The invention relates to a method and system of testing and/or verifying designs, and more particularly to a method and system of system-on-chip (SoC) design verification of inter-cluster interactions using simulation processes.
Present-day integrated circuit (IC) chips have advanced significantly in both complexity and sophistication. For example, in early generation chip designs, a chip might embody relatively simple electronic logic blocks effected by interconnections between logic gates; whereas, newer generation chips include designs having combinations of complex, modularized IC designs often called "cores", which together constitute an entire SoC. These newer generation IC designs significantly increase the overall functionality and performance characteristics of the chip, itself, by for example, having the ability to include smaller feature sizes and thus increasing the amount of circuitry which can be built on a single chip. But, this comes at a cost: longer design and verification times which, in turn, translate into added development and manufacturing costs.
To design such complex IC chips, the IC chip development includes a design phase and a verification phase, of which the latter is critical to the determination of the workability and hence functionality of the chip, itself. For example, it is in the verification phase that a determination is made as to whether a design works as expected.
The verification phase has moved toward a software simulation approach to avoid the costs of first implementing designs in hardware to verify the workability of such designs. However, multiprocessor and multicore designs can lead to very large simulation models due to the fact that the entire design and testbench must be constructed for every simulation. Even when using modern simulation tools, simulation load and execution time, as well as build time can become cost and time prohibitive. This is especially true in complex design cases with inter-processor clusters since a complete gate level representation of the design must be constructed and loaded into the simulation for each processor.
By way of illustration, in verifying a design, a simulator (e.g., specialized software whose functions include accepting software written in a hardware description language (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL) models a circuit design (e.g., a core) in order to simulate a response of the design. This response is applied by a test case to determine whether the design functions as expected. However, to achieve acceptably bug-free designs, the verification software must load the complete design into existing tools in order to satisfactorily verify the design, i.e., applying a number of test cases to fully exercise the design in simulation.
As the chip design becomes more complex in both individual cores and the interactions between cores, the verification tends to require an even more inordinate amount of time and computing resources, largely due to the modeling and verification of the interaction of functions associated with the entire design. That is, for example, the verification process becomes exponentially longer due to the need to load and exercise an entire test design for testing only one function or an interaction between two or more functions. This verification process becomes even more complicated for verification of multi-processor cores, which interact with one another, since no known technologies exist which can communicate with one another to verify the interactions between multi-processor cores. These inefficiencies in current verification methodologies exacerbate time pressures and increase, significantly, the time-to-market, a key factor for developers and marketers of IC chips in being competitive in business.
In a first aspect of the invention, a method includes creating a test case that is dependent upon known sequences and executing the test case on an originating processor until it reaches a known point. The method further includes executing the test case on a different processor to perform an action and informing the originating processor that the action was taken. The action is verified as being occurred with the originating processor.
In another aspect of the invention, the method includes providing a signal to access and obtain shared information obtained from an execution of a distributed test case on a first processor of at least two processors such that tasks completed by the first processor are communicated to a second processor of the at least two processors during simultaneous execution of a distributed test case. The method further includes executing a test case of the distributed test case on the second processor using the shared information, upon receipt of the signal, to verify a design. The signal provides control and synchronization of the distributed test case in a multi-processor application.
In another aspect of the invention, a system includes a mechanism which is structured and adapted to allow simultaneous execution of a distributed test case, running on different processors, and to communicate a state of each test case of the distributed test case. The system further includes a module which provides a handshaking protocol to signal when to check for a result of the test case on an alternate of the different processors, and to respond with the results of the check.
In further aspects of the invention, a computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program is provided. The computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to implement the steps of the invention.
The invention relates to a method and system of system-on-chip (SoC) design verification of a multiprocessor program using improved simulation processes. In an embodiment of the invention, the system and method implements a distributed test case running simultaneously on multiple processors which are capable of communicating the respective state of each test case (e.g., of a distributed test case) in order to validate or verify functions across multiprocessor programs. More specifically, the method and system provides controls and synchronization of the distributed test case in a multi-processor TOS (test operating system) application. Thus, in embodiments, the system and method of the invention allows tasks within multiple TOS applications to communicate during simultaneous execution (e.g., using a shared-message memory and a TestnSet hardware) to verify designs of multiprocessors.
In one implementation, the test application includes one or more of the following architectural elements:
In one implementation of the invention, the one or more workstations 100 include a shared message memory (SMM) 200 to support inter-TOS protocols. The one or more workstations 100 additionally include a shared memory lock Test and Set Hardware (SMM Lock TNS HW) 300, one or more program applications, 400 a and 400 b, e.g., running on different processors, and a failure recovery mechanism 500. The program applications 400 a, 400 b may be any conventional program application such as, for example, AutoTOS™, which run test cases for verification of a design on different processors.
