Memory Exerciser
The memory exercisers are labeled memx, where x is a number for the exerciser.
Multiple exercisers can be active.
The memory exerciser requests as many memory buffers as possible from the AIX
operating system. The exerciser then fills the memory buffers with specified bit
patterns, then reads and compares the memory buffers to the specified bit patterns.
On systems with multiple processors a process is started for each processor. The
free memory space is split evenly between the available processors thus reducing
the time required to exercise all of the memory.
If the system is working properly, there are no compare errors. If a non-recoverable
memory error occurs, the system crashes. Recoverable memory errors are logged
by the AIX operating system.
