2018-09-09Cryptonight variant 2SChernykh1-0/+163
Contains two modifications to improve ASIC resistance: shuffle and integer math. Shuffle makes use of the whole 64-byte cache line instead of 16 bytes only, making Cryptonight 4 times more demanding for memory bandwidth. Integer math adds 64:32 bit integer division followed by 64 bit integer square root, adding large and unavoidable computational latency to the main loop.
