You may be suffering from a lack of Vitamin Me. :D
I enjoy walking my dogs in the park or hiking a hidden trail, going to live music concerts, horseback riding or just sitting at the beach and watching the tide roll in and away. I am pretty laid back and I don't sweat the small stuff. I love my job and I love my life. At times I may be too playful and too carefree but when it counts I know when to be serious too. I am independent and I'm Conservative in my views. I also still believe in the old fashioned family values and I'm proud of being Catholic. I go to mass every Sunday. I can't live without God in my life. I'm looking for a man that feels the same. It's quite simple - If you know what you want in life and you have the courage to get up and fight for it, that's attractive in my eyes. I don't believe chivalry is dead. And if you don't either... send me a message.

Fantasy Dice
Tap the background to show or hide die menu. Add a few dice, then try shaking, sliding and throwing them. Turn your phone upside down and see how dice fall into the glass. Rotate your phone to observe beautiful light reflects.
You can change box style, die style and other settings from application preferences. If you have an older device, disabling visual effects and sound effects improves performance - for optimum performance disable all effects and set die style to matte.
The recipe for the most realistic dice app in the market reveals that only the best ingredients were used:
- Rightware Kanzi framework for stunning 3D graphics
- Bullet physics engine for fascinating, realistic physics modeling
- State-of-the-art AHRS sensor fusion algorithm for fast and accurate movement tracking
Use sensor fusion to accurately calculate every movement of the device: tilting, shaking, rotating. Apply measured movements to a 3D box. Add freely moving dice according to your own flavour, but make sure that they slide, roll and bounce naturally. Finally render the graphics using HW acceleration. Decorate with sound and vibration effects. Serve warm and FREE.
Have a bite and download yours now! As usual, share freely. If you're interested, the sensor fusion algorithm is open source and available under LGPL license (contact us for more information).

Pen-pals and long overdue visits
... Mrs GPS seemed to like taking the scenic route, the road less travelled (and often more narrow). She also had a tendency to tell you things you already knew - like 'there are traffic problems on this route'...usually said while you are sitting in the motorway waiting for traffic to move.
So back to our story for the day.
We finally arrive in Aachen. It is slightly worrying that neither of the aunties recognise the landscape nor any of the ...
Visiting family in the Netherlands
At last we got the chance to spend more than a couple of days in Maastricht! My cousin Annelies and her husband Jules live there and it's a wonderful city full of history and culture. We really enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts and Jen and Matt were able to visit for my birthday. Sharan and Peter Burrow were only an hour away in Brussels so we got to spend a weekend with them as well as cousins Kees and Ans who live in the rural town of Berlicum and Sanne and Dan in Zierikzee ...
Visiting Friends in Lovely Limburg
It was a great pleasure to see our friends Pierre and Linda again! They treated us to a fabulous stay at a 12th century abbey while we're there in Heerlen. . It's in the country side, so peaceful, and the grounds are so lovely. Here is a picture of where we take ...
Cruise Day 10: Andernach to Cologne
... Netherlands fashion, it started to rain. It was interesting walking around the town, but once again most shops were closed, today being Sunday. At least it is saving us money, no shops open, also no time to shop. Maastricht looks to be quite a wealthy town judging by the prices of things in the shops.
The highlight of today was the lunch at Neercanne Castle it is right on the Belgian/Dutch border. It has a Michelin Star restaurant & the castle is 17th century & the ...
Taking it very gently.
... around here.
We made our way around Brussels and on into Limburg, near the river Maas and the borders with Holland and Germany. We stopped at a nice ACSI site costing only 12e. We were both feeling under the weather and very tired - so a very early night for us!

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to processors, and more particularly to processors including multiple cores such as many-core processors.
A many-core processor includes multiple processing cores on one or more die, typically on a single die. As process technologies scale to very small dimensions, the prevailing design approach of achieving high performance by increasing processor frequency is limited due to increased power consumption. One alternative approach to achieve high performance is to distribute an application across many "small" cores that run concurrently at slower speeds than a typical "larger" core. Because each "small" core is simpler, smaller and far less power hungry than a "large" core while still delivering significant performance, a many-core design can help manage power consumption more efficiently than a single or large-core design.