In one specific example, AutoTOS™ (or ADF (Application Definition File) (where software resources are specified)) may be used to compile user specified parameters (e.g., resources) in order to generate a specific test to verify. As should be known to those of skill in the art, AutoTOS™ is a compiler tool used to automate test and generation processes. In one implementation, the AutoTOS™ can be used to generate test cases implementing a template, as should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

By way of one illustration, the SMM Lock TNS HW 300 implements a handshake (e.g., signal) between at least two processors, which provides a coherent structure for the SMM to support the inter-TOS protocols of the at least two processors. In one example, the handshake (e.g., handshaking protocol) can signal to the TOS applications when to check for a result in the alternate TOS application, and to respond with the results of the check. In this manner, the handshake can be used to initiate the inter-TOS communications, while locking and unlocking read and write operations. This allows, in part, the simultaneously running of test cases and their interaction with one another. In this way, the function of the test cases can be "distributed" amongst different processors. In embodiments, the SMM Lock TNS HW 300 assures that when a lock is set from one processor, all other processors in the system see and properly identify the lock. An implementation of the handshake may include, for example,
Void EMU_Spin_Lock (void) { Unsigned char temp8=0x80; /* obtain the lock, when valid */ If (lock_state != 2) return; While (temp8 & 0x80) == 0x80) READ_MIO8_NOTRACE (KERNEL_TESTNSET + (TOSID*8) + EMULOCK, &temp8); Return; }
("READ_MIO8_NOTRACE (KERNEL_TESTNSET+(TOSID*8)+EMULOCK, &temp8" is a reusable API, which may be obtained from a library.)

In the manner discussed above, a test case can be created which is dependent upon known sequences. The test case can then be executed on different processors, in the required sequence, as a distributed test case. For example, the test case on an originating processor can be run until it reaches a known point. The test case can then be run on a different processor to perform an action, taking information obtained from the originating processor. The originating process may become aware of the action taken and verify that such action was taken.
In one specific embodiment, the SMM Lock TNS HW 300 implements a handshake, which provides a coherent structure for the SMM to support the inter-TOS protocols. For example, the handshake provides a protocol advising that the TOS-0 400 a can communicate with the TOS-1 400 b, while locking and unlocking read and write operations.
In the implementation of
In the example of
As further steps, the TOS-0 400 a may acquire the lock and extract the response from the queue and free the lock, which permits the TOS-1 to acquire the lock (e.g., under direction from the handshake). The TOS-1 400 b may store the response in a queue for reference when executing its program application. The lock of the SMM may then be freed. In this manner, the test cases of the TOS-0 and TOS-1 can run simultaneously (e.g., be distributed) and can communicate their respective state in order to validate or verify a multiprocessor (MP) program.
Using the example of
In implementations, the failure recovery mechanism provides signals between the TOS applications running different test cases of the distributed test case. By way of example, TOS-0 may initiate a test on hardware, which runs simultaneously on TOS-0 and TOS-1 in accordance with the invention. TOS-0 will signal the alternate TOS, TOS-1, to check the result of the test being run. TOS-1, on the other hand, will wait for the signal to check the result. TOS-1 will check the hardware result and signal back the response to TOS-0. TOS-0 will wait for the result, and if the result is not provided in a predetermined time period, TOS-1 will provide a signal to cancel the alternate test case being run on TOS-1. This "cancel" or "kill" operation may be implemented by MP TOS using, for example, the MPTOS_CAN_ALTERNATE API.
Still referring to
In the manner described, the system and method of the invention controls and synchronizes distributed test cases (e.g., across multiple abstraction layers) in a multi-processor TOS application for multiple process verification by using the inter-processor message protocol and a handshake protocol. Thus, by implementing the system and method of the invention, tasks within one TOS (or other) application can communicate synchronously and asynchronously across coding layers (using function calls and callback functions) when sharing same HW resources (using MUTEX structures and memory allocations). With this, it is possible to provide inter-task communication between multiple TOS verification applications running simultaneously in a multiprocessor SoC design to be verified, while ensuring coherency.
