According to ESRB, this game contains: Mature Sexual Themes, Violence
Parents should be aware that although the game is focused on martial arts fighting, there is no blood whatsoever. The sexuality on display is a little over-the-top though, and may not be appropriate for kids.
Fighting Fans, rejoice. This one is a keeper. Its easy-to-use system makes it enjoyable for novices, but the depth of the engine will keep veterans coming back for more.
Xbox owners should enjoy showing off the power of their new console with the games stunning visuals.

Patrick's Barn: Two Big Doors Make a Big Differencecomments (11) July 13th, 2012 in Blogs
It probably shouldn't have bothered me, but I couldn't help worrying about what our neighbors were thinking about our barn project. It might be my Appalachian upbringing, but the neighbors having to look at tar-paper siding where a pair of fake sliding doors were meant to go was wearing on me for months.
I finally turned my attention to building the faux sliding doors after finishing a pair of in-swing, board-and-batten carriage doors on the lean-to section of the building. This was the last hole in the envelope. Now that I could secure the building and keep out the weather fully, I decided to make the faux frame-and-panel doors from the remaining white pine I bought months ago. The only material specially purchased for the doors was two sheets of BC plywood and a gallon of "chrome green" paint from Benjamin Moore. I think the total was less than $100.
A couple more coats of green paint, and both sets of doors will be finished. I will then be able to turn my attention to getting the top coat on the rest of the barn. I think the exterior is shaping up quite nicely. What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments.

I do. I'd suggest building them right in the opening. Space the perimter of the door away from the opening with 1/4 thick shims for the proper reveal.
The inswing carriage doors on the lean-to section of my barn are board and batten. I temporarily screwed the battens to the opening and then screwed the boards that form the doors to the battens through the batten's back (interior) side. This created a fastener free look on the street side of the doors. Once all the boards were in place, attached T hinges to the battens and removed the screws that temporarily held the battens to the door frame. The final step was to cut the battens in the center with a recip saw, converting a single big panel into a pair of swinging doors.
This is tough without a picture or drawing.
To pararphrase:
1. establish and trim out the opening with finished jamb material
2. temporarily screw battons that span the whole opening to the jamb material
3. screw on the boards to the battens from the back side through the batten,leaving a reveal around the perimeter and between the two doors (if there are two)
4. attach hinges to the battens, remove the temporary screws holding the battens to the jamb stock
5. cut the battens in the center to separte the one big door into two doors.
6. open and close the doors a few dozen times to get the full enjoyment of having a weathertight, secure building.
I used a cane bolt that goes into the concrete slab to secure the passive door and a slide bolt that connects the active door to the cane-bolted passive door. They can only be opened from the inside. You'll need a hasp or something else if you plan to open the doors from the outside.
Clear as mud? If you need further explanation just ask.

I use a drill for the drill / countersink (which you can set for different lengths pretty easily) and grab an impact for the fastening duties.

