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 AIX. 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 will be no compare errors. If a non-recoverable
memory error occurs, the system will crash. Recoverable memory errors are logged by
the AIX operating system.
