/* 
 * tlbfaulter.c
 *
 * 	This program creates an array larger than the TLB footprint,
 *      but hopefully smaller than memory.
 *      It first touches each page of the array once, which should cause
 *      each page to be loaded into memory.
 *      Then it touches the pages sequentially in a tight loop - the
 *      goal is to force the TLB to be filled quickly, so that TLB
 *      replacements will be necessary.
 *
 *      If this generates "out of memory" errors, you will need
 *      to increase the memory size of the machine (in sys161.conf)
 *      to run this test.
