thread_title:  Paperfoam packaging 

message: i may be wrong about this, but i seem to recall that at the time of the release of the early K chips some popular commercial had exploited undocumented intel x86 features.   the K chips which only supported the published spec didn't run this stuff (and i've forgotten what it was) reliably.
:This is highly unlikely.  When AMD reverse engineered that Intel instruction set, they did not just go with what was documented.  They did complete pin signal level reverse engineering, as well as a lot of software reverse engineering to figure out the entire instruction tree of the Pentium family of CPUs.  So AMD was fully aware of even the undocumented instructions.
:Starting with the P6 family however, Intel introduced the concept of "MSRs" or "model specific registers" which are not feasible to fully reverse engineer (there are 4 billion of them, and each may be associated with an internal state machine of arbitrary complexity.)  Fortunately, the architectural specification of these registers state that their meaning may change with processor version and that general software should *NOT* rely on their consistent definition -- i.e., only Operating Systems, drivers and special tools should ever use them.  Nevertheless in the Athlon, AMD implemented the special "performance monitoring" MSRs as well as write combining and certain cache control MSRs which were either documented, or exposed by software which AMD was able to reverse engineer.  In real software, however, there should not be any noticed discrepancy because of MSR usage.
:Another issue, however, was performance of certain instructions.  The AMD K6 had an extremely fast "LOOP" instruction.  Unfortunately, some poorly written Ethernet drivers used to use this instruction for a predictable delay in speed.  As such, Intel had been actually slowing down the relative clock through of this instruction over time, so that its overall speed was roughly constant so that this software continued to work.  AMD did no such thing, and when their processors hit 332.5 Mhz all of a sudden these Ethernet drivers started to fail badly.  Microsoft eventually issued a path, and future revisions of AMD CPUs were forced to slow down the LOOP instruction just like Intel did.  I don't know if they continued this in the K8 line of CPUs.
however, free software also written to published specs ran fine, which made the AMD processors the darlings of the free software world, as they worked fine and were cheap.  so AMD may have gotten a big boost from bsd, linux, etc.  
:I think both AMD and Intel CPUs work just fine with "free software".  AMD's CPUs tend to be *cheaper* which is probably the *real* reason it was considered a darling of the free software world.
i'm really not sure if this is factual or just a nice story, but it would be nice if someone could check it out.  if it's correct it probably belongs in the article as it demonstrates the way standards adhearance affects the market.
:Remember, that in a sense, Intel used to *set* the standard, and that included the documentation.  However, this has generally been a minor issue with AMD CPUs as their implementations always tended to be extremely close to Intel's standard.  (Certainly far closer than Cyrix, or other clone makers.)
::I think that what may be coming to mind was the K6 issue with Windows 95.  There was a "software timing loop" issue in certain versions of Windows 95 that caused windows protection errors (and spontaneous system lockup/no boot) due to the high clock speeds used by AMD in the K6-2/350 and up processors.  The relevant knowledge base article is here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUServicePacks/AMDPatch/Default.asp
::This was not a processor issue, it was a software problem (and therefore not particularly relevant to AMD).  I suggest someone either address this item in the appropriate processor line article, or simply prune this discussion topic.

message: I removed the following statement
:The easy cooperation by these companies is an early indication of the weakness of this case, and it remains to be seen how far AMD will go when the first hearing is in 2008.
It is unsourced POV. Normally I would tag it with a citation needed but in this case, I removed it because I feel it's a bit weak. I'm not a legal expert but I see no reason to assume the cooperation gives an indication of the weakness of the case. The companies subpoened are not under any legal threat/risk at the moment as the case is against Intel. While a successful lawsuit could potentially damage any relationship they have with Intel and their cooperation could make Intel angry, it's rather difficult IMHO to say for sure what these companies would do. On the face of it, it makes most sense for them not to cooperate too much, but not to be too resistant either. Why annoy either AMD or Intel? But it depends a lot on the circumstances. The companies might not be pleased about losing their rebates etc, but they probably don't like the threats. Also, they might feel they might put themselves at greater risk from either AMD or various governments if they don't cooperate so they might see no reason to put themselves at such risk for Intel (and if Intel tried to harm or blackmail them because of the lawsuit, they could retialiate by giving this info to AMD). Some of the companies might want to send Intel a message by cooperating. Others (e.g. Microsoft) may find themselves more favouring AMD at the moment. Point being, it's rather difficult IMHO to gauge what the cooperation of these companies means. If it were Intel themselves, then we could assume if they we cooperating easily it might indicate they don't think there is any case. But since it's about third parties who are not at direct risk, from the lawsuit, it's rather difficult to say what they cooperation entails. With a reference from some legal source, preferbly one who isn't know to always favour Intel for whatever reason (although even one who does always favour Intel would be acceptable of course) Nil Einne 16:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

