bw_mem_rd - time memory read rate (with overhead)

       Funding for the development of this tool was provided by Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation.

bw_mem_rd  allocates  the specified amount of memory, zeros it, and then times the reading of that memory
       as a series of integer loads and adds.  Each four byte integer is loaded and added to accumulator.

       The size specification may end with ``k'' or ``m'' to mean kilobytes (* 1024)  or  megabytes  (*  1024  *
       1024).

       This benchmark should move approximately the reported amount of memory.