First Community Tank
Hello Everyone!
Let me start off by apologizing. I know there are a million threads on here with beginners asking what to fill there tanks with. I have browsed through many of them, and used many of the handy links that are posted on them, and they have helped me get a better idea of what I want, but I guess, in the end, nothing beats some good, old-fashioned, person-to-person communication :).
The Mission: I do not have a tank yet. I am starting from scratch. Ultimately, I would like a fully planted tank in the 29-38 gallon range. I plan on using an H.O.T. Magnum Canister Filter, which will probably be a little overkill, but I figured more *should* be better than less. It's also the smallest canister filter I could find on fosterandsmith.com. Again, I haven't purchased it yet if anyone has another recommendation. The plants I intend for the tank will be low-light plants and anubis, and probably a few marimo moss balls, because they're so dang cute. My tap water naturally runs high, in excess of 7.6 on the pH scale. I have successfully brought it down in the past. I haven't chosen a specific substrate yet, but gravel in the 1-2mm range is the plan. I intend to do a fishless cycle once the tank is planted, instructions for this still need to be looked up, but I know they're around. I am not intending to use a co2 system at this time, though I'll probably use flourish in the water. I will have an adjustable heater and rock hidie caves. I dont' plan on additional aeration with the plants in the tank. There will be a glass canopy w/ strip light. I am prepared to do weekly water changes, and I have stress coat+ to condition the water. I can get another brand if absolutely neccessary, but I'd prefer to use this up first.
For fish, I would like 3-4 healthy bunches of schooling fish and some corys. Neon tetras and zebra danios or similar come to mind, but I am flexible. I need some good, hardy, beginner fish.
My only experience with fish is a male betta in a filtered 10 gallon tank. He is happy on his own, and if I have my way, he will remain so.
Which tank size in the 29-38 gallon range would work best for small schooling fish? Which schooling fish do you reccommend together and as good beginner fish? How many fish of each species is ideal? There are a million cory subspecies, are there any I should avoid? How do you feed fish that eat different things? How do you keep little fish from getting sucked into your gravel vaccuum? How many different kinds of fish should I add at a time? Is it a bad idea to add 4-5 kinds at the same time into a cycled tank?
In general terms, I want a healthy, moderately sized tank with a diverse and active fish community that are good for a beginner. Despite everything I said earlier, if there is an idea that accomplishes this that doesn't fit with my ideas, please suggest it anyway. Sorry for the numerous questions!
Thank you in advance,
Hi Hannah.
Excellent! I haven't checked my water's hardness, I need to get that test, but the guy at the aquarium store advised me that my town's water runs hard. In fact, he advised me that my town's water was some of the worst for fish in the area. My nitrite and nitrate test kits should be in the mail. I have pH and ammonia test kits. I use pH down at the moment. I know! It's bad! In my defense I add it a week beforehand in a bucket of water so that it has time to settle on what pH it's going to be before I add it to the tank.
I think platies like hard water, you might want to consider them.
Platies do look like hardy, little colorful fish who might like my tap water :) Thank you. There are just so many fish, and when you're starting with a lot of options, how the devil are you suppose to narrow them all down? lol But this is a beginning, now I just have to find out what makes good friends with Platies.
I initially thought that I had hard water and decided accordingly. Down the track I found out that it wasn't that hard after all...
I started by seeing what was available in the shops. There was no point deciding on something that I couldn't get locally. Then I looked up the fish profiles to see what water they liked and picked out the options that liked hard water. Then I read up on compatibility. I found this site, which gives some info about compatibility http://www.tropicalfishandaquariums.com/Compatibility/MatchResults.php
I ended up with platies, pristella tetras, an apple snail and corydoras trilineatus in my 75-litre (approx 20 gallon) tank. They get on well, and did very well. They've now been moved to a bigger tank and are still doing well.
Hi welcome to TFK....my best advise dont buy on impulse...you end up working around it.....you seem like your doing your research..wish I had been a little smarter in the begining......where in Mass are you shopping ? you can PM that info
UPDATE: I have visited 2 pet stores, and I was unable to get a liquid gh test. However! After seeing the tanks, I am now seriously considering a 0 or 55 gallon tank. I have also seen some platies, and I definitely approve. So, my thought now is to cycle the tank and add maybe... 6 platies and 5 cories to start. Do these numbers seem good to start out a 55 gallon with? An alternative would be to do something around upside down catfish, because those were dang cute, but I'm pretty sure they aren't compatible with platies... need to check.
On another thread, I found a page that allowed you to choose tank size, filter type, and then listed fish that would fit, and you could add them, and it told you your tank and filter capacity and whether the fish you've added are compatible. Anyone else know this link? I can't find it now, and I was too dumb to write it down.

The Japanese government halted the sale of all food from farms near a tsunami-affected nuclear plant Saturday after abnormally high levels of radiation were found in milk and spinach.
The news of food contamination came as emergency workers scrambled to curb a nuclear crisis sparked by last week's monster earthquake and tsunami.
Crews came closer to restoring electricity needed to power up failed cooling systems in stricken reactors at the Fukishima Daiichi nuclear plant and an unmanned contraption was able to spray seawater continuously to cool down an overheating spent nuclear fuel pool.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said levels of radiation exceeding safety limits stipulated by Japanese law were found in some samples of spinach and milk from the Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures but authorities said the radioactive iodine-contaminated food posed little risk.

An observant citizen is to thank for putting a father and his two children in jail for allegedly trying to steal power lines.
The Wayne County Sheriff's Office received a call Friday about three people near Northeast Elementary School in Pikeville. 43-year-old George Daniels, his 18-year-old son George and his daughter, 19-year-old Vivian Daniels, all of Wilson, were arrested by deputies and charged with damaging electrical wires and fixtures of electrical power service, larceny and possession of stolen goods.
Authorities say the tipster followed the three until authorities could arrive. The cost of the damage to the wires is estimated at $500 and it was returned to the electric company.
The Daniels family went to jail and are all under at $5,000 dollar bond.

