8 glibc-2.3.5 (patched)
9 gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4
10 linux-headers-2.6.11-r2
11 2x Opteron 246 (2GHz)
12 2x 512M, on processor #0 (dual channel)

14 % ./a.out 2000 5000 1048576
15 Memory to memory copy rate = 1367.611206 MBytes / sec. Block size = 1048576.
16 % ./a.out 4000 5000 1048576
17 Memory to memory copy rate = 2822.960693 MBytes / sec. Block size = 1048576.
