Memory Test Overview

The Memory test, tests the DRAM cells, the memory subsystem, the virtual memory, and the swap partitions of the disks in system. This test achieves high bandwidth and performs a mix of read and write operations, industry standard March algorithms on the memory. March algorithms are a sequence of read and write operations to memory which try to stimulate different types of memory fault models. The test also uses background patterns to bring out pattern-sensitive faults in the DRAMs. In component stress mode, the test allocates 70% of memory. The test stimulates memory errors which are detected and reported by the FMA framework.
