The present invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design and more particularly to a method for implementing an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) through the use of an iterative process in which an increasingly greater percentage of the ASIC is implemented in the silicon.
2. Description of the Relevant Art
Integrated circuits have widespread applications in electronic systems of every variety. An integrated circuit is comprised of thousands of transistors fabricated on a monolithic crystalline lattice typically comprised of silicon or other semiconductor material. The transistors are selectively interconnected through the use of one or more conductive interconnect layers to achieve a particular functionality, typically dictated by the application to which the integrated circuit is directed.
For some well-known applications such as the more popular microprocessors and memory devices, a single device is suitable for a large number of applications and a large number of customers. Examples of such so-called commodity integrated circuits include, among others, x86 microprocessors and memory devices such as dynamic RAM (DRAM) and static RAM (SRAM) devices. Because commodity products can be sold in large quantities to a large number of customers, dedicated mask sets are typically employed in the fabrication of these devices. The relatively large one time or non-recurring engineering costs associated with the design and layout of a complex set of photomasks suitable for fabricating these commodity devices is typically justified by the extremely large number of units over which these non-recurring costs can be spread. In contrast to the commodity products, application specific or customer specific integrated circuits refer to devices that are customized for the needs of a particular application or a particular customer. Application or customer specific integrated circuits are typically limited in the number of customers or the quantity in which the devices will be sold. Because of the inherently limited markets associated with customer or application specific integrated circuits, non-recurring engineering costs have a more dramatic impact on the per-unit cost of these types of integrated circuits. To combat these relatively higher non-recurring costs associated with customer and application specific integrated circuits (collectively referred to throughout the remainder of this application as ASICs), programmable devices of many varieties have been used for a number of years. In a typical programmable device, a common mask set is used to produce a standardized integrated circuit which can be customized either in the field or at a late stage in the semiconductor fabrication process. By utilizing a common set of photomasks and processing steps, the per-unit cost of programmable integrated circuits is minimized. Programmable integrated circuits, however, are typically unable to maximize the performance and minimize the surface area required to produce a particular integrated circuit function. The sacrifice in performance and increase in surface area (and therefore, per-unit cost) is typically justified for ASICs when the lifetime or total volume of sales expected for a given ASIC is relatively low. In certain applications, however, customers require custom-built integrated circuits and can justify the non-recurring costs associated with the circuits by a large expected net sales volume. Typically, however, the large ASIC customer requires the custom-built circuit to be reduced from a conceptual or behavioral level description to an implemented circuit in silicon in a short period of time. Achieving an adequate turnaround time for the design and implementation of ASICs becomes increasingly harder as the ASIC technology evolves. Because ASIC manufacturing technology is now able to achieve millions of transistors on a single device, the task of designing a suitably complex circuit able to take advantage of this technology requires greater and greater engineering effort and cost. While electronic design automation (EDA) tools have aided in the ability of ASIC designers to reduce the time and cost associated with implementing complex circuits, the evolution or progress of EDA tools has generally failed to keep pace with the ASIC process technology. In other words, while fabrication and manufacturing improvements have enabled ASIC manufacturers to produce increasingly complex and smaller devices, the tools utilized to simplify the design task have not experienced a commensurate improvement. The net result is that ever-increasing pressures are placed on ASIC manufacturer to produce the complex circuits associated with the state-of-the-art devices in a suitable timeframe.
Referring to FIG. 1, a simplified block diagram of a conventional ASIC design flow is presented to understand the difficulty in fabricating complex ASICs in a short period of time. Initially, in the process represented in FIG. 1 by reference numeral 102, the behavior of the system in an abstract sense is defined. At this point in the process, the specific implementation of the system is left undefined and the interrelationships among the various circuit elements that will ultimately comprise the system are temporarily ignored in order to achieve a manageable model. At this stage in the process, the design of the ASIC may be entered with a schematic capture editor or other suitable EDA tool. The system designer then typically attempts to describe the behavioral model defined in process step 102 with a hardware description language (HDL) as shown with respect to reference numeral 104. A hardware description language is a highly specialized software language optimized for describing various elements and the interrelationships among the elements of an electronic system. Well-known hardware description languages include, among others, Verilog HDL and VHDL as will be familiar to those skilled in the field of integrated circuit design. After the integrated circuit has been suitably captured in HDL format, a behavioral synthesis tool is typically employed to produce an RTL representation of the ASIC. An RTL description of an integrated circuit represents a lower level of abstraction than the behavioral model without incorporating all of the in elements that will ultimately comprise the ASIC. An RTL description of an integrated circuit describes the circuit in terms of a plurality of digital registers, clocking circuits, and logic elements that are combined to implement the desired function of the integrated circuit. From the RTL description derived in process step 106, a gate level description of the device is achieved through a gate level synthesis as shown in process step 108. At the gate level, the circuit is described in greater detail than in the RTL description using a combination of common logic gates and circuits such as AND gates, OR gates, XOR gates, counters, adders, and other common logic gates. After a gate level description of the device has been achieved, suitable EDA tools can be employed to produce a netlist consisting of the list of circuit elements required to produce the ASIC and the interconnections among the various elements. From this netlist, suitable place and route programs are used to implement the circuit in a physical design that can be achieved with the process technology chosen for the fabrication of the circuit. After the physical design of the device has been produced, a mask set may be generated and the device fabricated. Suitable testing of the device may then begin to verify that the given circuit performs adequately. The simplified flow shown with respect to FIG. 1 is not meant to be representative of every stage of ASIC development but is rather intended to demonstrate the serial nature of the process. It should be further noted that, at each step represented in FIG. 1, various iterations of the process step are typically undertaken to optimize the performance of the circuit. In addition, a variety of simulation tools are available to simulate the circuit at the various levels of abstraction depicted with respect to FIG. 1.