message: :Most of the manufactured microprocessors are shipped from Singapore to Taiwanese and Chinese OEM/ODM manufacturing companies that build computers for Lenovo and Dell.
Is this true? AFAIK most normal AMD cores are assembled as processors in Malaysia and I believe some also in China. Does this mean Chartered are actually assembling the processors rather then just making the cores (which seems unlikely) or AMD's vendors are assembling the processors themselves (which seems unlikely to me but who knows?). Also, whatever the case, where is the testing and binning done? Nil Einne 16:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a sentence in the AMD64/K8 section:
"Unlike Intel's dual-core designs, the X2 mates two cores into a single chip, rather than two chips into a single package. Intel's method may have theoretical yield advantages, but gives up some performance advantages since interprocessor communication still happens over external pins, rather than internally."
I suppose this is referring to Intel's Pentium D/Pentium Extreme, which are formed by joining two previously single-core chips into one package.  However the chips based on the Intel Core Architecture were designed from the ground-up to be dual-core, so I'm assuming this sentence no longer applies (with the exception of Kentsfield which is two dual-cores put together in the same package). --QTCaptain 02:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Intel was immediately forced into a panicked internal re-design of the P6 core, which fixed many of the pipeline stalls that compromised its performance. The result was called the "Coppermine" revision. However, the rushed nature of the work put enormous pressure on Intel's manufacturing facilities and, even after it was announced, availability of the improved Coppermine chips was poor.
Can you cite a source?  As for the second sentence, how was availability before Coppermine was announced? The wording is rendundant.
 The X2 marks a significant step towards even greater productivity and scalability, especially for multi-threaded software applications.
This sounds like marketing material.  "Productivity?"  Let's keep the article relavant to AMD: the company and products.
AMD has also formed a strategic partnership with IBM, under which AMD gained silicon on insulator (SOI) manufacturing technology, and detailed advice on 90-nm implementation. IBM holds many patents on SOI technology, and Intel is reluctant to implement the process for this reason, despite the significant reductions in power consumption offered.
This statement couldn't be more wrong.  Funny how there is no source given.  Companies make dubious claims about their process technology.  It certainly is not a fact that SOI offers better power consumption in practice than CMOS.  If anything, the jury is still out.
Answer: you may not like it, but it is a fact that SOI offers better power consumption. The reason for that is that  SOI reduces transistor leakage, and if less energy is leaked, less power is consumed... simple as that. The reduced leakage also enables the transitors to be packed more closely together inside the chip. In practice, manufacturers use  the "liberated" space to pack EVEN MORE TRANSISTORS into the chip. The result is that the overall power consumption of an SOI processor may look similar to that of a regular processor, but the performance is quite different (more transistors = better performance). As for references, you can access the specifications of any processor that use SOI technology (I, for instance, found all the information on SOI at the APPLE website in their documentation of the PowerPC processor)
Unlike some other companies, AMD provided the technical details required for the open source BIOS project LinuxBIOS
What other companies?  What technical details?
Again, innovation is key to AMD's "Virtual Gorilla" corporate strategy.
Why not include the phone number for the AMD US sales office after this sentence?  This may or may not be true, but it reeks of bias and a poor encylopedia article.

thread_title:  This article is in chaos! 

