摘要：

This article describes the architecture and implementation of cointerra's first-generation bitcoin mining processor, goldstrike 1, and how it was used to design a complete bitcoin mining machine called terraminer IV. Because of high power density in the bitcoin mining processor, delivering power and cooling the die posed enormous challenges. This article describes some of the solutions adopted to overcome these challenges.