It will be readily appreciated that the design process depicted in FIG. 1 is a serial process in which each successive step is undertaken only after the preceding step is ultimately completed. The serial nature of the conventional ASIC design flow was typically not thought to be problematic at a time when ASIC designs usually involved less than 100,000 transistors. As the circuit density and complexity of ASIC devices has steadily increased, however, it has become increasingly difficult and time consuming to complete each successive step required in the process. For example, in the time when typical ASICs incorporated less than approximately 100,000 transistors, the layout process represented in FIG. 1 by reference numeral 112 in which the circuit elements are given a physical dimension and location within the integrated circuit, was relatively routine. In addition, the time required to verify the behavior of the system using conventional simulation tools at the system definition level required an acceptably low number of iterations and could typically be accomplished within a time frame suitable for getting the device to market quickly. The problem, however, with the serial nature of the conventional ASIC design flow depicted in FIG. 1 is that the designer is unable to fully verify the device until the end of the design process at which time any mistakes in the design will require at least one or more iterations of the entire cycle.
The problems identified above are in large part addressed by an ASIC design methodology in which portions of the ASIC are implemented in silicon or other suitable semiconductor technology at an early stage in the design flow through the use of a series of interim devices. The invention provides a method in which additional portions or subsystems of the ASIC are incorporated into each successive interim device. In this manner, the invention provides for the gradual incorporation of a plurality of architectural subsystems into the integrated device such that the synthesis and verification of each iteration is manageable. In the preferred embodiment, this design method is facilitated by incorporating a programmable portion into the design flow of each interim device such that each interim device includes a custom portion into which the subsystems that have been implemented in silicon are fabricated and a programmable portion. The programmable portion is useful in permitting the designer to make modifications to the subsystems implemented in the custom portion or to simulate the subsystems of the target device that have yet to be implemented in the custom portion. Utilizing this technique, the present invention discloses a method of designing an ASIC that permits the designer to implement relatively small pieces of the target device independently such that, at any stage in the design, some subsystems of the target device will be defined at the gate level while other subsystems will be defined at the behavioral level.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to introduce a design methodology that permits a designer to verify portions of a design in silicon in gradual stages thereby increasing the probability of detecting design flaws at the earliest possible point in the design process. It is a further object of the invention to reduce the design cycle time for a complex ASIC by breaking the synthesis, layout, and verification tasks into modular units associated with the various subsystems of the target device. It is a further object of this invention to provide the designer with a method of gradually implementing pieces of a design in modular and gradual increments. It is still a further object of the invention to provide a relatively inexpensive and simple method by which designers can accomplish the gradual implementation of a complex ASIC design.
Broadly speaking the present invention contemplates a method of designing a multiple subsystem ASIC in which a first set of the multiple subsystems is designed utilizing an ASIC design flow and implemented in a custom portion of an interim device. A programmable logic portion is incorporated into the interim device by integrating programmable cells into the ASIC design flow. In one embodiment, the subsystems of the target device that have been implemented in the custom portion of the interim device can be verified while the remaining, as yet unimplemented, subsystems of the target device can be simulated in the programmable portion. In addition, the programmable portion may also be utilized to make modifications to the implemented subsystems such as when late changes to the design are introduced or minor problems with the implemented design are discovered. In a typical embodiment, the invention contemplates a series of design iterations, wherein an interim device is produced during each iteration and wherein each successive interim device incorporates a greater percentage of the multiple subsystems into the custom portion of the interim device. Ultimately, this design method culminates in a target device that is substantially or entirely comprised of custom circuitry.
The present invention still further contemplates a method of producing an ASIC using an iterative process in which a plurality of interim devices are fabricated, verified, and optimized, prior to achieving the target device. Each interim device includes a custom portion into which a custom implementation of one or more subsystems of the ASIC are fabricated. Each successive iteration of the interim device preferably incorporates an increasing percentage of the target device into a custom portion of the interim device. In the preferred embodiment, each interim device includes a programmable portion that may be programmably interface to the custom portion. The programmable portion is preferably suitable for simulating the subsystems of the ASIC not implemented in the custom portion or for programming modifications to the subsystems that have been implemented in the custom portion. In one embodiment, the percentage of each successive interim device consumed by the programmable portion decreases until, ultimately, the target device is achieved in which none or substantially none of the target device comprises programmable logic. The invention contemplates that the programmable portion and custom portion of each interim device are fabricated as a single device on a common substrate such as single crystal silicon to achieve optimum performance between the programmable portion and the custom portion. In various embodiments, the programmable portion of each interim device may be comprised of field programmable logic such as a FPGA or mask programmable logic.
