HALT and CATCH FIRE : EPISODE 4
"CLOSE TO THE METAL"
Programming on Bare Metal is the term Engineers use to describe the lowest level code (often written In the lowest language - Assembly Language generally used to create an interface layer that the Operating System and application programs can use to access the hardware resources of the machine.
The project moves forward with its COMDEX and performance Goals. John Bosworths leadership is Questioned by Nathan Cardiff while the team realizes the loss of all the BIOS code. Donna is called upon to leave work while working on a deadline to help the team recover the code. Donna emerges as the one adult at Cardiff that day and takes each of the other characters to school on their lack of maturity and discipline
This episode opens with Joe and John arguing over development cost rate of burn. "The future is expensive," Joe tells Bosworth. Joe tries to show John their progress, achieved using unconventional technology so they are ready for COMDEX in November, but Bosworth isn't impressed. So Joe tells Bosworth it must be tough to keep up when "you don't understand the technology". Before Bosworth can react, he's told Nathan Cardiff is waiting for him on the phone.
"396 milliseconds!" one of the engineers exclaims. The prototype is already faster than the (very real) Doherty Threshold[3] of 400 milliseconds - the latest standard measure of computer responsiveness.[4] When Joe tells Cameron, he is surprised she doesn't react, so she gives him a self-knowing look and says "I knew it would be fast" and promises that the BIOS will be complete in two days.
