MAA Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello, Please add benchmark (Hash/sec) for some popular cryptocurrencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We've already got a Hash benchmark for CPUs that also can harness hardware acceleration (IA SHA x86 instruction set extension) if available. We've also got OpenCL based GPGPU Hash benchmark in the AIDA64 GPGPU Benchmark Suite that you can launch from AIDA64 / main menu / Tools / GPGPU Benchmarks. IMHO we're pretty much covered on hash benchmarks without specifically targeting any certain cryptocurrencies individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAA Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 As i see in AIDA 64 Help: "CPU Hash This integer benchmark measures CPU performance using the SHA1 hashing algorithm" But many cryptocurrencies uses double SHA256. Also, many cryptocurrencies uses another hash algo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes, there are many Hash algorithms out there, and we've picked the one back in the day that was the most popular by the time. We can debate on whether it's outdated or not by today's standards, but picking just one of the many hashing algorithms would equally be as questionable There's no universal standard, so we have to pick one. We may relieve the current SHA1 based benchmark sometime in the future, but it won't happen this year for sure, since we're already pretty much booked up about improvements and new features until Santa comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
