Computing power is an index to measure the processing power of bitcoin network, that is, the speed at which the computer calculates the output of hash function. For security purposes, bitcoin networks must perform intensive math and encryption-related operations. For example, when the network reaches the hash rate of 10Th/s, it means that 10 trillion calculations can be made every second.

In the process of mining bitcoin, we need to find its corresponding solution M. For any 64-bit hash value, there is no fixed algorithm to find its solution M, and we can only rely on the random hash collision of the computer. How many hash collisions a mining machine can make per second is the representative of its "computing power", and the unit is written as hash/s, which is the so-called workload proof mechanism POW.

unit of measurement

1 khz/sec = 1 0,000 hashes per second.

1 MH/s = 1, 000,000 hashes per second.

1 GH/s = 1, 000,000,000 hashes per second.

1 TH/s = 1, 000,000,000 hashes per second.

1 PH/s = 65438+ 0,000,000,000,000 hashes per second.

1 EH/s = 1, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes per second.