The method as described herein is used in the fabrication of integrated circuit chips. The resulting integrated circuit chips can be distributed by the fabricator in raw wafer form (that is, as a single wafer that has multiple unpackaged chips), as a bare die, or in a packaged form. In the latter case the chip is mounted in a single chip package (such as a plastic carrier, with leads that are affixed to a motherboard or other higher level carrier) or in a multichip package (such as a ceramic carrier that has either or both surface interconnections or buried interconnections). In any case the chip is then integrated with other chips, discrete circuit elements, and/or other signal processing devices as part of either (a) an intermediate product, such as a motherboard, or (b) an end product. The end product can be any product that includes integrated circuit chips, ranging from toys and other low-end applications to advanced computer products having a display, a keyboard or other input device, and a central processor.
The invention can take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment or an embodiment containing both hardware and software elements. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is implemented in software, which includes but is not limited to firmware, resident software, microcode, etc. Furthermore, the invention can take the form of a computer program product accessible from a computer-usable or computer-readable medium providing program code for use by or in connection with a computer or any instruction execution system. For the purposes of this description, a computer-usable or computer readable medium can be any apparatus that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.
The medium can be an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system (or apparatus or device) or a propagation medium. Examples of a computer-readable medium include a semiconductor or solid state memory, magnetic tape, a removable computer diskette, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a rigid magnetic disk and an optical disk. Current examples of optical disks include compact disk-read only memory (CD-ROM), compact disk-read/write (CD-R/W) and DVD.
A data processing system suitable for storing and/or executing program code will include at least one processor coupled directly or indirectly to memory elements through a system bus. The memory elements can include local memory employed during actual execution of the program code, bulk storage, and cache memories which provide temporary storage of at least some program code in order to reduce the number of times code must be retrieved from bulk storage during execution.
Input/output or I/O devices (including but not limited to keyboards, displays, pointing devices, etc.) can be coupled to the system either directly or through intervening I/O controllers. Network adapters may also be coupled to the system to enable the data processing system to become coupled to other data processing systems or remote printers or storage devices through intervening private or public networks. Modems, cable modem and Ethernet cards are just a few of the currently available types of network adapters.
While the invention has been described in terms of exemplary embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modifications and in the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

New Electric Vehicle Platform Being Developed By Mercedes-Benz
It appears Mercedes-Benz is working on a new platform for an electric vehicle that will be used on four upcoming models, as shown on a report from worldcarfans.com. The platform will reportedly be dubbed as EVA and will be similar to the MRA architecture, which is currently being used on a number of models including the C-Class and the S-Class. However, everything for the moment are simply reports since the luxury vehicle manufacturer has not released any official statement on a new platform for electric vehicles. The new platform is supposed designed to allow it to accommodate large-sized battery packs that will have a total weight of around 882 pounds…. Continue Reading »

CLEVELAND — David Ross, the most famous backup catcher perhaps ever, entered with Jon Lester. Of course, he did. They were as much a partnership as Abbott and Costello, Batman and Robin.
Ross was signed by the Cubs because Lester had already inked a six-year, $155 million deal after the 2014 season. He is his personal catcher, therapist, friend. Being part of that tandem brought Ross work and fame and a chance in Game 7 of the World Series to finish his career spectacularly.
But then …
Before the most important game he had ever managed, Chicago's Joe Maddon had said he would not use Lester in the middle of an inning with runners on, owing to his unfamiliarity with relieving (he had not done it since 2007) and his phobia about throwing to bases.
Yet, starter Kyle Hendricks was lifted having thrown just 63 pitches after walking Carlos Santana with two outs in the fifth. Lester entered and so did his personal catcher, Ross.
What followed was two batters that pivoted the Cubs toward another chapter of you just won't believe what happened next. Jason Kipnis hit a swinging bunt that Lester wanted no part of, so Ross grabbed the ball and threw it wildly, putting runners on second and third.
Lester said, wanting to avoid too good of a pitch, he then made a horrible one, bouncing a curve that struck Ross' mask, reeled him as if he were hit by a heavyweight and rolled toward the Cub dugout. Santana scored easily and — of all things — Kipnis scored all the way from second on a wild pitch.
The Indians, lifeless until then, suddenly had crawled within 5-3 and energized a crowd that had a heavy, happy, loud contingent of Cub fans.
"Give him credit because after that most guys would kick themselves, feel like they gave away two runs, and not be able to refocus," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said.
But in what would prove to be the next-to-last plate appearance of his career, Ross homered off of all relievers, Andrew Miller. That made it 6-3 en route to a Cubs' 8-7, 10-inning victory.
"To have the presence and calmness to hit a homer there, that really shows something," Hoyer said.
The Cubs could not hold onto that lead and eventually Ross was pinch run for after walking in the ninth. The Cubs recovered to win and so Ross, an important leadership voice among the young Chicago players, gets to leave the game a champ.
