/or power management are described. In an embodiment, a configurable compute tile comprising a plurality of cryptocurrency mining engines. Logic circuitry causes deactivation of one or more cryptocurrency mining engines from the plurality of cryptocurrency mining engines based at least in part on a request for deactivation of the one or more cryptocurrency mining engines. The logic circuitry adjusts a nonce search resolution for one or more active cryptocurrency mining engines of the plurality of cryptocurrency mining engines in response to the request for deactivation. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
