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