Methodological guide

Everest Ultimate Edition - a program for viewing information about

the hardware and software configuration of the computer. The program analyzes the computer configuration and provides detailed information about the devices installed in the system - processors, motherboards, video cards, audio cards, memory modules and etc, as well as information about their characteristics, supported sets of commands and operating modes, their manufacturers, installed software , operating system configuration and installed drivers.
The program has a wide range of tests:
1) reading from memory - tests the speed of data transfer from RAM to the processor;
2) recording in memory;
3) copy-in-memory - tests the speed of transferring data from one memory location to another via the processor's cache;
4) memory latency - tests the average time the processor reads data from RAM;
