GPU Accelerators Are the Blockchain Equivalent of Home Movers

TL;DR

Full Story

Outdated Information: Ethereum is pushing layer-2 protocols to adapt ZK-Proof processing

New Information: There’s a new open supply GPU accelerator that may assist these ZK-proof protocols develop and work sooner. 

Did y’all get that?

Neither did we. Let’s dive in…

A number of weeks in the past there was a push from ETH Daddy (Vitalik Buterin) to have protocols use zero data (zk) proofs – which is principally a method of speaking knowledge, with out exposing all the particulars.

(Much like how asking the query “are you over 25 – sure/no?” calls for much less particulars/specifics than “what’s your precise date of start?”).

Level is: Zk proofs assist to guard person privateness on Ethereum, and pace up an entire vary of processes.

Buuuut, additionally they take up a BUNCH of compute energy, to the purpose the place corporations have developed customized GPUs to assist course of issues sooner. 

“Cool, that is nonetheless sounding overseas” – us, whereas studying that.

These GPUs are the human equal of hiring movers while you transfer home. 

Certain, you’ll be able to pack all of the containers and transfer them your self. However except you’ve gotten a flatbed truck, there’s an excellent likelihood you’ll want movers for the larger items of furnishings.

These GPUs will assist with the heavy lifting so far as processing/transferring knowledge goes, dashing issues up total.

Which is neat, however what’s higher is that this:

Area and Time, the corporate accountable for creating this whiz-bang GPU and (extra importantly) the code that makes it so darn environment friendly, has open-sourced its software program!

That means anybody can use it/tweak it/construct on it, without cost.

A pleasant kumbaya second for the business!
