So, my program creates array of structures of memory blocks and works with
it.
Source code:

        scanf("%u", &seed);
    }

    bzero(blocks, sizeof(blocks[0]) * (M / 100));

    for (counter = 0; counter < REPEATS; counter++) {

I tried to plot this data with gnuplot, but it'll require parting data at
two or more parts because of big address range.