Although a many-core processor has advantages over a processor with a single core or a few large cores, it also faces many challenges as process technologies scale down. For example, process variations, either static or dynamic, can make transistors unreliable; transient error rates may be high since capacitance on storage nodes is small and voltages are low; and reliability over time may deteriorate as transistor degradation becomes more severe as years pass. Thus one-time factory testing and burn-in, as implemented for conventional processors, becomes less effective to ensure reliable computing over time with a many-core processor.
Embodiments of the present invention may use a non-volatile memory to resiliently store profile information of a many-core processor. The many-core processor may include a large number of small cores situated on a single die of a semiconductor package. Further, in various implementations the non-volatile memory may also be situated on the same die as the cores. The many-core processor may be dynamically tested, e.g., via self-testing to obtain profile information for storage in the non-volatile memory.
As will be described further below, various profile information may be stored in the non-volatile memory. In different embodiments, such profile information may include frequency and voltage information regarding cores, as well as dynamic information. Additional resilient state of the many-core processor may be further stored in the non-volatile memory. Such resilient state information may include performance information, as will be discussed further below. Still further, task allocation information regarding tasks allocated to various operating cores can be stored. To aid in such tasks, the non-volatile memory may further store a configuration of an interconnect fabric that couples the operating cores together. Of course, additional profile information may be stored in the non-volatile memory in different embodiments.
In various embodiments, cores of a many-core processor may be periodically tested to obtain and/or refresh their dynamic profiles. The dynamic profile of a core may include information on its maximum operating frequency, power consumption, power leakage, and functional correctness, among other parameters. The dynamic profile may also include trending information of these parameters, indicating reliability of a corresponding core over time.
In various embodiments, tasks may be allocated and dynamically reallocated to cores based on current core profiles. If these profiles change during execution, e.g., as a result of updated profile information, task allocation may be dynamically changed to maintain a desired performance level. Thus this task allocation information may also be stored as part of the resilient state and any updates to this task allocation mapping may also be stored in non-volatile memory.

Each core 15 may be a relatively small core, at least compared with single core or dual-core processors. In various embodiments, each core 15 may include a local memory (e.g., a cache memory) and further may be coupled to shared memory. Specifically, as shown in
Cores 15 may be selected for activation based on various algorithms. To effect such activations, interconnect fabric 30 may also be configurable so as to enable improved connectivity between activated cores 15, increasing communication speeds. In the embodiment of
Referring now to
Referring now to
As discussed above, various parameters may be determined based upon the testing. For example, voltage and frequency values such as maximum operating frequency and operating voltage may be determined. Furthermore, functional correctness of cores may be determined, e.g., by performing one or more operations in multiple cores and comparing the results. If the results differ, one of the cores may be indicated as failing the functional correctness test.
Still referring to
Note that the mix of cores in different bins may be tuned to obtain better control of the number of cores in a particular bin. The total mix of cores may be recorded as part of the resilient state. Over time, one or more cores may be moved from a fast bin to a slower bin due to degradation in performance. However, the total performance of the many-core processor may be maintained by adjusting a mix of cores or adjusting operating parameters of one or more cores. For example, a spare core may be added to a fast bin. Alternately, an existing core may be run at a higher frequency using voltage scaling or body bias techniques. In some embodiments, voltage, bias values, and frequency of each core may also be recorded as part of the resilient state.

Referring back to diamond 220 of

In any event, the cores may be configured based on the profile information (block 340). For example, cores of one or more performance bins may be enabled. Furthermore, an interconnection fabric between enabled cores may be configured to provide for improved communication (also block 340). For example, the interconnection fabric may be dynamically configured to provide optimal data transfer between active cores based on the relative location of these cores.
After such configuration, normal operation of the many-core processor may be entered. Accordingly, various processes may be performed in one or more cores of the many-core processor. During such normal operation, at a selected time interval or upon an indication of a failure or degraded performance in one or more of the cores, dynamic testing of the cores may be performed, as described herein.
