1)
Yon can fetch usemem from here:
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability

2) In attachments, usemem-calc.sh is used to analyze raw data from
usemem output, then output an unstandable result. You can copy below
commands to run ten times or how many times you want on usemem.

for i in {1..10}; do
    cgexec -g memory:testing ~/vm-scalability/usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 31 2G > ~/vm-scalability/temp.txt
    ~/usemem-calc.sh ~/vm-scalability/temp.txt
    echo "The $i""th time to run usemem" 
done

3) Please keep all the output of usemem-calc.sh to a file, then use
result.sh to get an average value.

Any unclear part, please feel free to ask me privately or publicly in
thread.

Thanks
