X16R bitstream on FPGA Xilinx VU9P Stage 1

My name is Steven Mostovoy. In this video, you will see the FPGA cards and the X16R algorithm running on them: http://multipool01.warphash.com/site/... We have completed the most difficult part of the project - we have put all the algorithms together and launched them as one bitstream X16R. FPGA is a technology covered in darkness, there are rumors that sly developers have written everything a long time ago and now they mine secretly and receive some crazy profits and are not willing to share with anyone. We probably are the first team that shows the operation of X16R algorithm on FPGA Xilinx VU9P cards. We are now at Stage 1, which is optimization of the algorithm and clock frequency. This is the long path from 1 mega hash to the maximum possible 600 mega hash. In February of 2018, we started working on the FPGA project - this is a long and difficult process of adapting FPGA for mining tasks. We optimized the FPGA cards themselves, improved cooling, write algorithms and modify the hard memory to improve the performance. My previous video showed that there are professionals, beginners and people who are just interested in the topic among you. I will answer questions from the last video here: 1. We can divide all related to the production of FPGA cards can to three categories: Xilinx is an American company that invented FPGA. They are the leader in the production of chips for FPGA. Altera is also an American company. In 2015, Intel bought Altera for $ 16 billion. the rest of the world who buys chips from Xilinx and Altera to produce custom cards 2. Is it the same memory in FPGA cards and regular PC? No, it's different 3. How powerful is the cooling system? Does it make a lot of noise? The FPGA cooling system is similar to GPU cooling systems, and the noise level is about the same. 4. How big is the demand for FPGA cards in other industries not related to mining? Mining is the only industry where FPGA are not well spread today. 5. What is the difference between an FPGA card and a GPU? The maximum consumption of the FPGA card is 300 watts, the GPU is 200, maybe 250 watts. One FPGA card will replace 48 1060 cards with hash rate (1080TI - 15 maybe 20 cards). This is a significant difference if you are a farmer with 1000 or more GPU cards. 6. How much will you charge for bitstream upgrade? What if you will charge more then 50% as developer fee? I cannot announce the specific numbers right now, because we have several algorithms in development. I hope the developer fee will be less than 30%. Prices for bitstreams start from 50 US dollars and developer fee start from 5%. 7. It would be interesting to see the manufacturing itself including assembling of boards. Do you own the production or use third-party factories? If it's yours, how expensive and complicated it is? How easy is it now to organize such manufacturing in China? If we are talking about a full production cycle, then no one in the world, except for two companies, can make FPGA chips. FPGA chips manufacturing costs crazy money to set up and it will take a long time. Let say we already have FPGA chips, then the manufacture of boards is associated with the development of architecture and depends on the order quantity. If you want to produce 100 cards, then the cards will be extremely expensive. If we are talking about thousands and tens of thousands of cards: OEM can be placed for this production by your own design or ours. The whole process is quite simple, but it takes 2 to 6 months to design the board, develop first samples, apply for production. We will show the manufacturing of cooling and building our rigs, but we do not want to show the rest or we cannot due to some NDA. 8. What is more profitable to mine on FPGA cards? I don’t know how to answer this question, because 99 percent of FPGA card holders are not mining very profitable coins, and everywhere where they go it become sad, so that’s why there are people like us. We develop bitstreams for FPGA. Today, there are four working algorithms - everything else is either a joke, or a lies. I am talking about only public ones. Naturally, noone know what secret miners have developed and using in their basements now, but noone knows if they really exist or not. thank you for attention!
