Thanks for your feedback, Linus. I will incorporate an acronym list in the documentation. TCM stands for TILER container manager, which pretty much represents the interface to the logic which determines the location for a given 2-D area request. SiTA (Simple TILER algorithm) is the implementation behind that interface. I will work on revising the acronym to avoid any conflicts. -David -----Original Message----- From: Linus Walleij [mailto:linus.ml.walleij@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2010 6:48 PM To: Sin, David Cc: linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RFC 0/8] TI TILER-DMM driver 2010/7/24 David Sin <davidsin@xxxxxx>: > TILER is a hardware block made by Texas Instruments.

I've been writing some code for the ARM TCM (Tightly Coupled Memory) and often vendors pick up this terminology and call all on-chip memory "TCM", though it has a specific technical meaning in ARM context. What does TCM mean in your case? And what is SiTA?