"It is a storybook ending," Lester said.

B. Wurtz
Curated by Nic Tammens
March 26 - April 4, 2015
B.Wurtz works from a basement studio in his home on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
This local fact is attested to by the plastic shopping bags and newsprint circulars that appear in his work. As formal objects, they don't make loud claims about their origins but nonetheless transmit street addresses and places of business from the bottom of this long thin island. Like plenty of artists, Wurtz is affected by what is local and what is consumed. His work is underpinned by this ethic. It often speaks from a neighborhood or reads like the contents of a hamper:
"BLACK PLUMS $1.29 lb."
"Food Bazaar"
"USDA Whole Pork Shoulder Picnic 99c lb."
"RITE AID Pharmacy, with us it's personal."
"H. Brickman & Sons."
"Sweet Yams 59c lb."
Most of the work in this exhibition was made while the artist was in residence at Dieu Donne, a workshop dedicated to paper craft in Midtown. Here Wurtz fabricated assemblages with paper and objects that are relatively lightweight, with the intention that they would be easily transportable to Australia. This consideration isn't absolute in Wurtz's work, but was prescriptive for making the current exhibition light and cheap. Packed in two boxes, these works were sent from a USPS post office on the Lower East Side and delivered to North Melbourne by Australia Post.
Wurtz appears courtesy of Metro Pictures, New York.
Thanks to Rob Halverson, Joshua Petherick, Sari de Mallory, Matt Hinkley, Helen Johnson, Fayen d'Evie, Ask Kilmartin, Lisa Radon, Ellena Savage, Yale Union, and "Elizabeth".

Press Release:
"...It contained seven objects. The slender fluted bone, surely formed for flight, surely from the wing of some large bird. Three archaic circuitboards, faced with mazes of gold. A smooth white sphere of baked clay. An age-blackened fragment of lace. A fingerlength segment of what she assumed was bone from a human wrist, grayish white, inset smoothly with the silicon shaft of a small instrument that must once have ridden flush with the surface of the skin - but the thing's face was seared and blackened."
William Gibson, "Count Zero", 1986
"Autumn Projects Archive"

March 6 - March 15, 2014

Wellington - A New Zealand court granted bail on Thursday to two associates of the founder of online file-sharing website Megaupload, accused of being involved in a scheme that allegedly made more than $175m from internet piracy and illegal file sharing.Dutchman Bram van der Kolk, 29, and Finn Batato, a 38-year-old German, who were arrested last Friday along with Megaupload's founder, Kim Dotcom, were freed on bail. A decision on another accused, Mathias Ortman, was put off until Friday pending further submissions on his bail application."I am satisfied that the risk of flight here is minimal and such risk as remains can be met by the imposition of strict bail conditions including electronic monitoring," Judge David McNaughton said in a written judgement.A lawyer for the men had argued their role in the company was different from that of Dotcom, and they did not have secret sources of funds or multiple identities.The US wants to extradite all four on charges of internet piracy, copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering.Dotcom, 38, was refused bail on Wednesday because the judge believed there was a significant risk he could try to flee New Zealand. He will reappear in court on February 22. His lawyer is preparing to appeal that decision, maintaining that Dotcom does not have the means to leave the country.The defendants have said they are innocent of the piracy and other charges, asserting the company simply offered online storage.An extradition application must be lodged within 45 days of an arrest, and the US must show the alleged offences would be crimes in New Zealand punishable by at least 12 months in jail.Legal experts have said the extradition process is likely to be long and complex.
USA is getting like Apple ..
Suing and extradition required for anyone that dares go against the all mighty Yankee.
They love democracy so much but must realise that not the whole world voted for them to become the World Wide police force.
The counties that give in to their bully boy tactics are just as bad.. SIES man ... grow a pair and tell them to bugger off.

Manufacturer Benefits
Pre-launch testing is critical to the commercial success of new products. However, testing gets more expensive as the number of advanced technologies incoporated within a product increases.
GCF Certification is the most cost-effective way for a manufacturer to demonstrate the conformance and interoperability of its new products.
Manufacturers who certify can also
- Reduce time-to-market for new products
- Minimise expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing when submitting products to the acceptance programmes of multiple operators.
