...By timing tight loops and varying parameters, the program reveals step-changes in latency that map to cache lines, page sizes, and TLB coverage. It is intentionally minimal so you can modify page sizes, strides, or pointer-chasing strategies to run experiments on different machines and kernels. The code is useful for teaching, hardware bring-up, or validating assumptions about huge pages and NUMA placement. Rather than providing a plotting framework, it prints timings that you can collect and graph with external tools to visualize cache/TLB boundaries.
