Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Example:

In order to solve the problems of inconvenient maintenance and poor flexibility existing in existing digital currency mining machines, an embodiment of the present invention provides a digital currency mining machine, as shown in FIG. Schematic diagram of the first possible structure of a digital currency mining machine. Specifically, as can be seen from FIG. 1, the digital currency mining machine may include at least one hash board, each hash board may include at least one data processing circuit, and each data processing circuit may include at least one data processing module, Moreover, at least one data processing module is detachably installed on the computing power board.

Among them, Fig. 1 includes a hash board 11 in the digital currency mining machine, and the hash board 11 includes a data processing circuit 01, and the data processing circuit 01 includes two digital processing modules 111 and 112 as For example.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , it is a schematic diagram of a possible specific structure of a digital currency mining machine in an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, it is assumed that each computing power board includes only one data processing circuit, so the data processing circuit is not marked in the figure, and will not be described here. Specifically, as can be seen from Figure 2, it is assumed that the digital currency mining machine includes Q computing power boards, such as 11 to 1Q, where Q is a positive integer; each computing power board can include P data processing modules, such as 111～11P, wherein, P is a positive integer.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, at least one data processing module is detachably installed on the computing power board. Compared with the prior art, in the embodiment of the present invention, at least one data processing module in the digital currency mining machine is detachably installed on the corresponding computing power board, and when a certain data processing module appears In case of failure, the data processing module can be directly disassembled without replacing the entire hash board, which solves the problems of inconvenient maintenance and poor flexibility of digital currency mining machines.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , it is a schematic structural diagram of a data processing module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, as can be seen from FIG. 3, each data processing module may include a processing chip 21 and a storage unit 22, wherein:

The processing chip 21 can be used to call the task data in the storage unit 22, and obtain the task result based on the task data;

The storage unit 22 can be used to store task data.

It should be noted that the task data can be the task data corresponding to the corresponding processing tasks, and the processing tasks usually include data calculation tasks, such as digital currency mining tasks, data update tasks, such as calculation data update tasks, mining tasks, etc. Machine control tasks and any other tasks that can instruct digital currency mining machines to perform corresponding operations are not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Wherein, the digital currency in the embodiment of the present invention may include any digital currency, such as BTC (Bitcoin, Bitcoin), LTC (Litcoin, Litecoin), BTM (Bytom, than original chain), BCH (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin cash ), EOS, etc.

Preferably, the digital currency can also be ETC (Ethereum Classic, Ethereum Classic) or ETH (Ethereum, Ethereum), etc., which will not be described in detail.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the processing chip, the data processing module can also include an additional storage unit, which makes the data processing module's The memory can meet the high requirements of storage capacity and storage bandwidth for processing tasks, so it can not only improve the data processing efficiency of the data processing module, but also ensure the normal operation of the corresponding digital currency mining machines.

Specifically, the processing chip may be an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, Application Specific Integrated Circuit) chip.

For example, it can be an ASIC chip specially used for mining BTC, LTC, BTM, BCH, EOS, ETC or ETH, etc. Of course, it can also be an ASIC chip that can be used for mining other digital currencies, which will not be described in detail.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, the processing chip in the data processing module may be a corresponding ASIC chip. In actual mining (digital currency mining) applications, ASIC chips have the advantages of higher efficiency, lower power consumption, and lower cost than graphics cards and CPUs in graphics card mining machines. This makes the digital currency mining machine equipped with the data processing module in the embodiment of the present invention have the advantages of higher processing efficiency, lower power consumption and lower cost compared with graphics card mining machines commonly used in the industry.

Specifically, the processing chip 21 may be configured to call the task data corresponding to the data calculation task in the storage unit after receiving the data calculation task.

Optionally, "after receiving the data computing task" in the embodiment of the present invention may generally include: when the data computing task is received, or within a set period after receiving the data computing task. Among them, the setting period can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, as long as the actual data processing requirements can be met, such as 1Min (minute), 1Day (day) or 1Week (week), etc., which will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a data computing task generally refers to a computing task sent by a task server to a data processing module, such as a mining task.

Optionally, the task server and the data processing module can usually be directly connected, such as through a wired network or a wireless network. At this time, the data calculation task can be directly sent from the task server to the data processing module. For example, the task server can send the numbers 1 to 100 in the data computing tasks to the first data processing module, send the numbers 101 to 200 in the data computing tasks to the second data processing module, ..., the data computing tasks Numbers A01-B00 (both A and B are positive integers, and B=A+1) in the task are sent to the B-th data processing module and the like. Among them, the above-mentioned data calculation tasks 1-B00 can be distributed in different digital currency mining machines, and can also be distributed in different computing power boards, which will not be described in detail.