GCF Certification:
- Is recognised by operators with interests in markets worldwide
- Helps manufacturers expand their addressable market by demonstrating that their product is relevant to multiple operators (or distributors) in multiple export markets
- Reduces cumulative testing costs when supplying a product to multiple operator partners
- Provides confidence in, and comparability of, test results through the harmonisation of testing
- Creates economies of scale and a competitive market in the supply of test tools and services
- Defines the boundary between the testing responsibilities of manufacturers and operators
- Automatically alerts GCF's entire operator membership to newly certified products - operator members can find out more about a product by accessing the test results
- Promotes new, certified products via a public listing
- Supports the commercialization and shortens time-to-market for important new technologies by achieving industry consensus on the most appropriate, effective testing.

its karma airshort
Oh well, I can afford 10 more breaks atleast.
4 of my 5 tier0 HQ's ever were without support. Support means nothing unless it breaks a tier.Originally Posted by Airshort7
Atleast next time I break when not using support, I can blame you! jk ; ;Originally Posted by Raineer
second try for the same guy :O
no skill up
third try, 20 minutes later, i NQ. poor dude ><; at least i didn't break his ABJ !
ouchies D:
I blew up my fourth c slacks the other day. I swear this synth is bugged. Anyone else notice a higher than it should be break rate on these things? I doubt there is any hidden sub craft skill since I've never gotten a skill up other than cloth back when I was under cap. Other ppl are posting macrame breaks, so maybe it isnt just me... (though it probably is lol).
I would sayyyyyy that you're just unlucky.Originally Posted by Meilyn
I synthed 26 consecutive macrame+slacks pair without fail, starting from about March 2006 until about a week ago.
I broke the 27th macrame (53rd synth) and remade it+slacks.
I broke the 33rd slacks (67th synth).
Since then I am up to #34 (69 synths) with only the above-mentioned 2 breaks. 34th pair on sale atm, waiting for it to sell before making #35.
(Before I started counting, I made at least 30 slacks for contract and broke 3-4 synths)
Why cursed slacks tho? Galetia had a price crash on our server, at 700k now and they are pretty reasonable for you to go to 97 (same cap as slacks) with blessed pants synth. HQ one...send to my d.box. I am currently 0/11 on it and still counting. Even if NQ, it's not as big loss as Cursed Slacks and sells much faster.Originally Posted by Meilyn
Dance Shoes <No thanks>
I've crit failed more slacks than any other expensive synth, and I never synthed one until I was 99+ and every one has been contracted lolOriginally Posted by Meilyn
slacks are 200-300k profit on our server, where blessed legs are about the same in loss. Never failed a slacks synth/macrame yet outta 4. never got a skill off them yet tho ;_; @96
Cursed cloth synths on Siren sell like shit on the AH, EVERYONE wants to "hope for HQ", because of course Mitts -1 cost like 1m all you have to do is tip the crafter
Not as bad as some i've seen on here but this was only my second Shura synth. Poor guy saved for a long time to get that log.
Highlighted a bit for you there Wop. Back when I was going 96 -> 97 Cursed Slacks were about 1 mil profit, Blessed Mitts were break even, and Blessed Trousers were ~150k profit. So ya, I was doing those instead of Dance Shoes. All three have pretty much dropped down to fluctuating around break even or slight loss now though. The point I was using is that I've never recieved any kind of subcraft skillup. And ya, the price crash of Galetia has been nuts, along with a number of things across the board. The Aristo's I made a month ago has dropped from 35 to 25 mil in that time. It makes me sad, I blame the increasing numbers of crafters at the top. Seems profit margins are just going to continue to fall until/unless gil buying becomes cheap again (which is probably how some of these crafter got this high in the first place).Originally Posted by wop
Sad to hear my luck might just be bad on this synth lol. Now that the profit has dried up I think its going contract only for a while. Thanks for the replies.
6th behemoth hide today. orz
Yesterday's Full moon, Lightning day, SW direction with Terra Staff does absolutely nothing
/cry -
Try lightning staff? Also I have like 140 lightning element in my moghouse which of course gives off Moghancement: Desynthesis. I'm 3/6 NQ, 1/6 HQ, 2/6 break. Might just be a bit luckier than most, but I think it has a lot to do with stacking mog house with lightning shit.Originally Posted by wop
No, not fucking lightning staff, that has nothing to do with shit. SE did not design crafting with player levels god fucking dammit. Mog house is somewhat believeable, but thunder staff is level 51, all crafting gear is level 1 for a reason. Being on a job below 51 will never ever give you any crafting disadvantage, so please for the sake of my fucking sanity stop recommending this shitOriginally Posted by Bukkorosu
Hi there Hocho. Not saying the staves do help, but you're assumption based on MOST crafting gear beinglevel 1 shows nothing.Originally Posted by Zalius
Why do you have 140 lightning element when the requirement for overwhelming lightning energy is only 100 or 101 (one of those two I can't remember). Is there a proven study that I missed somewhere that states that having 140 lightning element has a better rate than 101 element?Originally Posted by Bukkorosu

Well no one likes a bad reception or reoccurring call drops, so we have some of the tips and tricks that might get you best reception that you were looking for and enjoy the uninterrupted conversations with your loved ones.