message: It's pretty clear that the AMD article currently reflects the execution level of its ATi subsidiary (that is to say, it sucks).  In pursuit of making the article...acceptable, I propose we follow this outline.  I have not begun work on any section of the outline, (though will commence so after the holiday) - feel free to modify the outline, or take a section to write.  For now, I suggest we try to keep it to one person per section, as the "I have interesting fact X about AMD, so I'll stick it in random section Y" strategy is pretty much what got us here in the first place.  
For now, I recommend we keep the ATI information in a seperate article - ATI operates currently as a wholly owned subsidiary, not a division of AMD.  I suggest we keep the ATI article and make it abundantly clear they are "green team" - and make appropriate lateral references in the AMD article.

message: Information needs updated about the "K8L". According to reports, K8L was for the Turion 64, NOT next gen technology platform, which is called Torrenza (according to Tom Yager at InfoWorld on 7 February 2007).
With that said, this all needs to be addressed in the article, because mid-2007 is not far off. Barcelona is supposed to be the first chip released under the Torrenza initiative, and it's to be 40% than Cloverton, and will be released mid-2007 . Further, it's supposed to have 128 bit wide SSE, be 80% faster in floating point over Opteron, offer new VM and power management techniques. Dedicated L2 cache per core, and a L3 cache . So, again, this is the biggest revamp since 2003. The first L3, and 65nm process for AMD .

text: I do not think so. By not mentioning anything about the "Bacelona" chip does not mean that the article is out of date, this article gives only brief descriptions about the products and technologies from AMD, not detailed specifications. Besides, a section "Ext. 64" was presented in this article, with a very short "description" of the microarchitecture, I think the improvements and changes made to the microarchitecture should be mentioned in that section but not the "Bacelona" chip itself, I do not think that "Bacelona" chip is more notable than the microarchitecture, likewise, nothing related to a single chip was written in each of the sections. Such thing as "The first chip under the microarchitecture is a server chip clocked at 2.x GHz, 65 nm process,  quad-core chip codenamed Bacelona, featuring 128-bit SSE units and 128-bit FP units, 2MiB of L3 cache, improved power management (PowerNow!) as well as hardware-assisted virtualization improvements, and paving way for future initaitives as Torrenza and Fusion" are meaningless to the section, I think. --202.71.240.18 10:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay, I've had a chance to go over this better now. I can see a lot of the content on the main page was migrated to sub pages, as it should have been. But the result has been to break the narrative structure that used to exist on the main AMD page. Having been called too easy to read, the main AMD page is now a jumble of links, interspaced with intermittent narrative, and I'm not sure after all the work, the end result is hugely better. The biggest sin for me is to become a 'parts database.' I'm sorry reference to the 'virtual gorilla' strategy has been removed. I think it was both interesting and informative, to explain to reader how a small company like AMD, was able to compete with a much larger company, Intel. Another observation, is that anyone who knows AMD, knows it was the passion and enthusiasm of Jerry Sanders that repeatedly pulled the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. Sanders went out, recruited people, gave them a vision, and innovated. The emotional side of AMD's history appears to have been de-emphasized, even though that was what drove everything else.

replies: text: Independent sources like TGDaily and The Register perhaps? At least most -- not ALL, I believe, but I cannot find one, if you do, drop a link here :) -- of reports copied perspectives from AMD documents (which IS AMD's perspective), then what's the difference to copied AMD perspectives from official AMD documents while the later method gives more creditability and ease to follow? Plus, nothing will be verified if Intel still do PR spins/stunts saying "No, we didn't do that, we always encourage competition(s)." without further elaborations and evidences, at least not until somebody shows that not a single email in the Intel corporate email system was offering "rebates" and "goodies" to OEMs to use plain Intel products (CPU, motherboard, GMA graphics, and wireless etc.) and rejecting AMD products (processors and possible chipsets, before 2002,) but as ALL Intel emails during that period was all "missing," this will remain a non-verified mystery. I agree about the change of tone is needed, but the POV? Nope, we didn't heard from Intel lately about the ATI subpoena in December 2006 after the acquisition besides a "disappointment" to EU's ruling, that is we still do not know Intel's standpoint besides a simple "No." and "AMD is also doing the same thing."

