Huh, that's strange. I remember in the infancy of cryptocurrency mining (back before specialized ASIC hardware), OpenCL was far superior to CUDA, and AMD cards were doing 10X the hashrate for the price as OpenCL cards. What changed in the interim? Is SHA256^2 just a completely different workload than Tensorflow, or has Nvidia pulled ahead?
- fwip 7y agoIt's a different workload. Afaik, AMD cards are still better hash-per-dollar for the coins that are gpu-mineable.