The Boeing 737-200c
The Boeing 737 is a short- to medium-range twin-engine narrow-body jet airliner. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has developed into a family of nine passenger models with a capacity of 85 to 215 passengers.
Originally envisioned in 1964, the initial 737-100 flew in 1967 and entered airline service in February 1968. Next the lengthened 737-200 entered service in April 1968. The 737-200c with gravel kit was released shortly thereafter in an attempt to capture the short runway market. The plane is still used today by several airlines in northern Canada, Alaska and several other countries where gravel runways are the norm.
The 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation.
(source Wikipedia with edits and additions)
High Performance and Packed with Features!
The B-737-200c model depicted in this package is a highly detailed replica of its real-life counterpart. The model was created by using high quality digital photos, plans sourced directly from Boeing and many, many countless hours of testing, revising and testing again!
This product contains Service Pack 2.
The product includes a Universal 1LW FMC that is fully functional (given FSX's limitations) and is updateable via Navigraph support. This is operable ONLY with the SP-177.
A more "steam" based version is included with a SP-77 and no FMS for those who like it "old school"
Other outstanding features of this aircraft are:Realistic startup and shutdowns
- Realistic systems and avionics
- High quality external model using normal and specular maps
- High resolution paint kit
- High quality sound set recorded from a real B-737-200
- Custom realistic DX10/DX11 night lighting, landing lights and custom effects.
- Flight dynamics tested and tuned by real pilots. The aircraft flies just like its real world counterpart! By Tom Falley!
- Several liveries included!
- No PDCS is included.
- No Weather Radar is included.
- Outbound Radials are not available using the FMS. This will be fixed after Xmas and be sent out via hotfix.
Support for P3D is not supplied at this time though the installer does allow for it. DX 10 is not supported but apparently it works.

Peculiar Plant ID
5 Attachment(s)
Okay I have had this plant in my yard for several years now. It is VERY hardy when I keep all but downed. When we moved to Texas I dug it up and took it with, and then back to VA again. It has survived in soil, sand, mulch and gravel.
I have take it to a few of the nurseries with no luck ID'ing it. It occurred to me the other day as I was tending my partially submerged swords that perhaps it is something closer to aquatic. The previous owners here had fish for a while and I recall them saying they dumped the tanks ("fish and all") in the yard when they gave it up. I do have to keep it watered constantly, and trim it back at least once a month. There have been no daughter plants and segmenting the root system has been unsuccessful as well.
ANYHOW, I was hoping maybe someone recognizes it. Or maybe it's just a lost lonely plant.
looks a bit to waxie if you know what i mean to be aquatic,
have you tried to place perhaps a stem at a joint in a vase to see if it sprouts
liike a weeping willow brach will do ?

Four people were hospitalized after a wreck involving an RV and a car briefly closed the Sterling Highway in both directions Friday afternoon, Alaska State Troopers said.
The crash occurred near Mile 153, about three miles north of Anchor Point, troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said. One lane of traffic had reopened by 3:30 p.m. but traffic was expected to be hindered for "several hours."
Ipsen said calls about the accident started coming in around 2:15 p.m. She said a silver Toyota Corolla, driven by Kelly Hicks, 51, of Utah, was traveling northbound when it crossed the center line. The Corolla side-swiped a 2007 Coachman motorhome driven by a 55-year-old Michigan man.
The driver sides of both vehicles were torn open, Ispen said.
Hicks was transported to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer where he was treated for possible life-threatening injuries. The RV driver, as well as one passenger in each vehicle, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Video: Robert Guerrero Preps for Mayweather
Interim WBC Welterweight champion Robert Guerrero, 30, takes on Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday night, and Guerrero says he'll take advantage of his southpaw boxing style to beat boxing's undefeated bad boy.
In an interview previewing the fight in Las Vegas, Guerrero reflected on the attributes that give him the most confidence: "I'm 5'9" and I'm a lefty. Styles make fights in the boxing industry. I've got all the God-given attributes to beat Floyd Mayweather," he said. "I've got fast hands, good footwork, power in both hands, and I can fight inside and outside. So I can pretty much do a bunch of different things in the ring. Pretty much what Floyd can do, but in a young body."
If he upsets Mayweather on Saturday, he says, he'll look to fight Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, who defeated Pacquiao recently.
"Definitely I'd be open to fighting Manny and Marquez," he said. "You want to fight the best fighters out there. You don't want to just fight selected fighters. You want to leave your legacy where you know you fought the best fighters that were in your weight division at the time."
Check out the video of Guerrero's interview, where he discusses Mayweather, the business of boxing, and leaving the sport a few years ago to become a full-time caretaker for his then cancer-stricken wife.

