Memory Exerciser
The memory exercisers arememxlabeled,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
