On an SGI Indy mips 4000PC 50/100MHz with 8K/8K L1 cache (no L2) I get
36 or 43 MB/sec (not sure to interpret this) if I've done this right.
Bill, I did (slightly edited)
./membench 128 2000
Time Stride reads per % speed MB per
per loop (ints) second (in K) improvement sec
8.60 4 1860.5 21.0 29.1
6.88 5 1860.5 0.0 36.3
5.73 6 1861.5 -0.1 43.6
Hmm, I start to believe that the correct number is 29.1 MB/sec. Whatever
size I use (as long as it's more than 8 (KB)) I get ~29 MB/sec with a
stride of 4 (i.e. 32 bytes). After that the speed improvement drops to
around zero.
