The unit of duration is different depending on the tester. For the random
tester, the duration unit is a successful completion of a four stores, one
load sequence, otherwise known as a action-check pair. The four stores
write four sequential values to a subblock, i.e. false sharing. Then a
load is performed to ensure all four stores succeeded. The loads and
stores are issued by a random set of processors.
