A user-space utility for testing the memory subsystem for faults. It is
|
|
portable and should compile and work on any 32- or 64-bit Unix-like system.
|
|
(Yes, even weird, proprietary Unices, and even Mac OS X.) For hardware
|
|
developers, memtester can be told to test memory starting at a particular
|
|
physical address as of memtester version 4.1.0.
|
|
|
|
The original source was by Simon Kirby <sim@stormix.com>. The program has
|
|
been rewritten by Charles Cazabon and many additional tests were added to
|
|
help catch borderline memory. He also rewrote the original tests (which
|
|
catch mainly memory bits which are stuck permanently high or low) so that
|
|
they run approximately an order of magnitude faster.
