'''Mount Manunggal''' is the third-highest peak in the island of [[Cebu]] after Osmena Peak and Lugsangan Peak. It is located in [[Barangay]] Magsaysay in [[Balamban]], [[Cebu]] province, rising {{convert|982|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. It is the site of the crash of the presidential plane ''Mt. Pinatubo'' which [[1957 Cebu Douglas C-47 crash|killed President Ramon Magsaysay]] and twenty-four others on March 17, 1957.<ref name="Inquirer-VisitorsTrek">{{cite news |title=Visitors trek to Magsaysay crash site |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/163435/visitors-trek-to-magsaysay-crash-site |accessdate=March 21, 2019 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=March 18, 2012 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321082907/https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/163435/visitors-trek-to-magsaysay-crash-site?utm_expid=.XqNwTug2W6nwDVUSgFJXed.1 |archivedate=March 21, 2019 |language=en}}</ref> An annual trek is held here to commemorate his death.

== Geography ==

===History===
Mount Manunggal is within the [[Central Cebu Protected Landscape]] and is protected by ''Republic Act 9486'', otherwise known as the “Central Cebu Protected Landscape Act”; which also covers the Mananga-Kotkot-Lusaran river system, the [[Sudlon National Park]] and the watersheds of Buhisan, Mananga and Lusaran.<ref name="ChanRobles-RA9486">{{cite web |title=Republic Act No. 9486 |url=http://www.chanrobles.com/republicacts/republicactno9486.html |website=Chan Robles Virtual Law Library |accessdate=March 21, 2019 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071104171654/http://www.chanrobles.com/republicacts/republicactno9486.html |archivedate=November 4, 2007}}</ref>

===Minerals===
The trail to Mount Manunggal from the jump-off point at the river that separates [[Cebu City]] from [[Balamban, Cebu|Balamban]] is quite steep and could be achieved in about four (4) to seven (7) hours for first-timers, depending upon your physical conditioning, and about two (2) to three (3) hours to those who are now very familiar with its terrain. The trail to Mount Manunggal from Tagba-o is absent of forest canopies and wildlife and traverses through many upland farms planted with [[onion]]s, [[tomato]]es, [[ginger]], [[garlic]], [[eggplant]]s, [[cabbage]], [[carrot]]s, etc. It is wide enough to let two persons pass by each other at its narrowest part and there are no prominent barriers which impede movement save for the lack of shady areas to rest from the penetrating heat of the sun.

[[Water resources]] abound within the foot of the mountain like rivers, springs and waterfalls. A cool spring near the campsite gives visitors relief from thirst and its water volume never lessens even in extreme drought and [[El Niño]] conditions.

===Monument===
[[File:Pres. Ramon Magsaysay monument in Mt. Manunggal, Balamban, Cebu.jpg|225px|thumbnail|right|Pres. Ramon Magsaysay monument on Mt. Manunggal]]

At the campsite, the monument to President Magsaysay and the cylinder block of one of the ''Pinatubo'''s engines remind visitors of the historical value of Manunggal in Philippine history. A chapel, erected nearby during the height of a communist insurgency in the 1980s, guides the local inhabitants' spiritual yearning.<ref>http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2008/06/mt-manunggal-1003.html The Monument of [[Ramon Magsaysay]] in the Mount Manunggal</ref>

On April 24, 2012, the crash site was declared a National Historical Landmark by the [[National Historical Commission of the Philippines]].

Mt. Lantoy was declared as a [[Drainage basin|watershed]] [[Nature reserve|forest reserve]] by virtue of ''Presidential Proclamation No. 414'' on June 29, 1994.

==In Philippine mythology==
In [[Philippine mythology]], Mount Lantoy is said to be the domain of [[Maria Cacao]], a ''[[Anito|diwata]]'' who lives in a cave in the mountain. Outside her cave grow numerous [[Theobroma cacao|cacao]] trees, which are said to be her plantation. After harvest time come rains that wash down the mountain, enabling Maria Cacao<ref>{{cite web|title=Mt.