As a result of such testing, changes to the many-core processor, such as availability of cores, maximum operating speed of one or more cores or similar such changes may be identified. Accordingly, still referring to
If instead at diamond 350 an indication of a change to the many-core processor is received, control may pass to block 360. There, the updated profile information may be accessed from the non-volatile memory (block 360). The updated information may be readily identified, for example, by association of an update flag with the updated profile information. The updated profile information may thus provide trending information via comparison of parameters obtained during a current dynamic test and those obtained from previous testing. Reliability of a core may be indicated by the trending information of parameters that characterize the core. As described, the updated profile information may correspond to an indication of a failed core or reduced maximum operation speed of a core, for example. Based on this updated information, one or more cores of the many-core processor may be reconfigured (block 370). Furthermore, to efficiently provide communication between such reconfigured cores, the interconnection fabric may also be reconfigured, in some embodiments (also block 370).
Reconfiguration of the cores may include reassignment of one or more cores to a fast bin, slow bin, spare bin or the like. The number of bins may be tuned so as to obtain better control of the number of cores in a particular bin. A core may be moved from the fast bin to the slow bin over time due to degradation in its performance. When this occurs, a number of options may be pursued to maintain the performance of the processor at its count level. A spare core may be added to the fast bin, or existing cores may be run at a higher frequency using voltage scaling or body bias adjustment techniques.
In another example, cores may be grouped into bins according to the level of their power consumption or according to other parameters such as reliability parameters. Yet in another example, cores may be grouped into different sets of bins: one set according to the operating speed; one according to the power consumption level; one according to reliability parameters; and so forth. In one embodiment, cores may be grouped into different sets of bins after dynamic profiles are built. The binning process may be performed by a software/firmware module embedded in the many-core processor. In another embodiment, the binning process may be performed when a task is received by an operating system (OS) so that cores may be grouped into bins according to the specific task requirements.
As shown in
However, it is to be understood that reconfiguration need not necessarily occur when profile information is updated. For example, if the updated information indicates that a given core is no longer operating at its maximum frequency, the operating voltage provided to the core may be increased to obtain the same level of performance out of the core. Furthermore, instead of reconfiguring cores and/or interconnection fabric, currently-running processes may be moved to one or more different cores to attain a substantially similar level of performance without reconfiguration.
Thus in various embodiments, a resilient state of the many-core processor may be stored in a non-volatile memory. Such a resilient state may include profile information corresponding to the various cores, as well as current configuration information, such as configuration of the interconnection fabric, partitioning of the cores, voltage and frequency operation of the cores, and so forth. Such resilient state may be used to enable power up and recovery from faults. For example, the resilient state may be used to configure the many-core processor on power up and after reset, as well as to reconfigure the many-core processor upon a fault or other diminution in performance of one or more cores.
A range of non-volatile memory technologies may be implemented as the non-volatile memory in different embodiments. In some embodiments, a flash memory may be used to record the resilient state of the many-core processor. Such a flash memory may support block erase operations. In different implementations, a flash memory may support various read modes, as well as different programming modes. Depending upon the location of the non-volatile memory (e.g., on-chip or off-chip), security measures may be implemented in transferring information to and from the memory. For example, where the resilient state information is stored in an off-chip non-volatile memory, e.g., on a flash read only memory (ROM) device, the resilient state may be stored in an encrypted format and may be transmitted to the many-core processor in an encrypted manner.
Thus using embodiments of the present invention, state information regarding the current profile and reliability of a many-core processor may be maintained, even during sleep and standby states, as well as other power management techniques. Of course, such information may also be maintained while power to the many-core processor is off via the non-volatile memory. Using embodiments of the present invention, a many-core environment facing increased susceptibility to errors may provide reliable computing using resilient state information maintained in non-volatile memory.
The interconnect fabric in a many-core processor (such as the one shown in
Embodiments may be implemented in many different system types. Referring now to
First processor 470 and second processor 480 may be coupled to a chipset 490 via P-P interconnects 452 and 454, respectively. As shown in
In turn, chipset 490 may be coupled to a first bus 416 via an interface 496. In one embodiment, first bus 416 may be a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, as defined by the PCI Local Bus Specification, Production Version, Revision 2.1, dated June 1995 or a bus such as the PCI Express bus or another third generation input/output (I/O) interconnect bus, although the scope of the present invention is not so limited.
