if I take x number of some fpga chips, assume a bunch of other things, here's how to do a rough estimate on the expected hashing rate.... That's what I'm after. I can't find that post...
It's easiest to do with Altera Cyclone chips, and roughly works out to:1,000 LEs = 1MH/s
Could be more in some cases, less in others, but that's a fairly good baseline. For Spartan-6 it's roughly:
1,000 LEs = 0.5MH/s
For high-performance families like Virtex or Stratix you should multiply by 3 or 4.
thanks! I'm very familiar with this page
