Scrypt relies on substantial amounts of memory, so is considered a «memory
hard problem» — differing from SHA - 256, which is raw processing power intensive.
As a result,
scrypt is known as a «memory
hard problem».
More particularly,
Scrypt is a «memory
hard problem».
Scrypt is a sequential memory -
hard function requiring asymptotically more memory than an algorithm that isn't memory -
hard, which means that you need more memory in your miners compared to blockchains that don't use
Scrypt.
Scrypt can be defined as a sequential memory -
hard function that requires asymptotically more memory than a regular algorithm.
