  GuC
  
  GuC is an embedded micro-controller in the graphics sub-system that is
  designed to perform graphics workload scheduling on the various graphics
  parallel engines. In this scheduling model, host software submits work
  through one of the 256 graphics doorbells and this invokes the micro-
  kernel running on the GuC core to perform the scheduling operation on
  the appropriate graphics engine. Scheduling operations include
  determining which workload to run next, submitting a workload to a
  command streamer, pre-empting existing workloads running on an engine,
  monitoring progress and notifying host SW when work is done.

  DCM
  
  DCM is a display micro-controller that provides additional low-power
  idle states for improved platform power consumption.  The
  skl_dmc_ver4.bin firmware is hot-loaded to the display microcontroller
  at runtime, and the microcontroller manages the additional low-power
  idle states independently from the OS/Kernel.
