The primary purpose of PLRAM is to place very high stress on the memory
of a system, with the ability to use targeted data patterns in an
attempt to expose design and implementation defects. It is recommended
to run one thread per physical CPU in the system, and to execute PLRAM
where most but not all of the physical memory is consumed. If too much
memory per thread is specified, the system may become very unresponsive
(due to excessive paging through the swap file) and not achieve the
desired results. If the system has hyperthreading enabled, then a
higher thread count with lower memory per thread may be used.
