commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=3c80d680f2e4d3e568bfeef2c46ceccc952db42d
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The Calibrator is a small C program that is supposed to analyze
a computers (cache-) memory system and extract the following
parameters:

    number of cache levels
    for each cache level:
        its size
        its linesize
        its access/miss latency
    main memory access latency
    number of TLB levels
    for each TLB level:
        its capacity (i.e. number of entries)
        the pagesize used
        the TLB miss latency

http://homepages.cwi.nl/~manegold/Calibrator/

It is also recommended as a load generator for realtime testing in:

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix conflicting round() function
+
+calibrator.c defines a local round() function that conflicts
+with the one from the standard library.
+
+This is fixed by renaming the local function.
