CASE: Oilwell Cable Company, Inc. Question 1: The advantage of proceeding without passing it by the team is that the process will be much faster and somewhat cheaper. Norm runs considerable risk, however, if he does not discuss the microprocessor decision with his production team. If he does not pass the decision by the team, they may assume that it is a management attempt to reduce the size of the work force. The case makes it clear that the company depends on a small, loyal workforce

Abstract In this research paper I will be discussing the bug that was discovered and reported in 1994. The Intel P5 chip was found to have a floating point unit bug that made digital divide operation in algorithms flaw after the 4th decimal point. I will also be touching on the contributions of Professor Thomas R. Nicely and the time line on which he brought attention to the bug from the Intel P5. The Pentium FDIV bug The Pentium FDIV bug was first discovered by a professor named Thomas R. Nicely

The Pentium Flaw Unit 5 Analasyis 1 The Pentium flaw is that on certain input data, the floating point divide instructions on the Pentium processor produce inaccurate results. Intel quoted an error rate of about 1 in 8.77*10^9 random divisions. The exact frequency depends on the type and precision of the operands; single-precision reciprocals, for example, are always returned correctly. (Nicely, 2011) This was first reported by Professor Thomas Nicely in October of 1994 by computing the

of math. The flaw was discovered first by Intel but they did not act on the problem, but a professor from Lynchburg College, Virginia called Dr. Thomas R. Nicely discovered the problem around June 1994 he was the one that noticed it in two sets of numbers and did some tests on 486 and Pentium-based computers, Dr. Nicely was certain that the error is caused by the Pentium Processor. Dr. Nicely then contacts Intel Technical Support on October 24, 1994 Intel technical support then duplicates the problem
