Evaluating Memory-Hard Proof-of-Work Algorithms on Three Processors
Summary: Benchmarks memory-hard PoW across CPU, GPU, and Intel KNL under varying threads and scratchpad sizes. GPUs consistently dominate; memory-footprint sensitivity motivates CryptoNight with configurable scratchpads as the most egalitarian choice. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
