Cache/Memory: 32-bit Transfers

We checked the cache and memory performance of processors with our tecMem program in the tecCHANNEL Benchmark Suite Pro for Windows Server 2003. tecMem measures the memory bandwidth used effectively between the CPU’s load/store unit and the various hierarchical memory levels – L1 and L2 cache, and RAM. The results allow differentiated analysis of load, store, and move operations.