The present invention still further contemplates a method of designing an ASIC in which a first subsystem of the ASIC is implemented in a custom portion of a first interim device and, thereafter, verified and optimized. A second subsystem of the ASIC is subsequently implemented in a custom portion of a second device. The second interim device includes, in addition to the second subsystem, the first subsystem and an appropriate interface between the two. Utilizing this technique, verification and optimization of the second interim device is accomplished by merely verifying and optimizing the second functional subsystem and the interface. In the preferred embodiment, the implementation of the first and second functional subsystems each includes an ASIC design flow in which a behavioral model of the subsystem is defined, an RTL description of the subsystem is generated from the behavioral model, a gate level description is produced from the RTL description, a netlist is generated from the gate level description, and the netlist is input to a place and route tool to generate an appropriate layout database. In the preferred embodiment, the process of defining the behavioral model of each subsystem includes simulating and refining the behavioral model to verify and optimize the model's functionality. In the preferred embodiment, the behavioral model is described with a suitable hardware description language. In one embodiment, the invention incorporates a programmable logic section within each interim device wherein each programmable logic section is programmably interfaceable to its corresponding subsystem. The programmable section is adapted to be programmed to simulate operation of the second subsystem in one embodiment. The incorporation of the programmable logic section into the first interim device is achieved, in one embodiment, utilizing a PLD compiler to generate appropriate PLD files and embedding these PLD files within the ASIC design flow used to implement the first subsystem. The preferred embodiment of the invention contemplates additional iterations of the described process wherein additional successive interim devices are fabricated during each additional iteration, and wherein each successive interim device incorporates an increasingly greater portion of the ASIC in custom circuitry.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description presented herein are not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiment disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 200 according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, ASIC 200 comprises a plurality of functional subsystems 202 a, 202 b, and 202 c (collectively referred to as subsystems 202). Each of the subsystems 202 is interconnected over appropriate interconnections 204 and interfaced to the external world through and I/O bus 206 that is typically connected to input/output pins of the package that contains ASIC 200. Although FIG. 2 depicts three individual subsystems 202, it will be readily appreciated that ASIC 200 may comprise a larger number of functional subsystems. Those familiar with the market for ASICs will appreciate that time-to-market, which represents the amount of type a semiconductor manufacturer has to develop a product from inception to working silicon and volume production, has decreased to less than a year. The rapid evolution of hardware and technology reduces the profitable lifetime of typical semiconductor products thereby increasing the pressure on semiconductor manufacturers to decrease their design cycle times. Significantly decreasing design cycle times, a monumental challenge in itself, is made yet more difficult by the rate at which semiconductor technology has improved. More specifically, improvements in ASIC technology have resulted in a dramatic explosion in the number of useable gates available to systems and logic designers. This rapid increase in the number of available gates has not, unfortunately, been accompanied by a similarly exponential improvement in the ability of electronic design automation (EDA) tools to synthesize and simulate ever increasing number of gates. Designers can not expect to bring their devices to market in a realistic time frame utilizing traditional gate level design. In other words, designers cannot start from scratch with each new design and still hope to produce the part in a time frame that is acceptable to the marketplace. To address these problems, ASIC designers are typically required to utilize existing so-called core cells comprised of complex, but fully defined circuitry. Because the circuitry of core cells is fully defined, the behavior of these cells is essentially predictable and designers can incorporate large subsystems into their designs. By enabling designers to focus their activities on proprietary circuitry and functionality surrounding the basic functional blocks, core cells are an invaluable device for decreasing design cycle times in complex ASIC designs.
Regardless of whether a give ASIC design incorporates core cells as described above, a typical ASIC 200 includes two or more subsystems 202. For purposes of this disclosure, a subsystem 202 may be thought of as a block of circuitry designed to achieve a particular function necessary to the overall operation of ASIC 200. Common examples of various types of subsystems that one might expect to encounter in the design of an ASIC include, for example, counters, digital signal processors (DSPs), processors, bus interface controllers, image processing units, floating point units, and a variety of peripheral functions. Each subsystem 202 typically includes complex circuitry that is time consuming to synthesize, simulate, test, and optimize using available EDA tools. When a complex ASIC, such as ASIC 200 of FIG. 1, incorporates two or more subsystems 202, the effort required to achieve an acceptable cycle time increases dramatically. The present invention contemplates a reduction in the design cycle time by disclosing a process and associated device types that permit the designer to verify subsystems of their designs at early stages in the design and to gradually incorporate and verify additional subsystems onto the verified circuitry. This methodology permits portions of the ASIC 200 to be defined in the behavioral sense while other portions have been defined at the RTL level while still other subsystems 202 are implemented at the gate level. In this manner, the disclosed design process permits concurrent development of the various subsystems and further permits a gradual process of combining the various subsystems into an integrated whole.
More specifically, the ASIC design methodology of the present invention contemplates, in a presently preferred embodiment, an iterative process in which one or more interim devices are fabricated prior to the actual fabrication of the targeted or desired ASIC 200. Each of these interim devices includes a custom portion in which a customized implementation of one or more of the subsystems 202 of ASIC 200 is fabricated. Turning now to FIG. 3, a preferred embodiment for an interim device 300 of the type contemplated herein is depicted in simplified block diagram format. As shown in FIG. 3, interim device 300 includes a custom portion 302 in which a customized implementation of one or more of the subsystems 202 of FIG. 1 is fabricated. For purposes of this disclosure, references to custom or customized circuitry refer to circuitry that has been highly optimized in terms of performance, space, and power consumption for the particular task towards which the subsystem is directed and is presented in contrast to non-customized circuits such as a circuit derived from any of a variety of programmable circuits including, for example, field programmable and mask programmable gate arrays.
