    Sure, we can do that. If you don't have a speaker lined up for a
    particular month, you can pencil me in. <br>
    <br>
    I have been doing a fair bit of work-related travel in the past few
    months, I'm hoping I can avoid traveling the week of the Oct BLU

              <br>
              I can shoot for the Oct 16 meeting. I have a couple of
              ideas for the topics:<br>
              1. Q&A about how modern processors and PC platform in
              general work: I can send out an email ahead of time to the
              discuss list asking for questions and I can prepare some
              slides based on the response. I can also answer questions
              live during the meeting<br>
              2. Things about memory every programmer should know -
              details about DRAM architecture, cache coherence and
              memory consistency models<br>
              <br>
              I can also talk very briefly about the latest generation
              of Ryzen products.<br>
              <br>
              Let me know if you have a preference for the topic.<br>
