Ethereum: What is the approximate hash man?
Ethereum relies on a comprehensive cryptographic system that provides transactions and manages new units. The core of this system lies the concept of Hashov used to create unique fingerprints for each transaction, block and intelligent contract. But how fast can people calculate these hash?
Haš’s tariffs and mathematical operations
To find out what we are talking about, let’s dive from a mathematical point of view.
* Percentage of hash : This applies to the number of hash operations that the computer can perform per second.
* Mathematical operations needed for blockheader-to blockhash : In Ethereum, each block of a block of mathematical instructions that the network performs. These instructions include:
+ Verification of transactions in the block
+ Calculation of time mark and hash block
+ Creating a unique digital signature (using a secret key)
+ Add new blocks to blockchain
* Approximate hashte : The estimated time required for a person to perform these mathematical operations is approximately 1,000 to 2000 times slower than a modern computer.
How fast can people calculate?
To put it in perspective:
- A professional cryptographer can spend several days or weeks in a single block with about 10-20 hours.
- A qualified programmer with a decent Internet connection can perform mathematical operations based on milliseconds (for example, less than 1 second).
- Even a slightly fast computer will take thousands to tens of thousands to complete the block.
How fast are people compared to supercomputers?
To give an idea of how many slow people is compared to supercomputers, think about it:
- A high-performance computer cluster can perform approximately 1-2 exflop (calculations per million billion per second).
- On the contrary, the average speed of modern computer processing is in the range of tens or hundreds of Gigahertz (GHz). For example::
+ Intel Core i9 processor: Up to 5.3 GHz
+ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card: about 1.7 GHz
Conclusion
Ethereum hashrat and mathematical operations are complex tasks that require considerable computational power. While people can perform these calculations relatively light, we still do not reach the speed of calculations available for modern supercomputers.
As the Ethereum network continues to grow and improve, it is necessary to take into account the potential consequences for cryptography, safety and scale. One day we will see the development of more effective algorithms or alternative cryptographic techniques that can overcome some of these limitations. So far, however, people will continue to play an important role in maintaining the integrity and safety of the Ethereum network.
