Memfill

Everything running on your computer uses some amount of CPU and RAM. Testing your projects must be done in different scenarios, for instance when available memory is low. In this regard, Memfill comes with the means to help you fill up memory in order to perform such tests, with stability not put at risk.

The application stores all of its features in a pretty compact window, requiring little effort to accommodate, since fields mostly speak for themselves. Better yet, there’s no setup involved, so you can run the application as soon as download is done. This means it can be used on other PCs directly from a thumb drive, without affecting stability.

The package contains executables for both 32 and 64-bit architectures, since the first type of systems are only able to read up to 4 GB of memory. Needless to say that it’s recommended to run the one suitable for your system for a proper experience.

Configuring the process is easy, with a dedicated value field letting you write down the number of MB you want to forcefully occupy. Be sure not to enter a value bigger than available space to avoid any potential issues. Freeing it up again is simply done by pressing a dedicated button.

Moreover, the application can use a feature to efficiently fill up space, but still allow fluent data usage to and from cache. Enabling the MovNTPS for 64-bit, or MovNTQ for 32-bit architectures forces filled bits of data to be at low priority, so info is easily replaced by more important packages required by other running processes.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Memfill is a straightforward application which helps you perform different test scenarios when available RAM reaches critical values. It supports both architectures, with helpful Non-Temporal SSE instructions to efficiently manage data flow, and no installation is required to run it.
