Well, it was just test run, but once it is already here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbroz/PHCtest/master/output/round2_Lenovo_X230_i5_16G/mc_cost_2/memory_time_round.png

- I fixed point colors, so it should now match all 4 versions.

- Yescrypt has in 3 x round two more points (2GiB) - just typo in script.
(I'll run all algs up to 8GiB but it will take long time -> later)

- Lyra2 should be for 1 thread (-DnPARALLEL=1)

- Parameters are according to Steve's table
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.phc/2550
(also in https://github.com/mbroz/PHCtest/issues/1 )

- the low memory setting is "unstable" because of RUSAGE measurement:
  Real memory us is simple difference of getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, ...)
  before and after run (well, here maximum of three runs).

  So for small memory allocations it can be even zero (because that process
  already have some memory pre-allocated). My intention was to show that it
  really have expected peak there.
  (So it will not match your calculation exactly but it must be very close.)

Graph for t_min is here (but is somehow strange)
