abstract = "The Pentium affair has been widely publicized. It
started with an obscure defect in the floating-point
unit of Intel Corporation's flagship Pentium
microprocessor. This is the story of how the Pentium
floating-point division problem was discovered, and
what you need to know about the maths and computer
engineering involved before deciding whether to replace
the chip, install the workaround provided here, or do
nothing. The paper also discusses broader issues of
computational correctness.",