As shown in
Embodiments may be implemented in code and may be stored on a storage medium having stored thereon instructions which can be used to program a system to perform the instructions. The storage medium may include, but is not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, compact disk read-only memories (CD-ROMs), compact disk rewritables (CD-RWs), and magneto-optical disks, semiconductor devices such as read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs) such as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), static random access memories (SRAMs), erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROMs), flash memories, electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), magnetic or optical cards, or any other type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

This invention is a kind of tubular lock with an adjustable device for two-size setting. Changing the lock into two sizes is accomplished by the two different combinations of the U-shaped hole of an inside cylinder with a projected ball of an outside cylinder and the two different combinations of the U-shaped hole of a location tube inside a dead bolt with the teeth of a moving plate.
1. A tubular lock with an adjustable device for two-size setting comprising,
an inside cylinder having a U-shaped slot for a projected detent to fit and move in between front and back limbs of the slot, a hole at the bottom for moving parts to penetrate through, a notch at the bottom edge for an anti-burglar piece to be lodged in, and a faceplate to cover a dead bolt set therein,
an outside cylinder having a projected detent to fit in said U-shaped slot of the inside cylinder, a bottom hole for fixing plates to be connected therewith, and two protrusions at the bottom for keeping said fixing plates separated at a certain distance therebetween,
a dead bolt set consisting of a location tube which is combined with a dead bolt with a pin and has a further U-shaped slot disposed lengthwise with front and rear limbs and a vertical wall standing up adjacent the rear limb of said further U-shaped slot, a connecting tube which is placed lengthwise inside said location tube and has a groove for a hook of a moving plate to fit in, the moving plate having teeth for fitting in said further U-shaped slot, and an anti-burglar both beside said dead bolt for hooking up with an anti-burglar plate on which there is an anti-burglar piece pressed down by a plate spring,
an operating assembly consisting of two fixing plates which are to be fixed steady at two walls of the bottom hole of the outside cylinder and have a round hole for combining with a revolving post with protrusions which can move the moving plate having teeth which can fit in the further U-shaped slot, and
the lock having the characteristic that turning the outside cylinder can make the projected detent move along in the U-shaped slot of the inside cylinder between the respective front and back limbs and at the same time can move the teeth of the moving plate to enter the respective limbs of the further U-shaped slot of the location tube so as to change the lock size.
2. A tubular lock as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teeth of the moving plate have arcuate rear surfaces.
3. A tubular lock with an adjustable device for two-size setting comprising,
a cylinder holding various parts assembled inside itself and having at its bottom a hole for two fixing plates to hook with two walls of the hole, two protrusions to keep the fixing plates separated from each other, and a faceplate for setting the lock on a door,
two fixing plates having respective keys to hook with two walls of the bottom hole of the cylinder, and each having a round hole for a revolving post to rest and rotate therein,
in a dead bolt combined by a pin with a location tube, which has a vertical wall and a slot beside the wall for receiving teeth of a moving plate,
a revolving post having a square shaft hole for a revolving shaft of a knob, one pair of teeth on said post for engaging hooks of a moving plate, and another pair of teeth on said post for moving shoulders of the moving plate,
a moving plate having an unlocking tooth fitting in the slot of the location tube so as to move it, two hooks at its end for engagement with one pair of the teeth of the revolving post, and a pair of shoulders for engagement with the second pair of teeth of the revolving post,
an anti-burglar set having an anti-burglar bolt connected with an anti-burglar plate having a stepped edge, an anti-burglar piece mounted lengthwise in the cylinder for engaging said edge of the anti-burglar plate, movement of the anti-burglar bolt and anti-burglar plate moving the anti-burglar piece between stepped portions of said edge into and out of blocking engagement with said vertical wall of the location tube, and the revolving post has two pairs of teeth for engaging respective pairs of projections on the moving plate so that the moving plate can pull the dead bolt backward by rotation of the revolving post.
4. The tubular lock as claimed in claim 3, wherein the unlocking tooth of the moving plate has an arcuate surface to engage and elevate the anti-burglar piece by the movement of the moving plate when the dead bolt is retracted into the cylinder whereby the anti-burglar piece is moved out of blocking engagement with the vertical wall.
5. The tubular lock as claimed in claim 3, wherein the unlocking tooth of the moving plate is wider than the width of the location tube so that the unlocking tooth may elevate the anti-burglar piece by means of its arcuate surface and consequently the anti-burglar piece may not be blocked by the vertical wall of the location tube, which location tube can then move backward.