The original name of the Maria Cacao is unknown as it was not recorded before the Spanish subjugated her name in a bid to instill [[Roman Catholicism]] to the natives. But it is widely assumed her name is not indigenous as 'Cacao' is an imported term that came from Latin America when the Spanish arrived. Additionally, the term 'Maria' was added by the Spanish to turn her into 'Catholic', in a bid to widen Spanish rule in southern Cebu.{{CN|date=December 2023}}

The '''K6-III''' (code name: "Sharptooth") was an [[x86]] [[microprocessor]] line manufactured by [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD]] that launched on February 22, 1999. The launch consisted of both 400 and 450 MHz models and was based on the preceding K6-2 architecture. Its improved 256 KB on-chip L2 cache gave it significant improvements in system performance over its predecessor the K6-2. The K6-III was the last processor officially released for desktop [[Socket 7]] systems, however later mobile K6-III+ and K6-2+ processors could be run unofficially in certain socket 7 motherboards if an updated [[BIOS]] was made available for a given board. The [[Pentium III]] processor from Intel launched 6 days later.

At its release, the fastest available desktop processor from Intel was the Pentium II 450 MHz, and in integer application benchmarks a 400 MHz K6-III was able to beat it as the fastest processor available for business applications.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/1999/02/24/intel_pentium_iii_vs_amd/|title=Intel Pentium III vs. AMD K6-III – the benchmarks|website=[[The Register]] }}</ref> Just days later on February 26 Intel released the [[Pentium III#Katmai|Pentium III "Katmai"]] line at speeds of 500 MHz, slightly faster than the K6-III 450 MHz.

It is important to note however that Intel retained the lead in 3D gaming performance. Many popular [[Quake_(video_game)|first person]] games at the time were specifically tuned to extract maximum performance from Intel's [[Pipeline_(computing)|pipelined]] floating point unit in drawing their 3D environments. Since the K6-III inherits the same floating point unit as the K6-2 (low latency but not pipelined), unless the game was updated to use AMD's 3D-Now! [[SIMD]] instructions - performance could still remain significantly lower than when run on Intel.

==Architecture==
[[Image:Amdk6III arch.svg|300px|thumb|The AMD K6-III architecture.]]
In conception, the design is simple: it was a [[AMD K6-2|K6-2]] with on-die 256KiB L2 [[CPU cache|cache]]. In execution, however, the design was not simple, with 21.4 million transistors. The pipeline was short compared to that of the Pentium III and thus the design did not scale well past 500 MHz. Nevertheless, the K6-III 400 sold well, and the AMD K6-III 450 was clearly the fastest x86 chip on the market on introduction, comfortably outperforming AMD K6-2s and Intel Pentium IIs.<ref>[http://www.anandtech.com/show/211/5 AMD K6-3 Review - Windows 98 Performance Comparison] by Anand Lal Shimpi on anandtech.com</ref>

===3DNow!===

{{ details|3DNow! }}

3DNow! is an extension to the x86 [[instruction set]] developed by [[Advanced Micro Devices]] (AMD). It added [[SIMD|single instruction multiple data]] (SIMD) instructions to the base x86 instruction set, enabling it to perform [[vector processing]], which improves the performance of many graphic-intensive applications. The first microprocessor to implement 3DNow was the [[AMD K6-2]], which was introduced in 1998.

The K6-III+ had the "Enhanced 3DNow!"(Extended 3DNow! or 3DNow+) which added 5 new [[Digital signal processing|DSP]] instructions, but not the 19 new extended MMX instructions.

===TriLevel Cache===
The original K6-2 had a 64 KB primary cache and a much larger amount of motherboard-mounted cache (usually 512 KB or 1024 KB but varying depending on the choice of motherboard). The K6-III, with its 256 KB on-die secondary cache, re-purposed the variable-size external cache on the motherboard as the L3 cache. This scheme was termed "TriLevel Cache" by AMD. The L3 cache has a capacity of up to 2 MB.

==Market performance==
Intel's Pentium II replacement was not yet available but, as a stop-gap, Intel introduced a modestly revised version of the [[Pentium II]] and re-badged it as the "[[Pentium III]]". The base design was unchanged (the addition of [[Streaming SIMD Extensions|SSE]] instructions was at that time of no performance significance) but Intel's new production process allowed clockspeed improvements, and it became difficult to determine which company's part was the faster.

Both firms were keen to establish a clear lead, and both experienced manufacturing problems with their higher-frequency parts. AMD chose not to sell a 500 MHz or faster K6-III after the rare 500 MHz K6-III had been immediately recalled; it was found to be drawing enough current to damage some motherboards. AMD preferred to concentrate on their soon-to-be-released [[Athlon]] instead. Intel produced a 550 MHz Pentium III with some success but their 600 MHz version had reliability issues and was soon recalled.

