Industrial Uses
Commercial use of automated theorem proving is mostly concentrated in integrated circuit design and verification. Since the Pentium FDIV bug, the complicated floating point units of modern microprocessors have been designed with extra scrutiny. Nowadays, AMD, Intel and others use automated theorem proving to verify that division and other operations are correctly implemented in their processors.

Famous quotes containing the word industrial:
“The clock, not the steam-engine, is the key-machine of the modern industrial age.”
—Lewis Mumford (18951990)
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
