...Ariel Torrente NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis Pentium Flaw Ariel Torrente NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis 7/27/2013 Pentium Flaw The Pentium flaw also nicknamed the Pentium FDIV bug, was an identified error in the Intel P5 Pentium floating unit. The presence of the bug can be checked manually by performing the following application that uses native floating numbers, including Windows Calculator or Microsoft Excel in Windows 95/98 (Pentium FDIV bug). The Pentium flaw was discovered byProfessor Thomas R.Nicely at Lynchburg Collwge,Virginia USA (Emery, Vince). Dr.Thomas R Nicely is a mathematic professor, noticed a small difference in two sets of numbers, he always double-checks his work by computing everything twice, two different ways (Emery, Vince). Dr.Nicely spent months successively eliminating possible causes such as PCI bus errors and compiler artifacts (Emery, Vince). Intel wanted to keep to keep the Pentium flaw a secret, after Intel testers discovered a division error in the Pentium chip (Emery, Vince). Intel managers decided that the error wouldn’t affect many people, therefore no one outside of the company was not informed (Emery, Vince). The pandemonium over Intel’s Pentium chip cost the company millions of dollars and could have been prevented and became an uproar on the internet (Emery, Vince). This was Intel’s first mistake and the company was given a reputation that made Intel not a trustworthy company and not disclosing that information made them seem to be hiding a...

The LGA 1156 connector LGA 1156, also known as Socket H or H1, is an Intel desktop CPU socket. LGA stands for land grid array. Its incompatible successor is LGA 1155. The 1156 is the number of pins in the socket, its designed to take the 1156 pin processor. What processors is it used with? Intel Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon What is its purpose on the motherboard? LGA 1156 socket allows the following connections to be made from the processor to the rest of the system. * PCI-Express 2.0 ×16 for communication with a graphics card * DMI for communication with the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). This consists of a PCI-Express 2.0 ×4 connection * FDI for communication with the PCH, this consists of two display connections * Two memory channels for communication with DDR3 SDRAM Basically the LGA 1156 socket connects the processor with the motherboard. Intel H55 chipset The Chipset shows what the motherboard can possible do or not. Every computer have a Northbridge chipset. It’s main purpose is to make the link between the processor and the rest of the computer (graphic card, USB ports, hard drive, etc.) but the utility of a Northbridge vary from chipset to chipset, some will act also as a graphic card and on others chipsets, they may also manage the memory. What processors is it used with...

NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw The Pentium flaw began to be noticed on a public level in 1994. This was a huge flaw considering that the Pentium processor was used in 80% of the personal computers worldwide. The microprocessor is the heart of the computer and controls all of the operations and calculations that take place. “Flaws are not uncommon in complicated integrated circuits and most of them go unnoticed by the user” (Fleddermann, 2004). However, the Pentium flaw was very different. It caused incorrect answers when preforming double-precision arithmetic and was easily detected by the users. The first time that it was noticed, was by a university researcher. He noticed that the results of some of his calculations were incorrect. They began to do test on whether or not the microprocessor was flawed. “Using spreadsheet software, the user was able to take the number 4,195,835, multiply it by 3,145,727, and then divide that result by 3,145,727. As we all know from elementary math, when a number is multiplied and then divided by the same number, the result should be the original number. In this example, the result should be 4,195,835. However with the flaw, the result of the calculation was 4,195,579” (Crothers, 1994). Intel originally denied that there was even a flaw. Only after it become clear to the public that there...

...Unit 1: Assignment 1: Intel Processor Transistor Count Kellie L NT1110 Intel Processor Transistor Count After researching through several websites and reading Chapter 1 about the “Intel Processor Transistor Count”, I was able to get a much better understanding of how “Moore’s Law” actually works. The graph table I found and made my on paper drawing of (gatotkacatulanglunak.wordpress.com) presents the processor model, the year that each model was created from 1971-2011, and the transistor count from 2,300-2,600,000,000. During late 2008- early 2009 the 65-nanometer Tukwila Itanium Processor was released. This processor could run at up to 2GHz, with “dual-integrated” memory controllers and use Intel’s “quick path” interconnect instead of a “front-side bus”. This processor had 2 billion transistors on one chip (Rob Shiveley, spokesman for Intel). Based on what I have learned from my reading assignment and the graph table I have found online showing “Moore’s Law” the growth of processor transistor counts from 1971- 2011 doubling every two years, sometime around the years 2019-2020 there will be a processor with 100 billion transistors on one chip. I also predict that not until the year 2026 will we have processors with up to 1 trillion transistors on one chip. Throughout the years graphed, the growth from 1971- now seems pretty reasonable, mainly because the growth is steadily growing. However, with the advanced technology we have today...