In the preferred embodiment, customized subsystem 202 a of interim device 300 is achieved utilizing an ASIC design flow in which a behavioral description of subsystem 202 a is generated, possibly with the aid of schematic capture tools or other suitable ADE tools, and typically expressed with appropriate software code utilizing a hardware description language (HDL). This behavioral model HDL is then typically manipulated with an appropriate ADE synthesis tool to produce a register transfer level (RTL) description of subsystem 202 a. The RTL description of subsystem 202 a describes the subsystem in terms of various types of register, clock circuits, and surrounding logic and represents a lower level of abstraction (i.e. is less abstract), than the behavioral model. Progressing towards ever lower levels of abstraction, the next step in the ASIC design flow produces a gate level description of subsystem 202 from the RTL description. As its name implies, a gate level description of subsystem 202 a represents the subsystem in terms of interconnected logic elements such as simple AND gates, OR gates, multiplexers, shifters, and the like. From the gate level description, a netlist of subsystem 202 a is produced. The netlist comprises a list of the circuit elements needed to produce the subsystem, the required interconnections between the various elements, and any constraints associated with the design or process technology. A suitable place and route tool is then utilized to generate an initial floor plan or layout database of the subsystem. The layout database provides the information necessary to manufacture suitable photomasks that will be used in the fabrication of the interim device. Those familiar with integrated circuit design will appreciate that the design flow described is designed to produce a customized circuit that is highly optimized to achieve the desired functionality of subsystems 202 a while requiring the fewest number of devices, the smallest possible die size, consuming the least amount of power, and producing the highest achievable performance or speed.
In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 3, interim device 300 includes, in addition to custom portion 302, a programmable portion 304. Programmable portion 304 of interim device 300 includes any variety of programmable logic. In one embodiment, for example, the generation of the custom portion 304 of interim device 300 is integrated with the ASIC design flow described above by utilizing a tool such as a conventional PLD compiler to produce the necessary files to be incorporated in the ASIC design flow. With this design methodology, the quantity and placement of the programmable cells 306 within programmable portion 304 of interim device 300 can be easily controlled. It is contemplated that, at the inception of the design process, when the designer has completed little of the actual implementation of any of the subsystems 202 of ASIC 200, the programmable portion 304 of the interim devices such as interim device 300 will comprise a large percentage of total die area. As the design process proceeds, the subsequent interim devices will incorporate more and more of subsystems 202 in a custom implementation and the amount of circuitry required for programmable portion 304 will decrease.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the programmable portion 304 described above, is interfaced to subsystems within custom portion 302 through interface 308. Programmable portion 306 may be suitably programmed to simulate the contemplated operation or functionality of the subsystems 202 of ASIC 200 that have not been implemented within custom portion 302. This embodiment allows for the designer to produce portions of the overall design in programmable logic to verify basic functionality and compatibility with the custom implemented subsystems 202 before subsystems have been finally reduced to a particular silicon implementation. In addition, the programmable portion 304 of interim device 300 may be suitably utilized to implement minor modifications or late changes to the implement subsystems within custom portion 302 of interim device 300. This flexibility free designers from the fear that last minute changes such as minor changes in a protocol associated with a custom implemented subsystem will significantly delay the verification and optimization process. Instead, such changes can be implemented through the interfaced programmable logic. This mechanism provides a solution that is superior to a solution using an external or separate PLD because the single chip solution reduces the system cost and provides superior performance to a solution in which the custom implemented subsystem 202 is interfaced with an external PLD that is programmed to reflect or implement minor alterations to the subsystem.
It will be appreciated that the method of the present invention contemplates an iterative process suggested by the flow diagram of FIG. 5. Initially, the component subsystems of a complex ASIC architecture are defined in step identified in FIG. 5 by reference numeral 502. A set of one or more the defined subsystems is then implemented in a custom design on a first interim device as indicated in process step 504. The custom implemented subsystem are mapped into the custom portion of the interim device while, simultaneously, programmable logic portions are mapped into a programmable section of the interim device using the integrated PLD/ASIC design flow described above. The custom portions of the interim device can then be verified, tested, and optimized while their basic compatibility with the as yet un-implemented portions can be tested by suitably programming the programmable portions of the interim device to emulate one or more of the remaining subsystems. Verification and optimization of the custom implemented subsystems is also facilitated by the incorporation of the programmable portions onto the interim device by permitting minor changes in the customized subsystems to be implemented in the programmable logic as described previously. The iterative process then repeats by incorporating additional subsystems into the customized design flow and implementing these additional subsystems in the custom portion of a subsequent interim device. Turning to FIG. 4, a second interim device 400 is depicted. Second interim device 400, like the interim device 300 depicted in FIG. 3, includes a custom portion 402 and a programmable portion 404. Custom portion 402 of second interim device 400 includes a custom implementation of subsystems 202 a (like custom portion 302 of interim device 300), but further includes a customized implementation of an additional subsystem 202 b. It will therefore be appreciated that the percentage of second interim device 400 devoted to custom portion 402 is greater than the percentage of the previous interim device 300 dedicated to custom portion 302 while the percentage of second interim device 400 devoted to programmable portion 404 is less than the percentage of interim device 300 devoted to programmable portion 302. Thus, the invention contemplates a gradually design process in which an increasing percentage of the final device is brought out or implemented in silicon (or other suitable semiconductor technology) in a series of interim devices culminating, ultimately, in a final device devoted almost exclusively to customized circuitry (a small amount of programmable logic may still be desirable to facilitate entry of any last minute design fixes).