Commonly, door locks are manufactured in either of two sizes, namely 60 mm and 70 mm locks, representing the different distances between an operating aperture and a faceplate of the lock. Therefore, in order to satisfy different needs, manufacturers have to make two different sizes of locks, retailers are obliged to have more space for stocking such locks, and buyers may be confused in selecting locks unless they have a knowledge of same.
In view of the above noted problems, the inventor has devised a tubular lock with an adjustable device for fixing the lock in either of the two sizes on a door, to simplify manufacture, selling and use of such locks.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a tubular lock according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line 2--2 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view on line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view on line 4--4 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view on line 5--5 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view on line 6--6 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view on line 7--7 of FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a plan view of the lock, part broken away, and adjusted to the 60 mm size;
FIG. 9 is a first view of the action of a revolving post against a moving plate in the lock;
FIG. 10 is a second view of the action of the revolving post against the moving plate; and
FIG. 11 is a third view of the action of the revolving post against the moving plate.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lock comprises an inside cylinder 1, an outside cylinder 2, a dead bolt set 3 and an operating assembly 4.
Inside cylinder 1 has a U-shaped slot 11 for receiving a detent 21 of the outside cylinder 2, for movement therein. In the base of the inside cylinder 1 is formed an aperture 12 for moving parts 4 to pass through, and two pin holes 13 for pins 37 to be inserted in. At the top edge of the inside cylinder 1, is a notch 14 for an anti-burglar piece 36. A face plate 15 is provided for the front of cylinder 1 to hold the dead bolt set in the cylinder after assembly.
Outside cylinder 2 is assembled together with inside cylinder with detent 21 able to be moved in U-shaped slot 11 between two different locations in the respective forward and back limbs of the slot, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8. In the base of outside cylinder 2 is a hole 22 for fixing plates 41, 42 of moving parts 4. The fixing plates 41, 42 are kept separated from each other by means of two protrusions 23.
Dead bolt set 3 includes a dead bolt 31, a location tube 32, a connecting tube 33, an anti-burglar bolt 34, an anti-burglar plate 35, an anti-burglar piece 36, location pins 37 and coil springs 38.
Dead bolt 31 is united with location tube 32 by a pin 312 inserted in pin holes 311 and 321. Location tube 32 has a further U-shaped slot 322 for teeth 441 of a moving plate 44 to fit in, and a wall 323 which is vertically disposed at the rear part of slot 322 and is narrower than the rear part of the slot so that the back of wall 323 is spaced forwardly from the back edge of the slot. Moving plate 44 has two teeth, 441 which are to be fitted in location tube 32. Connecting tube 33 is inserted lengthwise into location tube 32 and twisted, having a groove 331 for moving plate 44 to fit in and a key 332 to locate in a notch 442 in the moving plate.
Anti-burglar bolt 34 engages on dead bolt 31 for movement thereon and is connected with anti-burglar plate 35 by an annular groove fitting in a notch at the forward end of the plate. The anti-burglar plate 35 serves to allow the plate spring 39 selectively to press down the anti-burglar piece 36 to lock the lock. This action will be described later with reference to FIG. 8. Dead bolt 31 and anti-burglar bolt 34 are urged forwardly by coil springs 38. The fixing plates 41, 42 project rearwardly through aperture 22 of outside cylinder 2, and have respective apertures 411 and 421 in which a revolving post 43 is rotatably mounted. There are two pairs of protrusions 431, 432, on the surface of revolving post 43. Protrusions 431 are to be hooked and moved by hooks 443 of moving plate 44 and protrusions 432 by teeth 444. Thus, turning of revolving post 43 causes linear movement of the plate 44.