FBI offers $25K reward in case of missing NH girl
Sunday, July 31, 2011
STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — The FBI said Saturday it was offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of an 11-year-old northern New Hampshire girl who's been missing for five days.
The reward would also cover information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone responsible for the disappearance of fifth grader Celina Cass, Supervisory Special Agent Kieran Ramsey said at a news conference at the Stewartstown Community School.
"This reward should not be read into that we are transitioning in any way in this investigation," Ramsey said, adding that recent, successful cases of recovered missing children have resulted in vigilance from the public.
"We are still aggressively — aggressively — searching and hoping to bring Celina Cass home," he said.
Jane Young of the state attorney general's office said a community member was adding a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the discovery of Celina.
Celina was last seen Monday night at her home computer near Stewartstown, which is about a mile from the Canadian border. Numerous investigators have knocked on over 300 doors in the area and in neighboring Vermont and have searched fields, woods, ponds and a river.

In a post in the ONE blog, Rajat Goyal, India country director at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, reflects on progress in the global AIDS response, which he attributes largely to the development of and improved access to antiretroviral medicines, and he examines the need for a vaccine in order to bring an end to the epidemic. "More than 6,000 people worldwide are newly infected with HIV every day, and the pandemic is still spreading faster than the drugs to treat and prevent it: more people are newly infected each year than gain access to treatment," he notes, adding, "In this context, it is clear that to 'end AIDS' we must not only provide more of what works, but also develop a vaccine" (12/3).

NC has taken worked to ban video poker in the state, now it may be about to reverse course.
Governor Perdue says she is entertaining the idea of whether to expand legalized gambling to control video poker while helping to generate money to close a large budget shortfall.
The legislature has approved three different machine bans since 2006. A ban on sweepstakes machines approved last year is tied up in the courts.
Republican leaders in the legislature are said to be lukewarm to the idea of legalizing video poker. What do you think? Good idea or bad?

|United Federation of Planets
Gagarin IV was the inhabited fourth planet of the Gagarin system. (This system was located in the Gamma 7 sector.) In the mid-24th century, this planet was the location of the Darwin Genetic Research Station, a Federation outpost. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection")
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the planet was named after Yuri Gagarin, the first Human in space.
The planet model for Gagarin IV was first used for 'aucdet IX ("The Child"). It would later be used for Galorndon Core ("The Enemy"), Barzan II ("The Price"), Jouret IV ("The Best of Both Worlds"), and Bilana III ("New Ground"). For its appearance as Gagarin IV, the model had a green color.

Kenny Rogers should be in for a scenic treat when he arrives in Brandon on Jan. 24 to perform at the Keystone Centre with B.J. Thomas.
Rogers, an avid photographer, said that although he isn't looking forward to the cold weather he has been hearing about, he is hoping to snap some shots of the snow. The American country singer-songwriter from Houston isn't all that familiar with Westman's normal winter weather.

I keep using the term "cautiously optimistic" to describe myself. It's a long season, and I refuse to think that the Mets are going to win the division in April. Unless, you know, we're looking back at highlight tapes of the 1986 team.
Today is different. First, I know Mike Pelfrey will not maintain a 0.96 ERA this whole season. Just like Roy Halladay would not go undefeated this year, as he lost his first game just last week for the Phillies.
This is strictly my opinion only: I have ALWAYS thought Roy Halladay was a tad overrated. I thought a pitching rotation with Halladay AND Cliff Lee would be absolutely dominant. Without Cliff Lee, he has no one in the rotation but Joe Blanton, who injured himself eating donuts (sorry, that was mean). And there is no protection in the bullpen either, with LOLidge (coined by Vazzano over at TheRopolitans) imploding in his first appearance last night since the DL and Ryan Madson injured himself after blowing a save the other day. Yes, Halladay joins the team that is the last NL represents as "World F-ing Champs," and they are falling apart around him.
This series will certainly separate the men from the pussies. I won't say "tone-setting" because we thought that by beating the Phillies in 2008, we'd win it all, and still fell short of the playoffs.
The NL East seems to be more competitively balanced this year, and maybe there will be less pressure having two very good teams going neck and neck, by having five teams that will keep each other in check to have wins against the outlying divisions contribute to their overall standings.
I hope that made sense. It's quite early and I have not had my morning coffee yet.
I guess my overall stance is, divisions are not won in May. They are not lost in May either unless you are the Pirates or some poorly run team.
I am staying cautiously optimistic.
But I aint a-skeered.
I was also encouraged by retaliation last night for Frenchy's clang on the arm. Although I wish it was Victorino who got hit and not Chase Utley. I think I am one of the rare Mets fans who actually doesn't mind Utley. It's Victorino I would force feed Spam to till he vomited.
Let Utley have his "corner" at CitiField. CBP now has their own "Frenchy Riviera" with his HR last night.

