1. An integrated circuit device that provides a compute module for a cryptocurrency miner that includes a miner controller, the integrated circuit device comprising:
a stats store;
compute engines, each compute engine configured to process a job and report if processing its job generated a candidate hit; and
a compute engine manager configured to:
receive jobs from the miner controller of the cryptocurrency miner;
distribute the jobs to the compute engines:
validate candidate hits reported by the compute engines; and
update statistical information in the stats store based on validation of the candidate hits reported by the compute engines.
