Subject: Proof of Intel Press Release
Here is a C program that proves that the Pentium FDIV bug happens
only once in 27000 years, as stated by Intel in the CNN press release.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define YEAR_SECS (365 * 24 * 3600)
main()
{
double x = 4195835;
double y = 3145727;
int i;
while (1) {
if ((x - (x/y) * y) > 0.0)
printf("Bug detected in Intel shitbox\n");
for (i = 0; i < 27000; i++)
sleep(YEAR_SECS);
}
}