After Spain withdrew from its former colony of Spanish Sahara in 1976, Morocco annexed the northern two-thirds of Western Sahara and claimed the rest of the territory in 1979, following Mauritania's withdrawal. A guerrilla war with the Polisario Front contesting Morocco's sovereignty ended in a 1991 cease-fire and the establishment of a UN peacekeeping operation. As part of this effort, the UN sought to offer a choice to the peoples of the Western Sahara between independence (favored by the Polisario Front) or integration into Morocco. A proposed referendum never took place due to lack of agreement on voter eligibility. The 2,700 km- (1,700 mi-) long defensive sand berm, built by the Moroccans from 1980 to 1987 and running the length of the territory, continues to separate the opposing forces with Morocco controlling the roughly 80 percent of the territory west of the berm. Local demonstrations criticizing the Moroccan authorities occur regularly, and there are periodic ethnic tensions between the native Sahrawi population and Moroccan immigrants. Morocco maintains a heavy security presence in the territory.

The territory's arid desert climate makes sedentary agriculture difficult, and Western Sahara imports much of its food. The Moroccan Government administers Western Sahara's economy and is a key source of employment, infrastructure development, and social spending in the territory. Western Sahara's unresolved legal status makes the exploitation of its natural resources a contentious issue between Morocco and the Polisario. Morocco and the EU in December 2013 finalized a four-year agreement allowing European vessels to fish off the coast of Morocco, including disputed waters off the coast of Western Sahara. Oil has never been found in Western Sahara in commercially significant quantities, but Morocco and the Polisario have quarreled over who has the right to authorize and benefit from oil exploration in the territory. Western Sahara's main long-term economic challenge is the development of a more diverse set of industries capable of providing greater employment and income to the territory.

