  19 /* This microbenchmark measures the throughput of memcpy for various sizes from
  20    1 byte to 32MiB, doubling every iteration and then misaligning by 0-15
  21    bytes.  The copies are done from source to destination and then back and the
  22    source walks forward across the array and the destination walks backward by
  23    one byte each, thus measuring misaligned accesses as well.  The idea is to
  24    avoid caching effects by copying a different string and far enough from each
  25    other, walking in different directions so that we can measure prefetcher
  26    efficiency (software or hardware) more closely than with a loop copying the
  27    same data over and over, which eventually only gives us L1 cache
  28    performance.  */