Turning to FIG. 6, a more detailed representation of a design flow in accordance with the present invention is presented. In the depiction of FIG. 6, the design flow is presented in two dimensions. Each successive column 602 in the flow represents a subsequent phase in the design flow, with the column 602 a representing the earliest phase, at which little if any of the ASIC architecture has been fully implemented and the left most column 602 e representing the final phase at which substantially all of the contemplated ASIC has been implemented. Within each phase 602 of the design, moving from the top row 604 a to the bottom row 604 c, EDA tools are utilized to produce behavioral, RTL, and gate level descriptions of various subsystems of the ASIC, and fast prototyping methods are employed to produce a succession of interim devices suitable for verifying the silicon implementation of various subsystems of the design. This process represents a significant improvement over conventional, serial design methodology in which the silicon verification of each of the various subsystems must wait until the entire device has finalized and implemented. The depiction in FIG. 6 illustrates how, with the defined methodology, various portions of the ASIC exist at various levels of definition during the design process, with some subsystems defined down to the gate level while others are defined only at the behavioral level. Thus, instead of a conventional process in which the architecture is defined, then an appropriate algorithm is generated, followed finally by an implementation of the entire algorithm, the present process contemplates that portions of the layout will be proceeding concurrently with the architectural definition of other subsystems.
Turning to FIG. 7, a diagram is presented which highlights the integration of the PLD design flow with the ASIC flow to permit the concurrent design method contemplated herein. At each stage 702 of the process, portions of the design are mapped into a customized portion of the interim device using an ASIC design flow while the remaining portions of the design are mapped into programmable logic utilizing a PLD flow. At each stage a PLD compiler or other suitable generation tool produces the files that are incorporated into the customized ASIC flow thereby permitting a relatively painless integration of the programmable portions with the customized portions of the process. The diagram of FIG. 7 further highlights the gradual evolution of the interim devices from essentially full PLD in the early stages of the process to full custom at the tail end of the process when the design can be signed off.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure that the present invention contemplates an improved methodology for implementing a complex ASIC design. It is understood that the form of the invention shown and described in the detailed description and the drawings are to be taken merely as presently preferred examples. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted broadly to embrace all the variations of the preferred embodiments disclosed.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
After reading many blogs about the topic of fake followers, I decided to do some investigating on the topic for myself. I found that the business of buying and selling fake Twitter followers is booming, according to a study by Barracuda Labs: Among the top 100 Google search results for the term "buy Twitter followers" are roughly 58 websites and 20 eBay sellers that offer various bundles of fake followers for sale. The average cost of 1,000 fake Twitter followers is just $18.
The study began in May 2012 when Barracuda Labs set up three Twitter accounts and purchased between 20,000-70,000 followers for each account on eBay and Google. After analyzing these followers' profiles and tweets this is what Barracuda Found:
Dealers (those users who create fake accounts and sell followings):
There are 20 eBay sellers and 58 websites (within top 100 returns of searching "buy twitter followers" in Google) where people can buy (fake) followers
Twitter username is used to purchase, no authentication is required
The average price of buying 1000 followers is $18
A Dealer can control as many as ~150,000 or more Twitter followers (contact@kashifrox)
A Dealer can earn as much as $800/day for 7 weeks of selling followings if they can control 20,000 fake accounts (estimated on several random fake accounts reaching 2000 followings in 7 weeks and assume each following involved a minimum $20 purchase)
In addition to selling followings from these fake accounts, there are numerous opportunities for expansion into other services: selling tweets/re-tweets to earn additional profits
Abusers are defined as those users who buy followers (most of which are fake) in order to look more popular or to use the accounts for selling ads:
Fake Accounts are those created by dealers for selling followings or tweeting. In total, Barracuda found 72,212 unique fake accounts; among them:
Barracuda also reviewed the 17% spike in a presidential candidate's Twitter following. You can read more about it here (its towards the bottom of the study).
What do you think of this study?
Well said Gary May! If you look at this article http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lost-your-google-reviews-take-a-proactiv... you will see that Google targeted automotive for heavy spamming when it came to fake reviews, hence the recent issue with "lost Google reviews" across the country, which also hurt the dealers who were doing it the correct way. Fake reviews, fake likes, fake followers, how does any of it help our industry which constantly struggles with how the public perceives it?
Keith, I've done mine on StatusPeople four times the last few days and it's the same everytime.
92% Active, 8% Inactive, 0% Fake. 1808 Followers
One of the things folks do now is to follow someone to get them to follow you back. How can that be beneficial? Two ways, at least. First, you might get "natural" growth in followers if folks see that activity (or you get the "Golden Tickets" of some retweets!). Second, if you are purchasing an automated service you can add a lot of followers by thousands of folks being added to your "follow" effort by a robot and thus greatly increasing your efforts at the reciprocal follow. And, then, you get an automated "unfollow" (which happens silently) of your targets that don't "follow" you--so that you can depend on them being alerted AGAIN each time you "follow" them again!
A Twisted Twitter FollowYou/FollowMe Version of SPAM!
I'm currently tracking a dealer doing this today. So far, he's followed me and unfollowed me sixteen times with the robots trying to solicit a reciprocal follow from me. Uck!