Intel's Silverthorne Unveiled: Detailing Baby Centrinoby Anand Lal Shimpi on February 20, 2008 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
In a matter of months Intel will be officially releasing what may end up as its furthest reaching microprocessor architecture of the next decade, yet hardly anyone is talking about it and it's rarely characterized properly.
Let's get the names straight first.
Silverthorne is the processor, it's Merom-x86 based (no SSE4). Poulsbo is the chipset. The combination of the two is referred to as the Menlow platform.
I've often referred to Silverthorne as the processor Apple wanted to use in the iPhone but couldn't. In spirit there's truth in that statement, but practically it couldn't happen. Silverthorne won't be able to fit in something the size of an iPhone, it's not cool enough, it's not integrated enough and it's just not ready for that market. Intel believes it will be ready in about 3 years, I tend to agree.
But Silverthorne is launching this year, soon in fact, and there are still many unanswered questions. We know from CES about the types of devices we'll see it used in. Intel calls these Mobile Internet Devices, or MIDs, they are small devices that can be used to browse the web, check email, use chat clients, play music, view photos, etc... These MIDs will either run Vista or Linux, the majority being Linux due to lower system requirements and cost.
They will all be significantly larger than an iPhone, but their intended use is also a bit more strenuous (in theory) than an iPhone. Since Silverthorne is an x86 microprocessor, these MIDs will be able to run virtually any x86 application. Intel is quick to point out that Silverthorne based MIDs will be able to run the "full Internet" including Flash, whereas the iPhone can't.
These MIDs won't double as cell phones, so you'll still need to carry one of those with you but the idea is that a MID will be with you instead of your laptop. It'll be a lighter, more functional device, with a much longer battery life. Think UMPC but actually useful.
The problems with UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs) were numerous; you need a custom UI for a device that small, most of the devices failed miserably in this regard. The Vista UI just doesn't scale well down to that small of a size. The physical interface with the devices was also flawed, Apple showed us how it needed to be done with the iPhone and unfortunately no UMPC maker or software vendor could adapt in time. Then there's the hardware side, these things used CPUs that were far too slow for what we were asking of them. Full versions of Windows running on single-core CPUs running barely faster than 1GHz just wasn't enough for the sort of responsiveness we were hoping for. UMPCs, much like Portable Media Centers before them, were simply ahead of their time.
In many ways I expect MIDs to be the same, but there's one major difference: this time we're starting with hardware designed for the task at hand. Instead of scaling down a Core based processor, we're starting from scratch with a brand new mobile CPU called Silverthorne. If you remember the months before Centrino was launched, in many ways you're in for a repeat.
Who is Silverthorne?
In order to eventually compete in the ARM-space, Silverthorne has to be small and very cheap. The CPU itself is incredibly small thanks to its paltry 47M transistor count contributing to a die that's only 25 mm^2. Intel kept Silverthorne's die size small by greatly simplifying its architecture.
Silverthorne features a 16-stage in-order pipeline, meaning that it can only execute instructions in actual program order. This is different from Core 2, which can dynamically rearrange instructions in order to extract maximum parallelism from the code being worked on. By going with an in-order core, Intel reduces the complexity of the chip's design as well as reducing thermal output. Intel must balance the lack of instruction level parallelism that Silverthorne can extract with clever hardware and software tricks.
Remember Hyper Threading? Silverthorne will be the first Intel CPU since the Pentium 4 to allow the execution of two simultaneous threads on a single core. Silverthorne itself is too power hungry to be used in a dual-core design, and enabling two threads of execution yields a very efficient performance boost.
Since the CPU itself can't reorder instructions to help fill all available execution units, by allowing another thread of instructions to be dispatched simultaneously Intel increases the chances of fully utilizing all of Silverthorne's execution resources. Intel also trimmed the number of individual execution units on Silverthorne: SIMD and scalar integer multiplies are handled by the same unit, as are FP and integer divides.
Silverthorne can only issue two instructions per cycle, with the average IPC for most x86 applications at around 1 instruction the two thread design makes a lot of sense. Thankfully Silverthorne is being released into a world that is far more multithreaded than it was just a few years ago, otherwise such a design would hardly be sensible.
The 2-issue in-order design lessens the likelihood of being able to fill tons of execution units - so combining many functions into a single unit makes the most sense.
On the software side, Intel does do a lot in the compiler world which can come in handy, especially with Silverthorne. In-order processors shift the complexity of scheduling from the CPU to the compiler, meaning that while Silverthorne can run all x86 binaries, applications should be compiled for it in order to attain optimal performance.

