    Computing bandwidths of various cards under various generations of PCI-E lanes

    Posted: 20 May 2022 10:59 AM PDT

    Note: This is not a post about cryptography but does reference Ethereum as a model to use for exploration of data bandwidths between a GPU and the PCI-E lanes available.

    I'm writing my term paper on bandwidth restrictions between varying generations of PCI-E lanes using the 1x interface of the lane and exploring modern bandwidth restrictions when mining using the latest GPUs.

    GPU risers themselves use the 1x lane and I've been looking at the PCI-E wiki to analyze these restrictions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

    Now I know my Motherboard supports PCI-E 2.0 (12x) and PCI-E 3.0 (1x), which all my GPUs are plugged into the 2s.

    I sat down and did the math to which became confused:

    We can speculate under the notion we're mining Ethereum. Ethereum Hash => 64 hexadecimal characters or 256 bits. RTX 3090 - 125 MH/s (Megahashes a Second) close to average. How many bits? 1 MegaByte (MB) = 1000000 Bytes. Therefore we can substitute bytes with hash in this case as they're near synonymous. 125 MH/s = 125 * 1 H / (1000000 MH) = 125000000 H/s. Now convert hash to bits. 125000000 H/s = 125000000 * 256/1 bits/hash = 32000000000 b/s (bits/second). Finally convert bits/second to MegaBytes and GigaBytes. Remember 1000000 Bytes = 1 MB and there's 8 bits in a byte. Therefore 1 MB (MegaByte) = 8000000 b. 32000000000 b/s = 1 MB / (8000000 b) = 4000 MB/s. MB: 4000 MB/s. GB: 4 GB/s. Therefore the RTX 3090 (125 MH/s) requires a data bandwidth of 4 GB/s. 

    Now I'd like to know how computing 125 MH/s while passing over 4 GB/s is handled via the PCI-E. As denoted above my connection only supports up to .500 GB/s. Does it roll out in batches over the interface over a given time?

    Any input is appreciated, thanks!

    chipset question about Qualcomm snapdragon's

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:27 AM PDT

    So i noticed that, my snapdragon 865+ has an L1 cache of 512kb but the newer snapdragon 870 dropped the L1 cache to 1kb. Furthermore looking at some of the top mobile processors, they have smaller L1 caches than many older chips, none so low as the tiny 1kb on the snapdragon 870. I am curious why this is the case. Why would a smaller L1 cache be an asset? Also why are the newest mobile processors coming out with adjustable L caches? Finally how are they able to adjust the L caches on the fly?

    PCIE Board size spec

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:00 AM PDT

    I see a lot of card that from the outside don't follow the PCIE spec with the no component zone on top? It seems so many card have housings that go all away around. Does this not cause any issues?

    What comes first, the manufacuring process (node lithography like tsmc 5nm) or the design (like apples m1 chip)?

    Posted: 19 May 2022 12:06 PM PDT

    I have very little knowledge about chip manufacturing, i just know tsmc is likely the worlds most important company and it is incredibly hard to have the ability to manufacture chips. My question is who "invents" the 5nm, the 4nm, the 2nm processes? Is it Intel, Amd, Apple who do the research and design, and is it tsmc who then "just" manufactures it, or are Tech companies taking TSMC's design of a process and create their products with tsmc "new technology" as a baseline?
