3.1.6 memexer_mp
The command tests memory cache coherency in a multiprocessor
memexer_mp
system by running a specified number of memory exerciser sets. A set is a
memory test that runs on each processor checking alternate longwords. The
exercisers are run in the background and nothing is displayed unless an error
occurs.
To terminate the memory tests, use the
diagnostic or the kill_diags
display to determine the process ID when killing an individual
show_status
diagnostic test.
Synopsis:
memexer_mp [number]
Arguments:
[number] Number of memory exerciser sets to start. The default is 1.
The number of exercisers, as well as the length of time for testing,
depends on the context of the testing. Generally, running 2 or 3
exercisers for 5 minutes is sufficient.
