Computing the 1-Norm of a Floating-Point Vector This example shows the use of fabs() to compute the 1-norm of a vector defined as follows: norm1(v) = |v[0]| + |v[1]| + ... + |v[n-1]| where |x| denotes the absolute value of x, n denotes the vector's dimension v[i] denotes the i-th component of v (0≤i<n).

October 9, 2008 - SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ For years, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s scrappy image was best summed up by an insult that founder Jerry Sanders lobbed against rivals: "Real men have fabs."

The fabs() functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x.

November 17, 2010 - “Real men have fabs.” AMD founder Jerry Sanders made the point—in blunt, politically incorrect fashion—that maintaining control over IC manufacturing was crucial for a top-tier semiconductor company.

April 11, 1994 - "The fabs are full," laments CEO John C. East. And that could signal the end of an era. It means that 250 fabless chip companies--the startup stars of Silicon Valley for a decade--face a growth crisis. As their chip-production options shrink, it will be hard for them to avoid a retreat.

The fabs() function computes the absolute value of a floating-point number x. The fabsf() function is a single precision version of fabs().

September 3, 2022 - In 1977 I made a job change: I took a job at Raytheon Semiconductor. Raytheon was on Ellis Street next door to the Fairchild “Rust Bucket”. In the early days, … Continue reading "Real Men Have Fabs Jerry Sanders, TJ Rodgers, and AMD"

April 24, 2024 - “Real men have fabs” was an insult AMD founder Jerry Sanders hurled at his poor competitors who could not afford to build fabs. A few years later, AMD would be fabless, spinning off its manufacturing facilities as GlobalFoundries.

The fabs() functions compute the absolute value of a floating-point num- ber x.

DESCRIPTION The fabs() functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x.

July 30, 2019 - For AMD's 50th remember the man who helped start it all! ... What's kind of sad is that Global Foundries has sold off a few of their assets recently, and of course given up on 7nm for now. Since GloFo was built on AMD fabs, and the fact that they aren't pushing the envelope as hard now, that same ethos that Jerry helped foster seems to be pretty much gone now.

April 16, 2021 - The above quip came from TJ Rodgers of AMD/Cypress. It was popularized by Jerry Sanders, CEO of AMD.[1] · There were many fabs back in the day. Now they're mostly EPA Superfund sites in Silicon Valley

February 25, 1999 - Intel Developer Forum Jerry Sanders III, the CEO of AMD, said at a conference a few years "only real men have fabs". He was referring in that case to Cyrix, now a subsidiary of NatSemi.

November 24, 2010 - "Real men have fabs." AMD founder Jerry Sanders made the point—in blunt, politically incorrect fashion—that maintaining control over IC manufacturing was crucial for a top-tier semiconductor company. The fabless semiconductor community heartily disagrees.