Of course, the task server and the data processing module can also be indirectly connected, such as through a corresponding intermediate device connection, etc. The intermediate device can usually be a corresponding controller or processor, and the controller or processor can usually be set in the corresponding control device. On the board, the control board can also be set in the same digital currency mining machine as the hash board where the data processing module is located. Wherein, between the task server and the intermediate device, between the intermediate device and the data processing module, there may also be a wired connection or a wireless connection. It should be noted that, at this time, the data calculation task may be sent by the task server to the intermediate device first, and then sent by the intermediate device to the data processing module. For example, the task server can send the data computing tasks to the intermediate device, and the intermediate device can send numbers 1 to 100 in the data computing tasks to the first data processing module, and send numbers 101 to 200 in the data computing tasks to the second In the data processing module, ..., the number N01 to M00 (both N and M are positive integers, and M=N+1) is sent to the Mth data processing module and the like. Similarly, the above-mentioned data calculation tasks 1-M00 can be distributed in different digital currency mining machines, and can also be distributed on different computing power boards, which will not be described in detail.

Optionally, in actual operation, in order to save network bandwidth resources, a corresponding proxy server, such as a switch, may also be set between the task server and the data processing module, or between the task server and the controller or processor.

This is because, usually, the distance between the digital currency mining machine and the task server is relatively long, and one task server needs to establish connections with multiple digital currency mining machines. For example, multiple digital currency mining machines can be distributed in different mining farms, and different mining farms can be distributed in different regions, and the task server used to issue processing tasks to these digital currency mining machines only can be placed in one place. If there is no proxy server, each digital currency mining machine needs to establish a connection with the task server, which may increase the load on the task server, affect the data processing efficiency of the task server, and increase the cost; moreover, different digital currency mining The network where the computer is located may also be quite different, which may affect the security of data transmission.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, one or more than two digital currency mining machines in the same local area network can be combined into a group, and a connection can be established with a proxy server in the local area network, and through the proxy server The communication link with the task server implements data interaction with the task server, which will not be described in detail.

Similarly, the connection between the task server and the proxy server, between the proxy server and the controller or processor, or between the proxy server and the data processing module may also be wired or wireless.

Specifically, the processing chip 21 may include at least one processing unit, such as 211-21N, where N is a positive integer, and the storage unit 22 may include at least one storage sub-unit, such as 221-22M, where M is a positive integer, wherein:

Each computing unit may correspond to at least one storage subunit, and each storage subunit may correspond to one computing unit.

For example, assuming that the processing chip 21 includes 8 processing units, such as 211-218, and the storage unit 22 includes 32 storage sub-units, such as 2201-2232, then the structure of the processing chip 21 can be as shown in Figure 4, which is based on A schematic structural diagram of the processing chip 21 in the embodiment of the invention.

In the processing chip 21 shown in FIG. 4 , each processing unit may correspond to four storage subunits, and each storage subunit may correspond to one processing unit. Of course, in the actual application process, the correspondence between processing units and storage subunits can also be a many-to-many correspondence, such as each processing unit can correspond to at least one storage subunit, and each storage subunit can correspond to at least one Processing units, etc., so that when different processing units need the same task data, they can access the same storage sub-unit to call the task data, and the same task data can only be stored in one memory space, avoiding Unreasonable occupancy of the memory space is avoided, thereby greatly saving the memory space of the storage sub-unit, and improving the memory usage efficiency of the storage sub-unit.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5 , it is a schematic structural diagram of a processing unit in an embodiment of the present invention. Taking the processing unit 211 as an example, specifically, as can be seen from FIG. 5, the processing unit 211 may include a control subunit 2111 and a read/write subunit 2112, wherein:

The control subunit 2111 can be used to control the read-write subunit 2112 to perform data processing on the storage unit 22;

The read-write subunit 2112 can be used to perform data processing on the storage unit 22 under the control of the control subunit 2111 .

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control subunit 2111 can generally be a corresponding data processing device, as long as it can realize the control of the read-write subunit 2112 and the corresponding data operation. Moreover, the control subunit 2111 may be a hardware device, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit), an MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit) or other control devices. Of course, the control subunit 2111 may also be a software device, such as program code, logic algorithm, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, the control subunit in the embodiment of the present invention can also be specifically a corresponding dedicated digital currency kernel, such as a dedicated BTC kernel, a dedicated LTC kernel, a dedicated BTM kernel, a dedicated BCH kernel, or a dedicated EOS kernel.