message: Hello - I am contacting you on behalf of AMD. My name is Michael Silverman (michael.silverman@amd.com) and I am a member of AMD's public relations department. The AMD Wikipedia page is out of date and I would like to work with the Wikipedia editorial team to bring the page in-line with current events/facts.
I would like to have the following edits made to the intro paragraphs please:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is an American multinational semiconductor company headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif. with more than 50 locations including campuses in Austin, Texas, United States, and Markham, Ontario, Canada, that develops computer processors and related technologies for commercial and consumer markets. AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphics processors for servers, workstations and personal computers and devices, semi-custom processors and embedded systems applications. While initially it manufactured its own processors, the company became fabless after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009. 
AMD is the second-largest global supplier of microprocessors based on the x86 architecture and also one of the largest suppliers of graphics processing units. 
AMD is the company that invented the Accelerated Processing Unit, or APU, a chip that includes a CPU and a GPU in a single piece of silicon, in 2011. AMD is the only significant rival to Intel in the central processor (CPU) market for (x86 based) personal computers. Since acquiring ATI in 2006, AMD and its competitor Nvidia have dominated the discrete graphics processor unit (GPU) market.[7]
I would like to add the following paragraphs to the end of the "Corporate history" section:
In response to the declining PC markets, the company differentiated its product line and increased focused on high-growth markets including dense cloud servers, embedded, professional graphics, ultra-low-power client devices, and the semi-custom business. In 2013, AMD processors were included in next-generation consoles including Sony’s Playstation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One and Nintendo’s Wii U. In June of 2013, Apple announced its latest Mac Pro will feature dual AMD FirePro™ graphics cards.
In Q3 2013, AMD returned to profitability with a third-quarter net profit of $48 million and a revenue of $1.46 billion.
"Processor market history" section is also quite out of date. Suggest that the section be re-written as follows:
Main articles: AMD Accelerated Processing Unit, AMD mobile platform, Bulldozer (processor), and Bobcat (processor)
After the merge between AMD and ATI, an initiative codenamed Fusion was announced that will merge a CPU and GPU on some of their mainstream chips, including a minimum 16 lane PCI Express link to accommodate external PCI Express peripherals, thereby eliminating the requirement of a northbridge chip completely from the motherboard. The initiative will see some of the processing originally done on the CPU (e.g. floating-point unit operations) moved to the GPU, which is better optimized for calculations such as floating-point unit calculations. This is referred to by AMD as an accelerated processing unit (APU).[26]
Microarchitectures: 
Bulldozer is the codename for an x86 microprocessor microarchitecture developed by AMD for the desktop and server markets. It was released in 2011 as the successor to the K10 microarchitecture. 
Bulldozer is designed from scratch, not a development of earlier processors.[29] The core is specifically aimed at 10-125 watt TDP computing products. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt efficiency improvements in high-performance computing (HPC) applications with Bulldozer cores. While hopes were very high that Bulldozer would bring AMD to be performance competitive with arch rival Intel once more, most benchmarks were disappointing. In some cases the new Bulldozer products were slower than the K10 model they were built to replace.[30] [31] [32]
Bobcat was put into production in 2011 and the basis for AMD APUs under the “Fusion” brand. Bobcat is an x86 CPU core design targeted at low-power products such as ultra-portable notebooks, consumer electronics and the embedded market. Jaguar is the successor to the Bobcat microarchitecture. 
Jaguar is current generation low-power SoC microarchitecture by AMD. It is the basis for four product families: Temash aimed at tablets, Kabini aimed at notebooks and mini PCs, Kyoto aimed at micro-servers, and the G-Series aimed at embedded applications. The Jaguar microarchitecture also forms the basis for AMD’s semi-custom chips built for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In October 2012, AMD announced it will design 64-bit ARM® technology-based processors in addition to its x86 processors for multiple markets, starting with cloud and data center servers.
Mobile APUs:
Hondo is a previous generation AMD APU used in Tablets [33]. Hondo originally was announced by AMD in October of 2012. Hondo, or the Z-60 at the time, was AMD’s lowest powered APU and was developed for performance tablets and small form factor PCs.Temash, announced in 2013 is AMD’s elite low-power mobility processor for Windows 8 tablets and hybrids. AMD expects “Temash” to be the highest-performance SoC for tablets in the market, with 100 percent more graphics processing performance2 than its predecessor (codenamed “Hondo.”)
Beema & Mullins, announced at AMD’s APU13 developer conference, is AMD’s 2014 mobile APU. Beema and Mullins are projected to deliver more than 2x the performance-per-watt than the previous generation (codenamed Temash).
FX-Series: AMD FX is a series of high-end AMD CPUs for desktop PCs. The first nativ 8-core desktop processor built with dynamic, tuneable performance to handle multiple intensive apps.
Vishera is an AMD FX-series CPU launched in October of 2012. Vishera was an update to the Guinness World Record-setting AMD FX CPU. Vishera was based on the latest “Piledriver” multi-core architecture which offered increased performance at a lower price than the previous generation.
Mainstream/Performance APUs:
Llano was AMD's first APU built for mainstream PCs and notebooks released in June 2011.  Llano is AMD’s first implementation of the APU in mainstream PCs, bringing discrete-class graphics and powerful serial and parallel computing capabilities onto a single-die processor.
Trinity is AMD’s 2nd-gneration APU announced in 2012 for mainstream and ultrathin notebooks, All-in-One and traditional desktops, home theater PCs and embedded designs. 
