| This is a set of tools to compare (extended) K8 memory settings. |
| |
| Before you can use them, you need to massage the relevant BKDG sections into |
| useable data. Here's how. |
| |
| First, you need to acquire a copy of the K8 BKDG. Go here: |
| |
| Rev F: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/32559.pdf |
| |
| Then make sure pdftotext is installed (it's in the poppler-utils package on Debian/Ubuntu). |
| |
| Now run the bkdg through pdftotext: |
| |
| pdftotext -layout 32559.pdf 32559.txt |
| |
| Now extract sections 4.5.15 - 4.5.19 from the file, and save it separately, say as bkdg-raw.data. |
| |
| Finally run the txt file through the parse-bkdg.pl script like so: |
| |
| parse-bkdg.pl < bkdg-raw.data > bkdg.data |
| |
| Now we have the bkdg.data file that is used by the other scripts. |
| |
| If you want to test the scripts without doing all this work, you can use some |
| sample input files from the 'example_input/' directory. |
