Processor Configuration Registers
2.8.36 C1DTC—Channel 1 DRAM Throttling Control Register
Programmable Event weights are input into the averaging filter. Each Event weight is an
normalized 8 bit value that the BIOS must program. The BIOS must account for burst
length and 1N/2N rule considerations. It is also possible for BIOS to take into account
loading variations of memory caused as a function of memory types and population of
ranks.

Description
31:24 RO 00h Reserved
23 RW-L-K 0b
DRAM Throttle Lock (DTLOCK)
This bit secures the DRAM throttling control registers DT*EW and DTC. Once
a 1 is written to this bit, all of these configuration register bits become read-
only.
22 RO 0b Reserved
21 RW-L 0b
DRAM Bandwidth Based Throttling Enable (DBBTE)
0 = Bandwidth Threshold (WAB) is not used for throttling.
1 = Bandwidth Threshold (WAB) is used for throttling. If both Bandwidth
based and thermal sensor based throttling modes are on and the
thermal sensor trips, weighted average WAT is used for throttling.
20 RW-L 0b
DRAM Thermal Sensor Trip Enable (DTSTE)
0 = GMCH throttling is not initiated when the processor thermal sensor trips.
1 = GMCH throttling is initiated when the processor thermal sensor trips and
the Filter output is equal to or exceeds thermal threshold WAT.
19 RO 0b Reserved
18:16 RW-L 000b
Time Constant (TC)
000 = 2^28 Clocks
001 = 2^29 Clocks
010 = 2^30 Clocks
011 = 2^31 Clocks
Others = Reserved.
15:8 RW-L 00h
Weighted Average Bandwidth Limit (WAB)
Average weighted bandwidth allowed per clock during for bandwidth based
throttling. The processor does not allow any transactions to proceed on the
system memory bus if the output of the filter equals or exceeds this value.
7:0 RW-L 00h
Weighted Average Thermal Limit (WAT)
Average weighted bandwidth allowed per clock during for thermal sensor
enabled throttling. The processor does not allow any transactions to proceed
on the system memory bus if the output of the filter equals or exceeds this
value.