1. Type & Make of your Phone
Cause: Well not every cell phone model has a good in-built antenna and not every model comes from the same manufacturer. For e.g. A Samsung S3 can be manufactured in three different countries with different components from various suppliers so maybe your model may not be optimal with your network provider as other models.
Solution: Ask the seller for a feedback on reception quality before buying that particular handset. And make sure your mobile phone model is made in the best manufacturing environment; you can do so by using the IME number of the model.
2. Apps
Cause: Too many apps, free apps and open or running apps can cause a lot of reception noise or disturbance in rather perfect reception.
Solution: Avoid stuffing your phone with too many apps especially the free ones and make sure you close those unwanted or inactive apps.
3. Poor Operating System
Cause: Not every upgrade is profitable. Sometimes an upgrade in your cell phone OS can actually hamper with your cell reception.
Solution: Carefully opt for upgrades and if the new update is not working for you then ask for a technical assistance that can help you get back your old operating system.
4. Peak Hours (Telephonic Traffic)
Cause: In some areas there are times when the usage of mobile signals is increased so you might get a little or jammed reception.
Solution: Well frankly speaking there is no clear solution to this problem except to wait and watch but in case you face this problem regularly then you might want to get an signal booster installed.
5. Travel
Cause: It is difficult for your cell phone to jump from one cell tower to another and metal body of trains and buses can disrupt the signal too.
Solution: Here you can use a signal booster called a cradle which has a magnetic mount outside antenna. It is affordable and handy but you will have to use a Bluetooth headset or use the speaker phone while talking.
6. Tower Proximity
Cause: A less amount of area coverage by your nearest cell tower or a weaker signal may result into low or weak signal. Basically the distance between you and your nearest tower determines the quality of signal that you get.
Solution: Keep your phone charged up at good level so that it can work under weak signal. Face yourself in the direction of your nearest cell tower and stand possibly next to a window. Also sometimes holding your phone slightly upside down can also work as most of the in-built antennas are at the bottom side of a mobile.

7. Interference
Cause: Elements like hills, mountains and trees create the most disruption while structures and materials like building, concrete, metal and wire mesh can also obstruct the signal.
Solution: You can install a signal booster at your home or office that collects the signal from outside through an antenna and passes that through a cable into your home or office. Now this signal is amplified and broadcasted into the bad reception areas. The same process is carried in a reverse fashion too (i.e. from mobile to tower) in order to ensure a strong two way communication.
8. Service Provider
Cause: Well some network providers work great in some areas and not in some. Every one of them has their strong areas.
Solution: Find out which service provider has the best coverage in your area. You can simply do this by asking friends and family as they can tell that by their personal experience.

Well the demand of cell phone users is increasing more rapidly than the speed at which more cell phone towers can be installed. So we will have to make use of some or all of the above tricks in order to get the best possible reception.

Paul Kildea
Britten scholar and Artistic Director of the Wigmore Hall curated a special chamber music series for the 2004 Festival of Perth.
Andrew Ford: ......the final song from the Wesendonck lieder of Richard Wagner, one of the studies for Tristan and Isolde, and it was sung there by Yvonne Minton with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Boulez.
It's one of the songs that's in the second in a series of concerts which is part of the Festival of Perth this year, the Wigmore series, it's being referred to, and it's been called that I suppose largely because the curator, I think is the sexy word, the curator of the Wigmore series is Paul Kildea and his day job is actually as Artistic Director of the Wigmore Hall. Welcome back to The Music Show, Paul. Sex and death really, isn't it, this two weeks of concerts?
Paul Kildea:: Yes, not my life, but just in this particular series, and I suppose it was me definitely trying to avoid putting on Winterreise in this series, because of course the theme of the Perth Festival this year is Journey. So it was me trying to avoid that, and come up with perhaps more imaginative ways of looking at that theme in the context of art music.
Andrew Ford: Well maybe before we get on to sex and death, and we could talk about how a "journey" is explored in these chamber concerts.
