maybefbii saw a a pow function like this: input -> (sha3 -> Salsa20 expansion -> bzip2) -> (sha3 -> Salsa20 expansion -> bzip2) -> sha3. even if someone develops an ASIC/GPU algorithm for it, it will speed up bzip2 which will help us handle archival of all those exabytes of data the internet is generating.

moneromoooNSA approves
-
maybefbi:)
-
hycjust like sha2-256 ASIC development has improved SHA2 performance all over the internet
-
maybefbiIntel SHA extensions was introduced in 2013. who knows, may be sha2 pows in many coins led to instructions like SHA256RNDS2, SHA256MSG1, SHA256MSG2
-
sech1I saw that pow function too
-
sech1Even wrote code for it in xmrig :D
-
sech1It's not bzip2 there, it's BWT transform
-
maybefbiah yes
-
maybefbii bet BWT has more applications than bzip2
-
maybefbigoogling says "bioinformatics and computational biology, full-text compressed indexes, prediction and entropy estimation, and recent approaches in joint-source channel coding"
-
maybefbiand "hape analysis in computer vision, and in machine translation"

-
gingeropolousi mean, sure maybe? with randomx, we've put a bounty of increasing efficiency, performance, and speed of general compute.... BWT will benefit
-
gingeropolous*bounty on
-
maybefbilets assume everyone starts using ARM after Apple moves to ARM. will randomx test vectors still produce the same output?
-
hycdon't be an idiot
-
gingeropolousjesbut
-
hycof course the ydo
-
hycjust like they already do today
-
sech1I literally checked randomx mining on ARM 2 hours ago. Shares were accepted.

maybefbithanks. i didnt know.

maybefbiWASM doesn't implement IEEE 754-2008 standard completely. "WebAssembly uses the round-to-nearest ties-to-even rounding attribute, except where otherwise specified. Non-default directed rounding attributes are not supported."
-
hyctough luck for WASM
-
maybefbi"PowerPC processors (Macs until about 2006-2007, tons of current IBM servers) use a 128 bit format consisting of two doubles for long double, instead of the IEEE 754 extended format."

hycnobody cares

hycrandomX doesn't use long doubles
