I've been corresponding off-list with Mark Langsdorf. He's an AMD employee who works on Linux tools and implementation, hangs out on the LKML, and submits kernel patches from AMD.

Oh yes, I already meet him at Mandriva. I see its post on the x86_64 mailing. I must have remember mce ! I now remeber the mail about mcelog... That's a shame cause I did the rpm for it :(

   L2 Cache BG Scrub
                not DRAM related

   Data Cache BG Scrub
                not DRAM related

[Note from Bruce: can anyone on the list make recommendations about this last two, non-DRAM-related SCRUB settings??]

Sounds like we must not Scrub the memory too frequently because it might slow down the memory access, am I wrong ? This could explain mark remark to delay the DRAM scrubbing to its maximum value.