I do laugh, though, at how desperate folks get for that large audience. It's likely just part of a service he bought (and constitutes a twitter TOS violation "aggressive follower churn", if he gets caught).
Oh. And one of the things for brands is that they buy advertising through tweets. Say, Aston Kutcher talks about his new Gucci wallet.
Now, let's theoretically make you a well-known social media person. Even in, say, automotive. And you want to charge someone to use your Twitter account to talk about their item/brand/etc.. So you pump up your audience by buying these kinds of false account follows and also fake followers. And, like the old Neilsen boxes for TV, you charge for the advertising vs. the size of the audience. And maybe it's buried in the rest of your "use my social media".
It's the old political "votes from the graveyard" schtick.
Is it just a theory?
Apologies to Ketty and Christine as to the authorship of the other post on this subject.
Gary May @imacsweb: 90% active twitter, 9% inactive, 1% fake. 3365 total followers. Awesome!
Keith Shetterly @keithshetterly: 91% active, 5% inactive, 4% fake. 218 followers. Not many, but very real.
That is using Micah's recommended tool http://fakers.statuspeople.com/Fakers/V/1.
Anybody else care to share their stats? Post them here! :)
Simply put, the business of typical social media services companies in (and around) automotive is disgusting. What's more is that dealers buy it every day without, apparently, thinking twice. I just emailed a dealer principal at a 2-store group in NC due to their horrible social media tactics and vendor (after the GSM hung up on me once hearing my company name as a courtesy call).
Whether dealers buy because the vendor has NADA or other conference parties, or because someone in a 20 Group has "success" with them, dealerships continue to buy garbage services or simply make the decision to go down the road of buying audiences. A sister store to one of our clients did this a year and a half ago, with a one-month spread of Facebook fans gong from 649 likes to over 18,000 likes.
Nothing easy yields positive results. business owners know this. It's just a shame that due to a myriad of excuses, there are now "too many balls to keep in the air".
The quicker that dealers and GMs recognize that automated service do NOTHING for their businesses, the faster they'll start thinking again and go down the right road.
Simply put, it takes, time, money and EFFORT to build results. Not a $1,000-4,000 a month social media company that never calls, you never see and publishes the same exact content on 800 other dealership social networks. Stop it.
Gary May
This reminds me of an old marketing adage: "There is NO right or wrong measured in marketing. The only measurable are the results."
Buying fans or followers is stupid, unless you are judged by how many fans or followers you have accumulated. Quantity over quality misses the boat with social. It's all about your target audience.
They want a bigger social media foot print, just like the NYT article noted, that's why you buy followers.
Keith and Kevin - From what I have seen, people buying Fans, Followers, Subscribers, etc. are not doing so because they seek engagement with customers or clients... That is not the motivation. In many cases it is a marketing services supplier doing so to satisfy their client's demands for "measurable performance" and is used to fuel their ROI validation. In many other cases, it is used by consultants, authors, speakers, etc. to show that they are popular or relevant. In still other cases, it is purely for ego fulfillment and bragging rights. What I would REALLY like to see, because I know who they are, is for some other ADM members to describe how and why they purchased Fans-Followers-Subscribers. Like many issues in the use of social media, unless you have done it, your opinion is exactly that... an opinion. Those of us who have done it can report first hand the reasons why, how we did it and what the results were. DON'T MAKE ME CALL YOU OUT!

I like this game. It has a really great concept. The longer I kept playing the more the music seemed familiar to me but I couldn't put my finger on it. It reminds me of Sword and Sworcery.
Really cool and unique and the art was good. As a demo, it's really awesome and I'm sure the full game will be great too. It was interesting trying to play multiplayer on my own! Haha. Quaaack.
xD i hardly laughed my ass off when i died so often the quak is funny... game is challenging , good arts ^^ ...

Elements of Motion: 3D Sensors in Intuitive Game Design
Technical Paper
A video game system comprises a platform, a display, one or more I/O interfaces known as controllers, and software. The platform can be a computer or a dedicated console; the display, which may be housed with the platform, is often audiovisual; and controllersused to play the game, can range from mice and keyboards, to panel-bound buttons, scroll wheels, and joysticks to two-handed "gamepads" and freely moving wireless devices that simulate the physical motions involved in the game.
In recent months, new generations of sophisticated gaming hardware containing high-end computer systems using dual-core processors have been introduced. Furthermore, the three new console systems currently competing for the market's attention have more computing- and graphics horsepower than do many computers. For serious gamers, multi-GPU (graphical processing unit) video cards are viewed as a worthwhile investment. Of all the advances in processing, graphics, sound, and even the games themselves, the most momentous change is the introduction of intuitive, motion-based game control.
This article reviews the current capabilities of gaming systems, describes how game elements can enableor preventintuitive game design, and how existing control hardware limits game design. Also discussed are: the operating principles of the 3D motion sensors used in the next generation of gaming systems, how motion sensing decreases the learning curve for beginning and expert gamers, and the important specifications and development principles with which game developers need to be familiar.

