 ## Memory-Fence Instructions
 HIP supports __threadfence() and  __threadfence_block().
 
-Applications that use threadfence_system can disable the L1 and L2 caches on the GPU by:
-"export HSA_DISABLE_CACHE=1".  See the hip_porting_guide.md#threadfence_system for more information.
+Support for threadfence_system() is under development.
 
 ## Synchronization Functions
 The __syncthreads() built-in function is supported in HIP. The __syncthreads_count(int), __syncthreads_and(int) and __syncthreads_or(int) functions are under development.
