Before this test suite was created there was no proper software for measuring system's vital parameters such as CPU/Chipset/RAM providing steady and reliable (reproducible) test results and allowing for changing test parameters in a wide range. Among vital low-level system characteristics are latency and real RAM bandwidth, average/minimal latency of different cache levels and its associative level, a real L1-L2 cache bandwidth and TLB levels specs. Besides, these aspects are not paid sufficient attention to in a product's technical documentation (CPU or chipset). Such a test suite which combines a good deal of subsets aimed at measuring objective system characteristics is much needed for estimating crucial objective platform's parameters. The test suite is developed within RightMark, named RightMark Memory Analyzer and available as an open source code.
