Something in the article that I had to look up that might bother others. He uses the term 'DCT' in this sentence, but it's never defined in the article. AFAIK it stands for 'DRAM Memory Controller', but that could be an LLM hallucination. Running a web search defines it as Discrete Cosine Transform. :P
> "AMD’s BIOS and Kernel Developer’s Guide (BKDG) indicates there’s a 4-bit read pointer for a sideband signal FIFO between the GMC and DCT, so the “Garlic” link may have a queue with up to 16 entries."
Should maybe swap DCT in for MCT (memory controller)?
- dcminter 1y agoDCT is explicitly "DRAM Controller" in the referenced "BIOS and Kernel Developer’s Guide" - see definitions table on p23 of https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/archived-tech-docs/programmer-references/42301_15h_Mod_00h-0Fh_BKDG.pdf https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/archived-te...
