As shown in FIG. 5, the figure schematically shows a computing power module 50 in the intelligent computing device, and a combination of multiple computing power modules can be used in actual operation. The computing power module 50 is equipped with multiple computing power units 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506. The intelligent computing device can execute a specific encryption algorithm by recombining the connection and calculation sequence of multiple encrypted logic elements in each computing power unit (501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506), for example, for a specific The mining calculation of cryptocurrency. In this example, the smart computing device is connected to the first mining pool 51 and the second mining pool 52, and mines the cryptocurrency currency of each mining pool, and can be based on the previously obtained The rate of return on investment of a specific currency in each mining pool allocates computing power. In the initial setting, this example shows that the computing power units 501, 502, and 503 are connected to the first mining pool 51, and the computing power units 504, 505, and 506 are connected to the second mining pool 52.

The figure shows that computing power units 501 and 502 are connected to the first mine through computing power distribution. Pool 51, participates in the mining calculation of cryptocurrency A (511); computing power units 503 and 505 are connected to the first mining pool 51, and participates in the mining calculation of cryptocurrency B (512); power units 504 and 506 are connected to The second mining pool 52 participates in the mining calculation of cryptocurrency A (521); and the newly added computing power unit 507 is connected to the second mining pool 52 to participate in the mining calculation of encrypted currency C (522).

Then, when the smart computing device continues to calculate the ratio of profit to the cost of computing power invested in a period of time, obtain the return on investment of each cryptocurrency mining in the first mining pool 51 and the second mining pool 52, which can dynamically adjust the computing power The schematic diagram of the distribution of the computing power of the computing power units 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507 in the module 50 is shown in FIG. 8.

The figure shows that the smart computing device readjusts the computing power distribution of multiple computing power units in the computing power module 50 according to the return on investment of different cryptocurrencies in multiple mining pools (51, 52), and resets computing power if necessary The connection rules and calculation sequence in the encryption logic elements in the unit are adapted to the specific encryption algorithm. This example shows that the computing power units 501 and 502 are connected to the first mining pool 51 and participate in the mining calculation of the cryptocurrency A (511); the computing power unit 503 is connected to the first mining pool 51 and participates in the cryptocurrency B (512 ); the computing power unit 504 is connected to the second mining pool 52 and participates in the mining computing of the cryptocurrency A (521); and the computing power units 505, 506 and 507 are connected to the second mining pool 52 to participate Among them, the mining calculation of cryptocurrency C(522).

Comparing the distribution of computing power shown in Figure 7, it can be seen from Figure 8 that the smart computing device obtains from the return on investment of different mining pools the cryptocurrency C (522) of the second mining pool 52 has relatively high rewards, making the smart The computing device dynamically modifies the computing power unit, so that more computing power is allocated to the mining task of the cryptocurrency C (522) of the second mining pool 52. In this way, the smart operation is adjusted through the connection rules and calculation sequence of the computing power unit. The proportion of computing power provided by the computing device reaches the compensation that the optimization device can obtain.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of the intelligent computing device providing computing power distribution, in addition to dynamically adjusting the computing power ratio according to the mining investment return rate of different mining pools for different encrypted currencies, it is also necessary to reset the encryption logic in the computing power unit. The connection rules and calculation sequence of the components, or by burning the encryption function to support specific encryption algorithms, and the calculation time can be adjusted, so that each computing power module and computing power unit can adjust the schedule over time.