Advertisement A new post by the developers of Project Cars says that their ridiculously detailed racing game will be supporting Sony's VR headset: Virtual reality is a perfect fit for racing games since the game world literally comes rushing towards you from the distance and the increased sense of depth and speed that stereoscopic vision affords you makes this incredibly real and tangible. So when you're racing you get a much better perception of distances and position and you feel far more enveloped by that world rather than just looking through a window at it.Project Morpheus also allows you to see detail you might have otherwise missed… Via our interior cameras not only can you look around the cockpit and see everything from a first-person perspective, but using head-tracking via the PlayStation®Camera you can also now move around the cockpit too – peer closer at some intricate detail or turn around and look out of the back window.Oddly, that bit of hype from Slightly Mad runs slightly counter to what Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida told Kotaku about how racing games have fared on Project Morpheus: "We had a demo for a driving game with the tech, and that was really great when I drove slowly," Yoshida said. "I could view the scenery. It's no longer racing. It's driving, driving through scenery. But when I put on the gas and started driving [fast], it was too much." He said that "many people" who tried it felt ill.Now, the game in question could've been something other than Project Cars. And Slightly Mad may have found ways around the problems that Yoshida mentioned, too. It'd be weird for the studio to announce that they're supporting a hardware/viewing platform that ruins their game. So, at this point, it's just a waiting game until a demo of Project Cars happens on Project Morpheus.Reply65 repliesLeave a reply

IK outs iLoud speakers, iRig BlueBoard MIDI pedalboard
IK Multimedia has announced three new music peripherals, beginning with the iLoud and iLoud Mini, a pair of lithium ion-powered portable speakers. Despite being portable the units are said to have monitor-like accuracy, and significant power. The Mini's output is rated at 12W RMS, while the regular iLoud scales up to 40W RMS.

 Users can connect a guitar, bass, or microphone for practices and performances, and for casual listening, stream music to the speakers via Bluetooth. A stereo input jack on each unit supports gear like mixers and MP3 players. The speakers should be out sometime in the second quarter of the year, with prices of $300 for the standard model and $200 for the Mini. Also due next quarter is the iRig BlueBoard, a MIDI pedalboard. The peripheral connects to a Mac or iOS device via Bluetooth instead of a cable, but should work with any MIDI- or Core MIDI-compatible app. It features four lit switches, and two TRS jacks for adding extra pedals or switches. The BlueBoard will cost $100; it requires four AAA batteries and a Bluetooth 4.0-equipped Mac or iOS device. |

Yesterworld Lyrics
Artist: Dark Tranquillity
Album: A Moonclad Reflection
[lyrics: Stanne]
Over the moor of mist and through valleys of fate
I fly on my voyage through this moonlit landscape
of re-emerged figments of imagination
I am aroused in sleep....aroused in sleep
Far beyond the gate which reflects in the closed eye
reveal that a dreamscape lies therein
A yearning for a world
where the everlost find their peace
In the pearly gates of dawn
on the astral feed of minds
- envenomed to the bone
forever cleansed from all called wrath
as slumber sneaks upon
and steals the thought of man
all ridden from inner aggression...
A voyage beyond this world
In this paralell to real life
- access lies in dreams
Unveil hidden secrets in our sleep
- the key to what's beyond
In the wake of man we see
essential dreams unfulfilled
Enhance the value of life
engraved words on the page of man
In the presence of the moon
an owl awakes and calls a name
tells a story of a world
accessable only at night...
"This ain't no dream..."
Legend tells of a yesterworld
a dreamscape of strange light
"It's your dream coming true"
Transcendance of the soul
All by the sign of the moon
I am eaten away in mouthfuls by flames
that burn in the errors of our ways
In a night when the sky floats blue
as touquoise, and the stars of silver are twinkling
in their outmost pride
Now from dimensions fallen from the skies
- like the flow of a stream
From my sleep I continue onward
- sleep is just a shape of destiny
Weak sunlight of dawns to come,
dancing swiftly in the shadows
Shimmering, shining in a landscape of dreams
...landscape of my dreams
Dim reflections of the pale
a shade of grey in mind
In the presence of the moon
an owl awakes and calls a name
tells a story of a world
accessable only at night...
"It's your reality..."
Legend tells of a yesterworld
a dreamscape of strange light
"It's much more than a dream"
Transcendance of the soul
All by the sign of the moon
Soon these worlds will be one
and mankind feasts on the sights of it all
I yearn for things to come
Still wrapped in the thrall of slumber
as the mist slippes away to reveal...
And the wind tears a scream from my lips
- I am there....
In the dreamscape I adore
(a moonclad reflection)

This is the kind of stuff that makes my blood boil! I'm watching fox news in the background around 8:30 AM Eastern this morning, and they showed a video clip of a Pastor reading his Bible out loud (no bullhorn, no yelling. Just reading aloud), in the parking lot of a department of motor vehicles. Well well, a Cale-for-neia highway patrol officer was ordered to remove the Bible from the Pastor's hands, and arrest him. Yep, handcuffs behind back, etc., My questions: 1. What happened to MY Country? Is this really happening? 2. Was the Pastor causing a disturbance putting himself or others in danger, or disrupting businesses? NO!!!!!!!!!! 3. What if he was a towel head reading the koran? Would he have been arrested? HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never would have happened!! 4. What about the occupy this and occupy that shitheads with no jobs disrupting businesses, Wall St, etc.,? They were ONLY arrested when they fought, or did something else criminal. 5. When are we going to say enough is enough and take OUR Country back BY FORCE restoring the US Constitution? The last I heard, Freedom of Speech was legal via US Constitution. BUT not for Christians though...