Paul Kildea:: Sure. If you take that as a starting point and it's a very, very strong theme, I wanted to step away from almost physical journeys, and look at more metaphorical ones, which in the context of 19th century Romanticism, is what they themselves were starting to do, and by the time you get from the early Schubert songs through to something like Harawi by Messiaen we've taken on board the decline of religion, we've taken on board dreamscapes, Nietzsche, Freud, and all of these things affected very much my way of thinking, and of course the way of thinking of these composers, that are featured in this series. And so it was then taking those ideas in looking at repertories that explored those, that made this series have a real coherence I think.
Andrew Ford: It's interesting isn't it, you mentioned Nietzsche and Freud, and then Messiaen, because of course Messiaen for all of Nietzsche and Freud's best efforts, was a devout Roman Catholic.
Paul Kildea:: Yes, Messiaen, I always think of him as this character who developed in complete artistic isolation, and had a very, very strong Catholic upbringing, and beliefs and faith. But he seemed to emerge from almost nowhere, and so you get works like Harawi. And you just think, what are the musical antecedents to this, and what are the precedents to it. And that's what's exciting about his music, I think.
Andrew Ford: Yes. Let's come back to Harawi in a moment, and in fact let's come back to Wagner and the Tristan myth at the same time. But perhaps we could begin with the idea of the art song itself, and then also the song cycle. The song cycle really starts I suppose with Beethoven doesn't it?
Paul Kildea:: Yes, it's definitely Beethoven and his fantastic cycle "An die ferne Geliebte". It's extraordinary piano writing, apart from anything if it's performed really well. But it's a slightly clumpy cycle, as well. So when you see what happens from that, that idea of a narrative stretched across five or so songs and see how that is transformed in Schubert's hands into amazing emotional journeys and cycles of real torment in a very short space of time, in a matter of only ten years or so that that transformation has taken place. You're set up immediately for the marriage of a musical form with an emotional form, and that was very new, this new genre almost, was developed to replicate an emotional landscape.
Andrew Ford: And they're very big pieces the Schubert cycles, aren't they? We're talking about an hour of music, or more even in Schöne Müllerin and Winterreise. Schubert intended them as works to be performed all together, did he, I mean he assumed that the entire cycle would be done?
Paul Kildea:: Yes, definitely. And of course habits have changed. In the very early 20th century, people would pick and choose little bits of Winterreise or something and cherry pick a little bit more of Schöne Müllerin, but now the idea of doing that is just unthinkable, and the whole sort of narrative and momentum that comes from performing the full cycle is what we in the late 20th century through to now, see as appropriate.
Andrew Ford: And there is something very dramatic about them, and they're like little operas of the imagination, aren't they?
Paul Kildea:: Without doubt, and I think the way that people have responded to them, because we're now no longer either just allowed to perform them, so we have to dance Winterreise or we have to skip our way through Schöne Müllerin or film a little bit of it, which is interesting on one level that artists and practitioners from other art forms are so captivated by these little operas of the imagination that they want to interpret them, but to me, there's still nothing more powerful than just hearing this cycle performed in Wigmore Hall or in Perth, where you just are drawn into the world, even though your surroundings are not necessarily conducive to that.
Andrew Ford: The Berlioz which was in the first concert; these are wonderful examples of love songs. This is at least one half of your theme of love and death, but actually there's a certain amount of death hanging around in his Summer Nights song cycle as well, isn't there?
Paul Kildea:: There is, and I think Berlioz, almost like the Elgar Sea Pictures that are performed towards the end of the Festival, even though you can read those poems in Elgar's case in a very Victorian/Edwardian sentiment, lurking beneath the surface in the Berlioz, there is the potential for death, and for instance the tombstone in the cemetery, which is just the stillest and most desolate world in some ways, both harmonically and from the point of view of the text. And so it's a reminder that this is a mid-19th century exploration of the world beneath the surface of love, and of course Schubert had done that. But Schubert had done it in a more melodramatic way, whereas the figure of death features very strongly, almost like mediaeval wood carvings, and so in Death and the Maiden, the figure of Death is a character unto himself, all these fantastic individual songs, where Death is this sort of Grim Reaper type character. What he then does and how he affects the behaviour of either the young man or the young girl is another thing altogether, but it's a really extraordinary world that Berlioz is exploring as much as Schubert did. Paul Kildea we listened to the last of the Wesendonck songs a few minutes ago, everybody knows that Wagner wrote a very big cycle, but I don't think people necessarily associate Wagner with song cycles.