Preferably, the dedicated digital currency kernel may be an ETH dedicated kernel or an ETC dedicated kernel, which will not be described in detail here.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control subunits in all the processing units in the processing chip can also be integrated into one core, which will not be described in detail.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the reading and writing subunit 2112 can generally be a corresponding data reading and writing device, as long as it can realize processing operations such as reading, deleting, inserting, and updating task data in the storage unit 22 . Moreover, the read-write subunit 2112 can be a hardware device, such as a CPU, an MCU, a read-write card, or other read-write devices. Certainly, the reading and writing subunit 2112 may also be a software device, such as program code, logic algorithm, etc., and this is not limited in any way.

Specifically, the control subunit (such as 2111) can be used to send a call instruction to the read-write subunit (such as 2112) after receiving the data operation task, and receive the task data returned by the read-write subunit (such as 2112), and Based on the task data, the task result corresponding to the data operation task is obtained;

The read-write subunit (such as 2112) can be used to read the task data corresponding to the data operation task from the storage unit 22 after receiving the calling instruction, and return the task data to the control subunit (such as 2111).

It can be seen from the foregoing that the data calculation task can usually be a data calculation task sent directly by the task server to the control subunit (such as 2111), or it can also be a data calculation task sent by the proxy server to the control subunit (such as 2111), or it can be Corresponding intermediate devices, such as controllers or processors, send data operation data to control subunits (such as 2111).

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, one task server can correspond to at least one proxy server, and one proxy server can correspond to at least one mining machine. For example, one task server corresponds to multiple mining farms, and each mining farm includes multiple A digital currency mining machine, and each mining farm has a proxy server, etc., which will not be described here.

For example, assuming that the entire communication link is composed of a mining pool server, a proxy server, a controller in a digital currency mining machine, and a data processing module, the execution of a data computing task may include the following process:

In the first step, the task server can first send the data calculation tasks that all digital currency mining machines need to process to the proxy server;

In the second step, the proxy server can distribute data computing tasks to at least one digital currency mining machine;

In the third step, the controller in each digital currency mining machine can receive the data calculation tasks that the digital currency mining machine needs to process;

In the fourth step, the controller in each digital currency mining machine distributes the data calculation tasks that the digital currency mining machine needs to process to at least one control subunit in the data processing module;

In the fifth step, each control subunit reads a specific task in the data operation task, and sends a call instruction to the corresponding read and write subunit;

In the sixth step, each read-write subunit calls the operation data corresponding to the data operation task in the corresponding storage unit, and returns the operation data to the control subunit;

In the seventh step, each control subunit performs task processing according to the received operation data, and obtains task results;

In the eighth step, each control subunit returns the obtained task result to the controller.

Of course, after returning the task result, the controller can also verify the task result, and then return the correct task result to the proxy server, so that the proxy server can return it to the mining pool.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data operation task can generally include the corresponding task instruction signal and the storage address (or data number, data code) of the task data, and the task instruction signal can usually be the corresponding digital signal, analog signal or level signal, etc.; the storage address of the task data can usually be the memory address of the corresponding task in the storage unit. Moreover, the corresponding task identification can also be included in the data computing task, so that the mining pool, proxy server, controller or control subunit can distinguish the data computing tasks to be processed by different mining machines, different computing power boards or different data processing modules .

Similarly, the call instruction can usually also include the storage address (or data number, data code) of the task data, so that the control subunit 2111 or the read-write subunit 2112 can distinguish different memory areas, and control the read-write subunit 2112 in the corresponding The required task data is read from the memory area of the memory area, and the read task data is returned to the control subunit 2111.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data operation task can also be a single instruction signal, such as digital signal 110, digital signal 010, high-level signal or low-level signal, etc., to inform the control subunit that task processing is required , after that, an operation command can be sent again, which carries the operation task and task data identification (such as the storage address of task data, data number, data code, etc.), to instruct the control subunit to use a certain storage address in the storage unit 22 The task data on the above is used for task processing.

Of course, the corresponding relationship between the data operation task and the task data, and/or the corresponding relationship between the call instruction and the task data can also be preset, so that the data operation task, and/or, the call instruction does not need to carry the storage of the task data. address, thereby saving network bandwidth and improving the efficiency of data processing.

It should be noted that, in the figure, the serial data processing circuit includes K serial data processing modules as an example, wherein K is a positive integer. Therefore, it is possible to ensure low current operation, improve the power conversion efficiency of the data processing circuit, and avoid large circuit loss.