Silverthorne in many ways is similarly equipped to the old 90nm Pentium, but still falls short overall - performance shouldn't be better, but at least within the realm of competitive
The Memory Subsystem
Silverthorne's in-order architecture also means that it is susceptible to high memory latencies. If a dependent instruction's data isn't available in cache on an out-of-order processor, it can simply re-order instructions around the dependency. With an in-order core however, if an instruction needs data that isn't yet available, it can't continue executing other independent instructions further down the instruction queue until that data becomes available. Making matters worse, Silverthorne has no on-die memory controller - this is something it will get in 2009/2010 with the Moorestown platform.
Silverthorne lacks an integrated memory controller and graphics core simply because Intel's 45nm memory controller and graphics core designs weren't finalized in time for Silverthorne's launch. Moorestown, which will also be built on Intel's 45nm process, will add an on-die memory controller and on-die graphics as well.
Thankfully, Intel has outfitted Silverthorne with fairly large caches. The L1 cache is unusually asymmetric with a 32KB instruction and 24KB data cache, a decision made to optimize for performance, die size, and cost. The L2 cache is an 8-way 512KB design, very similar to what was used in the Core architecture.
While Silverthorne is built entirely on Intel's high-k/metal gate 45nm process, there is one major difference: SRAM cell size. Intel uses a 0.382 um^2 SRAM cell in Silverthorne compared to 0.346 um^2 in Core 2. Each SRAM cell is an 8 transistor design compared to 6 transistors in Core 2. The larger cell size increases the die size of Silverthorne but it draws less power and runs at a lower voltage.
FSB, Performance, Clock Speeds, and Transistors
Silverthorne is connected to the outside world by a quad-pumped FSB similar to what Intel uses in its other processors, with some significant power tweaks. The FSB can operate at either 533MHz or 400MHz depending on power state/performance demands.
Dual Mode FSB
Ever since the P6 Intel has used a Gunning Transistor-Logic (GTL) based FSB, while Silverthorne's FSB can work in either a GTL or CMOS based mode. In CMOS mode power consumption is reduced significantly by turning off on-die termination and operating at half the voltage of GTL mode. Unfortunately, Intel couldn't give us more details as to what tradeoffs are made in order to achieve lower power operation in CMOS mode.
Silverthorne's pipeline depth is a bit on the long side, especially considering that it is an in-order core (which generally have shorter pipelines than out-of-order designs). Even the Core 2 architecture features a shorter 14-stage design, so we suspect that Intel needed a longer pipe to reach Silverthorne's clock and power targets.
Intel has stated publicly that Silverthorne is going to offer performance competitive with the first Pentium M processors, from both a clock speed and application performance standpoint. We'll touch on the application performance side of that momentarily, but the clock speed claims are reasonable. Thanks to a fairly deep pipeline, a very simple in-order core, and a very clockable 45nm manufacturing process Intel should have no problems hitting clock speeds in the 1 - 2GHz range. Intel's ISSCC paper states that performance is similar to mainstream Ultra-Mobile PCs, meaning that we should expect these things to perform at the level of a low 1GHz Core Solo processor.
The decision to go in-order made a lot of sense to Intel. Intel took its 20W TDP mobile Core 2 processors, scaled them down to 3W, and discovered that the best it could manage was a paltry 1GHz clock speed. The power consumption needed to be lower and clock speeds/performance needed to be higher, and thus a new design using an in-order architecture was necessary. This is especially true once you start looking at average and idle power, both of which need to be in the 10s - 100s of mW; in-order is necessary given the performance targets. While eventually we may see an out-of-order derivative (much as desktop microprocessors were in-order until out-of-order became feasible), Intel stated that for the next 5 years we're looking at in-order.
Silverthorne is built far more modularly than Core 2 or any of Intel's previous mobile microprocessors; it is honestly built more like a GPU than a CPU. Only 9% of the chip uses custom logic, and the rest is built using standard Intel circuit libraries. The L2 cache, PLLs, data I/O, addressing I/O, and a few other elements are standard logic for two reasons: time to market and flexibility.
Intel has been working on Silverthorne for 4 years now, so time to market was clearly not an issue for this first design - but for subsequent incarnations, it is. A standard design that's very modular will allow Intel to quickly integrate custom logic on a demand basis for specific markets. Intel could conceivably have a slightly different version of Silverthorne, with quick turnaround, for CE markets or for embedded applications.
Lower Power than Centrino
With mobile Penryn Intel introduced a new power state it calls C6. In the C6 power state the CPU is in a virtual reset state, and core voltage is very close to zero. The core clock, all of the PLLs, and caches are completely turned off. All of the state data is saved in a 10.5KB storage area, similar to mobile Penryn (but smaller since there's not as much state to save). Upon exiting C6 the processor's previous state is restored from this memory, called the C6 array. It takes around 100us to get out of C6, but the power savings are more than worth the effort - it's a similar approach of power for performance that we saw in the design of the original Pentium M processor.
Clock gating (sending the clock signal through a logic gate that can disable it on the fly, thus shutting off whatever the clock connects to) is an obvious aspect of Silverthorne's design. All Intel processors use clock gating; Silverthorne simply uses it more aggressively - the clock going to every "power zone" is gated, something that isn't the case in mobile Core 2. Each logic cluster (205 total) in Silverthorne is referred to as a Functional Unit Block (FUB) and the entire chip uses what Intel calls a sea of FUB design. Each FUB is clock gated and can be disabled independently to optimize for power consumption. The cache in Silverthorne is in its own FUB, which apparently isn't the case in mobile Core 2.