With the release of the [[Athlon]], the K6-III became something of an orphan. No longer a competitive CPU in its intended market segment, it nevertheless required substantial manufacturing resources to produce: in spite of its 21.4 million transistors, its 118 mm² die was considerably smaller than the 184 mm² of the 22-million-transistor Athlon (cache RAM taking much less area per-transistor than logic), but the K6-III was still significantly more costly to produce than the 81 mm² 9.3 million-transistor K6-2 CPUs. (roughly 2/3 the size of the K6-III) For a time, the K6-III was a low priority part for AMD—something to be made only when all orders for high-priced Athlons and cheap-to-produce K6-2s had been filled—and it became difficult to obtain in significant quantities.

The original K6-III went out of production when Intel released their "[[Pentium III#Coppermine|Coppermine]]" Pentium III (a much improved part that used an on-die cache) and, at the same time, switched to a new production process. The changeover was fraught with difficulties and Intel CPUs were in global short supply for 12 months or more. This, coupled with the better performance of the Athlon, resulted in even many former Intel-only manufacturers ordering Athlon parts, and stretched AMD's manufacturing facilities to the limit. In consequence, AMD stopped making the K6-III in order to leave more room to manufacture Athlons (and K6-2s).

=== K6-III+ and K6-2+ ===
By the time the x86 CPU shortage was over, AMD had developed and released revised members of the K6 family. These K6-2+ and K6-III+ variants were specifically designed as low-power mobile (laptop) CPUs, and significantly marked the transition of the K6 architecture (and foretold of AMD's future K7 project) to the new 180 nm production process. Functionally, both parts were die shrunk K6-IIIs (the 2+ disabled 128 KiB of cache, the III+ had the full 256 KiB) and introduced AMD's new [[PowerNow!]] power saving technology. PowerNow! offered processor power savings for mobile applications by measuring computational load, and reduced processor operational voltage and frequency during idle periods in order to reduce overall system power consumption.

Although intended for notebook computers, both parts found an enthusiast following also in desktop systems as some motherboard companies (such as Gigabyte and FIC) provided [[BIOS#Reprogramming|BIOS]] updates for their desktop motherboards to allow usage of these processors. For other officially not supported mainboards, the enthusiast community created [[Unofficial patch|unofficial BIOS updates]] on their own.<ref>[http://wims.rainbow-software.org/index.php?count=250 M577 BIOS 03/06/1999 with K6-2+/III+ & HDD up to 128GB] by Ondrej Zary on rainbow-software.org</ref><ref>[http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ Award BIOS Modifications] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716224049/http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ |date=2020-07-16 }} by Petr Soucek on ryston.cz</ref><ref>[http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm K6plus] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211064357/http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm |date=2021-02-11 }} by Jan Steunebrink on inter.nl.net</ref> These boards became firm favorites within the [[overclocking]] community. Both the K6-III+ and K6-2+ 450 MHz CPUs were routinely overclocked to over 600 MHz ({{nowrap|112 × 5.5 = 616}}). Unfortunately, even with the 180 nm process shrink, the K6 architecture's short 6-stage pipeline while efficient, was difficult to scale with regards to clock speed. K6 III+ and 2+ were never offered higher than 570 MHz officially, and [[overclocking]] efforts using air cooling achieved a maximum around 800 MHz (133x6) at best - however this constraint was also exacerbated by a lack of Socket 7 motherboards supporting stable speeds over 112 MHz [[front-side bus|FSB]].

As AMD's marketing resources at the time were focused on the launch of the upcoming Athlon K7 processor line, the 180 nm K6 series were relatively unknown outside of the industry.

The '''K6-2''' is an [[x86]] [[microprocessor]] introduced by [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD]] on May 28, 1998,<ref>{{Cite web|title=AMD Introduces AMD-K6-2 Processor with New 3DNow! Technology |publisher=Advanced Micro Devices |date=1998-05-28 |url=https://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/Press_Release_894.aspx |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202135928/http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/Press_Release_894.aspx |archivedate=2014-02-02 |url-status=live }}</ref> and available in speeds ranging from 266 to 550 [[Megahertz|MHz]]. An enhancement of the original K6, the K6-2 introduced AMD's [[3DNow!]] SIMD instruction set and an upgraded system-bus interface called [[Super Socket 7]], which was backward compatible with older [[Socket 7]] [[motherboard]]s. It was manufactured using a 250 nanometer process, ran at 2.2 [[volt]]s, and had 9.3 million [[transistor]]s.