Paul Kildea:: No, because it is a very intimate work and we of course don't think of Wagner in those terms. But it's almost like Mahler, even though the Mahler songs are known so well, there is an intimacy in even the grandest of Wagner's works, and which should be explored. It's our tendency I think, in the 20th century, to turn these works into great monumental pieces, and at their peril, because we often then ignore the intimacy, and I think this particular cycle which is so beautiful is a study of the Tristan opera that he was then writing, but it is also a reminder that there is an intimacy in these grand works, and that we should tease out in any performance of them.
Andrew Ford: And like Mahler's songs, which of course a lot of them ended up in his symphonies, or as starting points for symphonies, as you said, two of these songs in particular are real sketches for Tristan and Isolde. Can you tell us the story of Wagner and Matilda Wesendonck?
Paul Kildea:: Well Matilda Wesendonck was this great looming love of his life, and these songs were an attempt to demonstrate this great love.
Andrew Ford: They're her poems.
Paul Kildea:: Yes, they're her poems indeed and what's extraordinary is this marriage in this instance of her poetry with some music that he was then weaving in to the story of this fated love of Tristan and Isolde to his own work, which he was then writing. So it's a very, very complicated period in Wagner's life, and also a lovely, extraordinary gesture to use this poetry of hers to express his love of her. I don't think that there is the same programmatic element to the songs as there is in the opera, and when I say that, I mean there is a very, very strong programmatic element, but it doesn't end necessarily in death, and the fact that we have this beautiful dreamscape at the end of the Wesendank cycles where you're just left with eternity and love and all the harmony is just sort of caressing those ideas, you think Oh, perhaps this is a successful love story, as opposed to the doomed aspects of the opera Tristan and Isolde.
Andrew Ford: Yes, but the idea of the doomed love is there as well isn't it, in reality, because while Wagner and Matilda were down in the greenhouse, her husband, I think he was a silk merchant wasn't he, was paying Wagner's bills?
Paul Kildea:: Yes, he was. So yes, it was a doomed love story. And also there's the other side of that, that of course if we take Tristan really as Wagner intended it, it's not a doomed love story, because it just means that their love is not possible on earth, but that it is fulfilled in another world. So perhaps that's what we're meant to think at the end of the Wesendank Cycle with this lovely dream, that in fact it's in another world that that love between Matilda and Wagner would be consummated.
Andrew Ford: The distinction between night and death is a blurred one in the opera as well, isn't it, so we're not sure exactly where this relationship is being consummated, whether it's under cover of darkness or under cover of death.
Paul Kildea:: Well that's the preoccupying theme of the second act of Tristan, and it's just extraordinary. I think you know, Schubert was doing this beforehand, and the Romantic imagination was fully activated by the distinction or the similarity between night and death. Night on the one hand being something that covers and hides, and allows people to consummate their love, and that's very much the thing in Tristan. But if you think of the Schubert song, Nacht und Traume; Night, holy night, you sink down, and that is that idea of this amazing new world in which new ideas and new philosophies and love can be explored, and as soon as light shines itself upon the landscape, those ideas and that action can no longer take place. And as you say, that's very much the notion of Tristan in the second act.
Andrew Ford: Yes, and of Debussy's Pelleas and Melisande, which we will skip over now to get to Olivier Messiaen, because while Pelleas was his favourite opera, it's really Wagner's treatment of the Tristan myth which is behind these three pieces by Messiaen from quite early in his career, from the 1940s. And Harawi, the song cycle is one of them, of course the Turangalila Symphony is another one. What's happening in this piece, because we don't really think about sex a lot when we think about Messiaen as a rule; we think about God and we think about birdsong, don't we?
Paul Kildea:: We certainly do, and I think it's partly because this is an early work of his, and it was a very selfconscious exploration of the primitive myth of Tristan, not necessarily Wagner's, but the myth as it stood. And also the complications in his own life, the relationships, the eventual meeting of Yvonne Loriod who was to be his second wife and remain this most extraordinary muse figure as much as companion for the remainder of his life. So we have that as a background to it, but also when I was saying before that we sometimes think of Messiaen just appearing from nowhere, it's pieces like Turangalila and the Harawi cycle that reinforce that notion, because it's hard to see where these pieces come from. And in the case of Harawi, he is trying to explore this most primitive, doomed and also secular, it's a very sort of secular work in a sense, which isn't some of the notions of spirituality that he would explore in other works. And so we have this amazing cycle, which lasts an hour, which is a journey, which has some of his own made-up language and Peruvian words thrown in here and there. And it reminds me again, when I was talking about woodcuts, it does remind me of this amazingly primitive, sketched-out story of love and consummation through death.
Andrew Ford: Nothing will get an audience in or whet their appetites like the song we're about to listen to from Harawi, so we should listen to it with no more ado.
