Memtester是用户态工具，用于测试内存子系统的故障。非常方便，支持32位 或64位Unix-like系统。对于硬件开发开发者来说，memtester可以定位到物理地址。
1. 安装
下载地址http://pyropus.ca/software/memtester/
获取memtester-4.2.2.tar.gz源码包。
#tar –zxvf memtester-4.2.2.tar.gz #make #make install |
2.测试
./memtester [-p physaddrbase] <mem>[B|K|M|G] [loops]
其中：
Physaddrbase： 需要测试的物理地址；
<mem>[B|K|M|G]：测试内存的大小；
[loops]：测试次数
案例：
