+### About Intel RDT
+Intel’s Resource Director Technology (RDT) framework consists of:  
+- Cache Monitoring Technology (CMT) 
+- Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM)
+- Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) 
+- Code and Data Prioritization (CDP) 
+
+As multithreaded and multicore platform architectures emerge, the last level cache and 
+memory bandwidth are key resources to manage for running workloads in single-threaded, 
+multithreaded, or complex virtual machine environments. Intel introduces CMT, MBM, CAT 
+and CDP to manage these workloads across shared resources.

+### Prerequsities - PQoS Tool
+To gather Intel RDT metrics, the `intel_rdt` plugin uses _pqos_ cli tool which is a 
+part of [Intel(R) RDT Software Package](https://github.com/intel/intel-cmt-cat).
 Before using this plugin please be sure _pqos_ is properly installed and configured regarding that the plugin
 run _pqos_ to work with `OS Interface` mode. This plugin supports _pqos_ version 4.0.0 and above.
-Be aware pqos tool needs root privileges to work properly.
+Note: pqos tool needs root privileges to work properly.
 
 Metrics will be constantly reported from the following `pqos` commands within the given interval:
