The purpose of this test is to find out what is the most optimal timing setting and how each timing setting has effect on the performance on A64/939 platform with TCCD RAM modules.

Testing Procedure:
As you can see, there are 3 trials for each set of test. The way I performed the tests was that I ran 1 test 3 times straight then continued on to the next set and ran 3 times and so forth. There should be a scientific term for this type of testing... Progressive? Anyway... I don't know...

When one variable is being tested other settings are in default values as shown in the Background Processes screen shot.