==History==
[[Image:Amdk62 arch.svg|300px|thumb|The AMD K6-2 architecture.]]
[[File:AMD@250nm@K6@Model8(chomper xt) - (cpuid58C)@AMD-K6-2 500AFX@2.2V CORE A 0023BPDW 1998 AMD DSCx8 polysilicon@5x.jpg|thumb|Die shot of an AMD K6-2 500AFX processor]]
The K6-2 was designed as a competitor to [[Intel|Intel's]] flagship processor, the significantly more expensive [[Pentium II]]. Performance of the two chips was similar: the previous K6 tended to be faster for general-purpose computing, while the Intel part was faster in x87 floating-point applications. To battle the Pentium II's dominance on floating point calculations the K6-2 was the first CPU to introduce a floating point [[SIMD]] instruction set (dubbed [[3DNow!]] by AMD), which significantly boosted performance. However programs needed to be specifically tailored for the new instructions and despite beating Intel's [[Streaming SIMD Extensions|SSE]] instruction set to market, 3DNow achieved only limited popularity.

Super Socket 7, which increased the processor bus from 66 MHz to 100 MHz, allowed the K6-2 to withstand the effects of ever-increasing CPU multipliers fairly gracefully and in later life it remained surprisingly competitive. Nearly all K6-2s were designed to use 100 MHz [[Super Socket 7]] mainboards, allowing the system-bus to keep pace with the K6-2's clock-frequency.

The K6-2 was a very financially successful chip and enabled AMD to earn the revenue it would need to introduce the forthcoming [[Athlon]]. The introductory K6-2 300 was by far the best-selling variant. It rapidly established an excellent reputation in the marketplace and offered a favorable price/performance ratio versus Intel's [[Celeron]] 300A. While the K6-2 had mediocre floating-point performance compared to the Celeron, it offered faster system RAM access (courtesy of the Super 7 mainboard), as well as 3DNow graphics extensions.

As the market moved on, AMD released a long series of faster K6-2 parts, the best-selling ones being the 350, 400, 450, and 500. By the time the 450 and the 500 were mainstream parts, the K6-2 family had already moved to the budget PC segment, where it still competed successfully against Intel's Celeron.

==K6-2+==
Despite the name, the little-known K6-2+ was based on the AMD K6-III+ design (model 13) with 128 KiB of integrated [[L2 cache]] and built on a 0.18 [[micrometre]] process (essentially a [[AMD K6|K6-III+]] with half the L2 cache). The K6-2+ was specifically designed as a low-power mobile CPU. Some motherboard companies such as Gigabyte and FIC provided BIOS updates for their desktop motherboards to allow for usage of these processors; for other officially not supported mainboards, the community created [[Unofficial patch|unofficial BIOS updates]] on their own.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ |title=Award BIOS Modifications |last1=Soucek |first1=Petr |date=2002-07-07 |access-date=2017-07-19 |archive-date=2020-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716224049/http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm |title=The Unofficial AMD K6-2+ / K6-III+ Page |last1=Steunebrink |first1=Jan |date=2008-07-02 |access-date=2017-07-19 |archive-date=2021-02-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211064357/http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Most K6-2+ motherboards did not support a clock multiplier setting greater than 5.5 since 550 MHz was the highest official speed of the K6-2+ (100*5.5 = 550) but a little known feature of both the K6-2 and K6-2+ was that it interpreted the motherboard clock multiplier setting 2 as 6. This allowed many users to run their K6-2+ 550 MHz and often even a K6-2+ 500 MHz at a speed of 600 MHz simply by setting the motherboard clock multiplier to 2.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/600-mhz-with-socket-7,review-205-4.html |title=600 MHz with Socket 7: The AMD K6-2+ |last1=Völkel |first1=Frank |website=[[Tom's Hardware]] |date=2000-07-13 |access-date=2017-07-19 |archive-date=2018-06-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617043321/https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/600-mhz-with-socket-7,review-205-4.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