Richland is an AMD Elite A-Series APU announced in 2013, delivering increased performance over the previous generation (codenamed Trinity), and  innovative user experiences like facial log-in and gesture recognition.
Kabini, announced in 2013 targets ultrathin notebooks with exceptional battery life and offers impressive levels of performance in both dual- and quad-core options. “Kabini” delivers an increase of more than 50 percent in performance over the previous generation of AMD essential computing APUs (codenamed “Brazos 2.0.”)
Kaveri, announced in 2014 is AMD’s most powerful APU ever. “Kaveri” is the world’s first APU to include Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) features, the immersive sound of AMD TrueAudio Technology and the performance gaming experiences of Mantle API. “Kaveri”-based notebooks will be available in the first half of 2014.
Graphics products[edit]
See also: Comparison of AMD graphics processing units, Graphics hardware and FOSS, and Comparison of ATI chipsets
AMD's portfolio of dedicated graphics processors includes product families and associated technologies aimed at the consumer, professional and high-performance computing markets.
•	Radeon is AMD's line of consumer graphics processing units.  They introduced innovations such as modularized RAM chips, DVD (MPEG2) acceleration, notebook GPU card sockets, and power management technology, and have recently launched and implemented Mantle (API) and TrueAudio functionality. In September 2013, AMD announced is newest line of GPUs, the R9 and R7 Series. 
•	FirePro is AMD's line of professional graphics processors for workstations. Based on the Radeon series, it succeeds the FireGL series of workstation CAD/CAM video cards, and the FireMV series for workstations with 2D acceleration. The new Mac Pro is powered by dual AMD FirePro professional GPUs.
•	Eyefinity – Allows up to 6 monitors to be connected to one card to allow surround-screen panoramic view.
•	TrueAudio – Allows users to experience directional audio powered through supported GPUs. 
•	Mantle (API) – A low-level API developed by AMD as an alternative to Direct3D and OpenGL.  
AMD Catalyst is a collection of proprietary device drivers software available for most platforms, includingMicrosoft Windows, OS X, and Linux. Linux users can also opt to use open-source drivers, whose development is assisted by AMD. Hardware component companies which only provide proprietary drivers have always been urged by the free-software community to make their drivers free software, or at least provide the necessary documentation for the community to write their own drivers.
Since 2007, the AMD has partly cooperated with the development of free graphics drivers, but have not made their Catalyst drivers free. The programming specifications for a number of chipsets and features were published in several rounds. This greatly changed their support of the development of free graphics drivers, as until that moment only unsupported free drivers existed. Besides releasing the specifications, AMD also funded the development of new "open source" drivers, and has even hired some employees to actively work on free software drivers.[36][dead link]
The AMD Chipsets section is also outdated and needs a rewrite. I can provide that information in follow-up. I recommend that the "AMD Live!" section be removed. It is extremely dated and has not been a part of AMD's business for several years. 
I suggest the following additions to the "Commercial platform" section:
•	AMD Eyfinity Technology supports multiple independent display outputs simultaneously, Eyefinity delivers innovative graphics display capabilities enabling massive desktop workspaces and ultra-immersive visual environments for productivity.
•	AMD PowerPlay Technology dynamically manages power efficiency and takes control of your performance, delivering high performance features when needed and conserving power when the demand on the graphics processor is low. This technology reduces the power consumption of the AMD Radeon graphics family of products for the optimal balance between performance and power for break-through energy efficiency.
•	AMD App Acceleration speeds up applications so users can increase productivity and experience better quality within used applications. 
I suggest the following additions to the "Desktop platforms" section:
In June 2013, AMD introduced the Elite A-Series Desktop APU codenamed Richland. Elite A-Series APU for desktops powers a diverse range of OEM systems and feature new generations of software and applications that harness the compute power of the 2013 AMD APU product lineup.  
I suggest the following additions to the "Embedded systems" section:
In April 2013, AMD introduced the Embedded G-Series System-on-Chip (SOC) platform; a single-chip solution based on the AMD next-generation “Jaguar” CPU architecture and AMD Radeon™ 8000 Series graphics.
In August 2013, AMD announced the Embedded R-Series high-performance computing platform, along with the introduction of a discrete GPU promotional program to provide embedded designers more choices for meeting demanding performance requirements.
In September 2013, AMD announced its plans to bring to market two new high-performance AMD Embedded R-Series processor families: the “Hierofalcon” CPU SoC family based on the ARM Cortex™-A57 architecture and the “Bald Eagle” APU and CPU offering based on the x86 microprocessor architecture codenamed “Steamroller.” The upcoming “Steppe Eagle” APU SoC is designed to provide improved performance while extending the low-power characteristics of the current AMD Embedded G-Series SoC family. In addition, “Adelaar” will bring to market the first discrete GPU based on AMD Graphics Core Next architecture for embedded systems.
I suggest the following additions to the "Other initiatives" section:
•	Heterogeneous System Architecture Foundation, founded in 2012 by AMD together with other founders to make it easy to program for parallel computing. Other founders include ARM, Imagination, MediaTek, Qualcomm, Samsung and Texas Instruments. 
I suggest the following edit to the opening para of the "Production and fabrication" section since AMD actively uses not one but two foundry partners - GlobalFoundries and TSMC:
Today, GlobalFoundries and the Tawain Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are responsible for producing AMD's processors.
I suggest the following add to the "Events and publications" section:
AMD also holds an an annual developer summit, with the most current event called APU13, attended by developers,customers, partners and thought leaders from across the globe.

