You can run a few of this.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

main()
{
	char *p[160];
	int i, j;
	int count;
	for (j=0; j<160; j++)
	{
		p[j] = (char *) malloc(10000000);
	}
	for (count=0;count<2000;count++)
	{
		for (j=0; j<160; j++)
		{
			for (i=0; i<10000000; i+= 4096)
				p[j][i] = 0;
		}
		pause();
	}
}