Plate 44 is united with connecting tube 32 by means of notch 442 in which the key 332 fits. Plate 44 is connected with location tube 32 by means of teeth 441 which can fit in U-shaped slot 332. The two different sizes for setting the lock are obtained by inserting one or both of teeth 441 in slot 322.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show how dead bolt 31, location tube 32, connecting tube 33 and moving plate 44 are assembled together. Pin 312 unites dead bolt 31 with location tube 32, and moving plate 44 and location tube 32 are united by inserting teeth 441 in the U-shaped slot 322.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show the assembled construction of the lock adjusted to the 60 mm setting size. In this construction, detent 21 of outer cylinder 2 is located in the forward part of U-shaped notch 11, both teeth of 441 of moving plate 44 are inserted in U-shaped notch 322 of location tube 32. Consequently, moving late 44 can pull dead bolt 31 back when the plate 44 is moved by revolving post 43.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show the assembled structure of the lock adjusted to the 70 mm size. In this condition, detent 21 is located in the back part of U-shaped notch 11, and the forward one of teeth 441 of the moving plate 44 is inserted in the back part of U-shaped notch 322 of the location tube 32.
When changing of the setting size is required, for example, to change from the 60 mm size shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to the 70 mm size shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, this is accomplished by grasping fixing plates 41, 42 and turning the outside cylinder 2 so that the detent 21 moves between the respective limbs of the U-shaped slot 11, with equivalent movement of teeth 441 along the U-shaped notch 322.
The operation of the anti-burglar bolt is now described. When the lock is set in a door and the door has been closed, the anti-burglar bolt 34 is pushed inside of the lock by the door jamb. The anti-burglar bolt 34 pushes burglar plate 35 backwards, and the anti-burglar piece drops against the lower forward edge portion 352 under the influence of spring 39. It is then impossible for dead bolt 31 and tube 32 to be forced back, because the anti-burglar piece will arrest wall 323. Then to unlock the lock, moving plate 44 must be pushed backwards so that the anti-burglar piece 36 may be gradually pushed upwardly by the arcuate surface of one of the teeth 441. Then the anti-burglar piece 36 will no longer block wall 323 of location tube 32, enabling bolt 31 to be pushed back. The locking and unlocking action is the same for the 70 mm and 60 mm size settings of the lock.
FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 show the correlative movement of revolving post 43 and moving plate 44. When the post 43 and the plate 44 are stationary, protrusions 431 of the post 43 are engaged by hooks 443 of the plate 44. When the revolving post 43 is turned, whether clockwise or counterclockwise, hook 443 is pushed continuously and the other pair of protrusions 432 are brought into engagement with teeth 444 of moving plate 44 as in FIG. 10. Then, protrusions 431 will continuously push the moving plate 44 backwards.

Think of Cynic as an expatriate from the land of extreme metal. As with other restless-spirit heavy outfits from Nachtmystium to Mastodon, you can still detect an original accent in the work of this L.A.-via-Miami band; but at this stage, they're speaking a whole other language-- call it pop-savvy prog. And on Carbon-Based Anatomy, Cynic's second EP since an outstanding 2008 reunion full-length, Traced in Air, they're communicating with remarkable fluency.
Cynic's roots stretch back to the fertile early-1990s Florida death-metal scene. Before issuing their own proper debut, the band's co-leaders, guitarist-vocalist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert, scored a high-profile freelance gig, backing Death leader Chuck Schuldiner on Human. The concise title of that 1991 classic belies its groundbreaking blend of ferocity and technicality-- not to mention its inescapable influence on the next two decades of chops-happy extreme metal. (A great-sounding reissue is out on Relapse if you're curious.) The pair quickly jumped ship, though, and got to work on its own definitive statement, 1993's rich, puzzling Focus. Even on this first LP, Cynic seemed to regard metal like a vestigial tail. Guest vocalist Tony Teegarden contributed anguished, growling vocals that recalled Schuldiner's, but Masvidal augmented his lines with a pre-Auto-Tune robot speak. And while the band indulged in outbursts of hard-hitting shred, they avoided death metal's signature blastbeats outright, favoring supple rhythms drawn straight from the jazz-fusion playbook.
If Focus had an ugly-duckling appeal, Cynic's hybrid experiment didn't pay off fully until Traced in Air, which followed a 15-year hiatus. The comeback effort pushed metal even further into the background in favor of an increased melodicism; suddenly Cynic seemed like a new standard bearer for 21st-century art rock, flooring you with their technicality while mashing on all your bliss buttons. The record took what it needed from extreme metal (growled backing vocals), fusion (tricky turnarounds and ornate solos), and pop (open-hearted hooks). This was a band unmoored from genre but not adrift: The songs were pointing the way, rather than any regard for a clearly definable style. Underscoring that point, the band followed Traced in Air with 2010's Re-Traced, an EP that adapted four of the full-length's tunes in a calmer style, with the metal-- and, for the most part, rock-- siphoned out in favor of folky pop and electronica. It was a startling move, but the material held up.