I don't think it should be renamed though, it's the most common name for the GPU brand, so that article should reflect that, just as Intel isn't using the full name of Intel Corporation.

message: An important thing that should be mentioned (e.g. in the litigation section), is that when the Athlon came out, Intel told all motherboard manufacturers that bought Intel chipsets that if they would build even a single Athlon motherboard, Intel would stop selling them Intel chipsets. Which, given the dominance of Intel at the time, would quickly bankrupt them. … I bought an Athlon 800 back then, and remember the impossibility of buying a motherboard, and the monthly news regarding the topic in computer magazines. Only four little-known manufacturers actually sold Athlon motherboard in Germany. Three of them went bankrupt as a result. Including the one I had bought from. … I feel like this is an extremely important thing, that should not be missing from this article. I just am struggling with my health currently, and have little energy to research this to a level that will not be instantly wiped out by the deletion squad (which will definitely include Intel employees, so beware). … @Anyone who has sources (I remember PC Professionell and c’t in Germany definitely having articles about this), please add a section to the article. … — 2A0A:A540:B567:0:8C2D:F09D:8578:BEBB (talk) 23:25, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any history of the Minnesota company American Micro Devices founded 1964 and wound up in 1991? Many of the Google hits I get confuse American with Advanced, but there's one site with an old stock certificate that shows this other company existed. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

message: As AMD's Austin, Texas headquarters continues to take staff, money, focus/importantance, etc... (all C-level executives & major R&D efforts have been in Austin for years now, for ex) away from AMD's original Silicon Valley, California headquarters in Santa Clara, I'm starting to wonder if Austin's the headquarters location that should be listed first (for example, so that it's the city that's listed on Google as AMD's headquarters location when searched, rather than the ever shrinking in size & importance, Santa Clara site).