Nice try LEAP. Mark Mackey and Brett Coronado of Calvary Chapel Hemet often read the Bible or preach in public areas, such as parks and malls. This time, Mackey was reading aloud from the Bible while standing about 50 feet from the Department of Motor Vehicles, which was closed. But the two were arrested because the 15 people waiting in line for the DMV to open were considered to be a "captive audience." The exchange was captured on video: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=1567704 These guys were pissing people off by preaching to them in annoyingly loud voices while innocent bystanders were just minding their own business, waiting in line. They were intentionally being a public nuisance and victimizing their captive audience. Oh, yeah. You're full of shit, LEAPup.
Would've been OK though if it was the Black Panthers handing out reward posters for the killing of Zimmerman... Or speaking on a loud speaker to that effect... Welcome to your new tyranny Americans!
Here's the video ******** type="text/javascript" src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=1536482417001&w=466&h=263"></script>Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com It seems Barron has blocked videos today. Anyway here is the link to the story and video. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/29/taking-liberties-arrested-for-reading-bible/
Yes, of course that would be ok. It is california. You have to understand, we have a First Amendment to the Constitution, which protects the rights of liberals, big media companies, leftist thugs of any ilk, race hustlers, union goons and their paid mobs, eg Occupy scum, et al, to take over streets , parks, etc destroy peoples' lives, make it impossible for them to work or get to work and generally engage in anarchy. The First Amendment also mandates that any observation of traditional religion be carried out in private behind closed doors. lest some libera, atheist, homo activist or muslim be offended or upset. I hope I was able to clear this up for you.
The First Ammendement has a "Free Exercise" clause... The state must have a "compelling interest" in order to stop you from certain religious practices... Preaching on the street does not prove a "compelling interest"... The U.S. is now actively engaged in discriminating against Christians for the benefits of minorities and other religious groups...! For the record I'm an ex-believer turned atheist but that doesn't mean that I hate Christianity like all these other losers.

SmartphoneTradeIn.com: Smartphone Trade-Ins Can Cover Cost of 10 Top Holiday Toys
Smartphone Trade-ins Help Boost Budgets for Holiday Spending on Favorite Toys like Furby, Lego, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Nov 01, 2012, 08:59 ET from SmartphoneTradeIn.com
MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the holiday shopping season approaches, many families are already starting to think about how they'll pay for it all. Retailers are rolling out promotions such as revamped layaway plans in an effort to help consumers budget for gifts, and to capture a share of the $750 that families are expected to spend. But instead of layaway or credit cards, Marc Leff, C.O.O. of SmartphoneTradeIn.com (www.smartphonetradein.com) suggests that consumers use old cell phones to pay for kids' wish lists.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121101/NY03701-INFO )
By trading in a Blackberry, Samsung, HTC, Motorola, iPhone or most other models, consumers can cover the cost of many of the popular items on this year's hottest toys list. "Many people might never think to trade in their old smartphones to help cover tight holiday budgets, but there is a huge, untapped cash value in these mobile devices, " said Leff. "SmartphoneTradeIn.com offers a fast and simple single page web experience, and a check is sent back to the consumer only one-to-two days after a phone is received."
The experts at SmartphoneTradeIn.com demonstrate how trading in the following smartphones can cover the cost of 10 of this season's hottest toys*:
-- Gelarti Designer Studio $24.99 |

QuintilesIMS Institute Forecast: Global Drug Market Will Reach Nearly $1.5 Trillion in 2021 as Spending Growth Moderates
Worldwide spending on cancer medicines will exceed $150 billion by 2020, driven by the emergence of expensive new therapies that help the immune system to attack tumors, according to a global oncology report released by IMS Health Holdings on Thursday.
Spending on cancer medicines totaled $107 billion worldwide in 2015 and is projected to exceed $150 billion by 2020, reflecting adoption of newer, pricier therapies, according to a report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics.
Washington Post
A flood of innovative cancer treatments helped fuel an 11.5 percent surge in spending on oncology drugs over the past year -- to $107 billion globally, according to a new report. But there's a crucial question the study can't quite answer: How much are patients benefiting from this expanding arsenal of high-priced drugs?
CBS MoneyWatch
The total cost of oncology drugs and supportive care medications surged 11.5 percent in 2015 to reach $107 billion globally, according to a new study from IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics. The spending is based on invoice prices, the amount hospitals or pharmacies paid to distributors.
QuintilesIMS Institute App is now available for download on all iOS and Android devices:

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for entrusting me to answer your question. If you didn't change anything about his employment, then on what grounds is he alleging retaliation? A claim of retaliation requires showing that the employer took adverse employment action against the employee in response to the employee engaging in protected conduct (taking disability, reporting labor code violations, etc.) Please clarify for me. Thanks so much.
When he was original brought to the company he was told he would be an independent contractor and paid $15 per hour to equal $600 per 40 hour week. He did make his own hours within the hours of our hours of operation, but we supplied him with everything he needed to do his job. He was supposed to bring in his own clients and then work into a commission based position and run a department. He was not able to do that and needed the weekly money we paid him. We then raised him to $16.25 an hour and if he worked a full 40 hours would make $650 a week. He no longer needed to worry about relying on clients to make a commission off of. He did this for about 2.5 years. He preferred to remain as an independent contractor because he owed back taxes and he needed to work that out.
