FPGA controller

TIMEOUT

  • TIMEOUT的有效值范围为[0,255],FPGA controller根据TIMEOUT的配置来控制申请/计算任务的时间。当TIMEOUT值配置为1时,FPGA controller会每隔0.033s申请一次任务,也表示芯片已计算完当前HASH区间。
  • TIMEOUT配置与申请/计算任务时间间隔的公式为
 TIME_OF_MINER_FINISH_HASH_RANGE = TIMEOUT * 0.033s
 TIMEOUT = TIME_OF_MINER_FINISH_HASH_RANGE / 0.033s
  • 若FPGA controller连接的一个小模块上的计算能力为10GHs(10个芯片,每芯片1G),则FPGA controller申请任务的时间间隔为
 2^32 / 10*1000*1000*1000 = 0.4s
 0.4s/0.033s = 12 # TIMEOUT应配置为12
