  2. Pentium FDIV bug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug

    Thomas Nicely, a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg College, had written code to enumerate primes, twin primes, prime triplets, and prime quadruplets.Nicely noticed some inconsistencies in the calculations on June 13, 1994, shortly after adding a Pentium system to his group of computers, but was unable to eliminate other factors (such as programming errors, motherboard chipsets, etc.) until ...

  3. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.

  4. ECC memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory

    It was initially thought that this was mainly due to alpha particles emitted by contaminants in chip packaging material, but research has shown that the majority of one-off soft errors in DRAM chips occur as a result of background radiation, chiefly neutrons from cosmic ray secondaries, which may change the contents of one or more memory cells ...

  5. Category:Errors reported by Module String - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Errors_reported...

    This category is a catch-all for errors reported by Module:String. Such errors generally occur due to incorrect parameters, such as indices that are out of range for the strings being examined. Users of Module:String may also specify an alternative cat to use via the error_category= parameter.

  6. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    Error-correcting codes are used in lower-layer communication such as cellular network, high-speed fiber-optic communication and Wi-Fi, [11] [12] as well as for reliable storage in media such as flash memory, hard disk and RAM. [13] Error-correcting codes are usually distinguished between convolutional codes and block codes:

  7. Verhoeff algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verhoeff_algorithm

    Verhoeff's notes that the particular permutation, given above, is special as it has the property of detecting 95.3% of the phonetic errors. [ 8 ] The strengths of the algorithm are that it detects all transliteration and transposition errors, and additionally most twin, twin jump, jump transposition and phonetic errors.

  8. Non-linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_least_squares

    Consider a set of data points, (,), (,), …, (,), and a curve (model function) ^ = (,), that in addition to the variable also depends on parameters, = (,, …,), with . It is desired to find the vector of parameters such that the curve fits best the given data in the least squares sense, that is, the sum of squares = = is minimized, where the residuals (in-sample prediction errors) r i are ...

  9. Learning with errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_with_errors

    In cryptography, learning with errors (LWE) is a mathematical problem that is widely used to create secure encryption algorithms. [1] It is based on the idea of representing secret information as a set of equations with errors. In other words, LWE is a way to hide the value of a secret by introducing noise to it. [2]