Carbon-Based Anatomy, consisting of all-new material, is more substantial than Re-Traced, the next best thing to a new LP. A 23-minute suite of six continuous tracks, the EP restores the band's aggressive side but only in measured doses. The three proper songs here-- presented along with a trio of soundscapey mood setters-- are easily Cynic's most accessible to date, favoring straightforward verse-chorus anthems and ditching the death-metal-styled vocals outright. Yet they're also some of the band's strongest, further proof that Masvidal and Reinert's core ideas are sturdy enough to withstand drastic shifts in style.
The title track is a perfectly paced stunner. A sensuous, tribal-y verse (which finds Reinert locking in with Focus-era Cynic bassist Sean Malone, who guests on the EP) alternates with a placid guitar-and-voice passage, mapping out the piece's sing-songy motifs. After a dreamy fusion interlude, the aggression ramps up: Masvidal solos triumphantly, and the band kicks into a stomping, crunchy climax, over which Masvidal recasts the earlier guitar-voice melody as a yearning anthem. Usually not one to present his vocals undisguised, he sings sans effects here and achieves a new emotional directness. The track lasts more than six minutes, but it feels trim, even radio-ready. It's fitting that Masvidal sings about transcending the body ("Drop the knife/ Leave your arms behind/ Just for a moment"); on a piece like this, Cynic sounds fully liberated, not just from their metal past but from any aesthetic concern other than assembling a great song.
Carbon-Based Anatomy might be relatively conventional, but thanks to Masvidal and Reinert's idiosyncratic virtuosity, it doesn't come off as bland. Masvidal shines on the EP's two other core tracks, "Box Up My Bones" and "Elves Beam Out". On the former-- like the title track, a catchy, profoundly dynamic mini opus-- the guitarist whooshes in during a mid-song breather, playing a gorgeous series of notey trills and demonstrating how he's re-purposed his metal-honed chops in the service of pure textural beauty. In "Elves Beam Out", a strange, dazzling little song, he connects the dots between John Lennon and Yes' Steve Howe, moving from gloomy, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)"-style riffage to feverishly grandiose filigree. Throughout the release, Reinert deftly balances ornament with groove. On the "Carbon-Based Anatomy" verse, he peppers his beat with a flurry of tasty tom and snare accents, while on the "Elves Beam Out" chorus, he blends brisk bass-drum stutters and half-time cymbal accents into an infectious stop-start pattern.
Carbon-Based Anatomy's three remaining tracks-- bookends "Amidst the Goals" and "Hieroglyph", which feature chanting and narration from singer-songwriter Amy Correia, and mid-EP breather "Bija!"-- set aside chops in favor of atmosphere. (James Cameron's sci-fi-meets-New Age mysticism is an apt reference point for the moods these pieces conjure.) Unlike the songs that sit next to them, this material depends entirely on context. Listen to the release front-to-back, and they function as respectable palate cleansers and thematic signposts; but consider them individually, especially the tablas-and-chanting-heavy "Bija!," and they scan as too mundane, paling next to the ecstatically inventive material that surrounds them. To be fair, Cynic has skirted this line since Focus, which wasn't without its over-the-top moments; there, as with Carbon-Based Anatomy, though, the quality of the surrounding songs is too high for it to matter much.
Lofty as it is, the text Correia speaks in "Hieroglyph" resonates strongly with Cynic's creative ambitions. She tells of a soul who's been "blown to all corners of the universe… his whole being an explosion into infinity." When she observes, "No walls/ No specific personality," it's hard not to think of Masvidal and Reinert's fearless two-decade-plus quest to evolve, their willingness to cast off metal-oriented trappings that no longer suited their compositional needs. For a band that's come this far, maybe a metaphor involving the transgalactic dispersion of the soul really is appropriate. When you're functioning at as high a level as 2011-model Cynic, you're entitled to a bit of grandiosity.
