/* 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.  */