Keeping Silverthorne on life support, only 21 pins are necessary
Silverthorne uses a split power plane; in its deepest sleep state (C6) the chip can shut off all but 21 pins which are driven by the 1.05V VRM. By having two separate power planes the chip can manage power on a more granular level. While it can't disable individual pins, it can disable large groups of them leaving only 21 active when things like the L2 cache and bus interface are powered down.
Intel mentioned that Silverthorne will remain in its C6 sleep state 90% of the time. However, that figure is slightly misleading because it's only possible to remain in C6 when the CPU is completely idle. The 90% figure comes from taking into account a mobile device sitting in your pocket doing nothing most of the time. When in use, Silverthorne won't be able to spend nearly that much time in C6.
Despite the implementation of a C6 power state, Silverthorne will still lose to ARM based processors in both active and idle power. The active power disadvantage will be erased over the coming years as the microarchitecture evolves (and smaller manufacturing processes are implemented), while the idle power requires more of a platform approach. As we reported in our first Menlow/Silverthorne article:
"The idle power reduction will come through highly integrated platforms, like what we're describing with Moorestown. By getting rid of the PCI bus and replacing it with Intel's own custom low-power interface, Intel hopes to get idle power under control. The idea is that I/O ports will only be woken up when needed (similar to how the data lines on the Centrino FSB function), and what will result are platforms with multiple days of battery life when playing back music."
The final aspect of unique power management in Silverthorne falls upon its gridless clock distribution. Every single element within a microprocessor operates on the same clock, and making sure the same clock signal arrives at the exact same time across the many-mm^2 die is a difficult task. In conventional microprocessors, clock distribution is handled using a complex tree - which ends up eating over 30% of total microprocessor power. In-order designs allow the easier use of gridless clock distribution, which is a flat distribution using multiple clocks at the same time (instead of a tree/gridded design that is hierarchical).
Intel is targeting 0.6W - 2.0W TDPs with Silverthorne - obviously depending on clock speeds. At 2.0GHz, running at 1.0V, Silverthorne runs at 90C and dissipates 2W. The CPU temperature alone should be an indication that this is too hot for an ultra small iPhone-like form factor, so expect to see devices that are closer to a PlayStation Portable in size and at lower clock speeds for most of them.
Final Words
With Itanium, Intel felt that it was being limited by the x86 ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) and set off to develop the perfect instruction set and CPU architecture for its target markets. That was a very different time; if you remember back to AMD's introduction of x86-64, one thing AMD made a point of saying was that ISA no longer mattered - the penalty for going x86 was so small in comparison to the total chip complexity that it was a far better move to maintain software compatibility than get slightly better efficiency but break x86 support. With Silverthorne Intel has come full circle and embraced the same ideal; the goal is to have x86 from top to bottom and the range now includes ultra mobile devices once reserved for ARM processors.
In every market segment Intel has entered with x86, it has managed to dominate based on two principles: manufacturing prowess and x86 compatibility.
The manufacturing advantages Intel has held over the years are evident. Intel's incredible investment in fab plants around the world requires that it keeps them running as close to full capacity as possible. The market for low cost, low power silicon like Silverthorne is huge and should give Intel the ability to continue to hold onto a manufacturing advantage in the future. Intel won the server market by being able to subsidize the cost of manufacturing server CPUs by making even more desktop chips that needed the same fabs. The market for ARM-based processors is even larger than Intel's desktop CPU demand, so Silverthorne has the ability to have dramatic effects on Intel's overall CPU business if demand grows as expected.
The x86 compatibility aspect of Silverthorne is huge, and once again we turn to the iPhone example. The iPhone is Apple's only non-x86 product in its lineup, a lineup that runs in some shape or form a version of OS X. Maintaining separate software stacks for the iPhone vs. the rest of the product line isn't ideal; it increases the overhead and cost of software development and debugging. The 32nm successor of Silverthorne will be the chip that Apple will be able to stick in its 4th generation iPhone, giving it a single x86 software stack across all products.
There's significant competition to Silverthorne, and I don't expect it to be very successful in its first incarnation. ARM-based devices are simply smaller and used in very different ways than where Silverthorne is going to find itself. At first Silverthorne is simply going to compete with Intel's own ultra low voltage processors used in UMPCs, but it will slowly enable a new class of devices.
Inevitably the comparison to VIA's recently announced Isaiah CPU will be made, but Silverthorne is really aimed at a different market. Isaiah is a higher performance out-of-order core, while Silverthorne is eventually designed to make its way into highly integrated CE devices. We expect VIA's latest creation to outperform Silverthorne, but we don't expect the two to actually compete in the same space.
Moorestown's higher level of integration will bring about smaller devices, but still nothing iPhone-class. In our opinion, it won't be until after 2010 that we will really see the Intel/ARM race heat up. If you're expecting Silverthorne to revolutionize the ultra mobile world the way Centrino did upon its launch, you will be disappointed. What we are seeing however is the beginnings of what could be revolutionary. Intel's vision is clear; it's just up to Moore's Law to make the technology small, cool and powerful enough.
