+@deftp Tunable glibc.cpu.x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold
+The @code{glibc.cpu.x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold} tunable allows
+the user to set threshold in bytes for non temporal store in
+memset. Non temporal stores give a hint to the hardware to move data
+directly to memory without displacing other data from the cache. This
+tunable is used by some platforms to determine when to use non

 @deftp Tunable glibc.cpu.x86_rep_movsb_threshold
 The @code{glibc.cpu.x86_rep_movsb_threshold} tunable allows the user to
 set threshold in bytes to start using "rep movsb".  The value must be
