This is a simple CPU burn program for the major UNIX systems: AIX, BSD, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris etc (full list in the source file #defines) and Windows. It will discover the number of available CPU cores and fork enough threads to create a load on all cores by default.

The number of threads and memory block size can be changed from the command line.

Features

  • Simulates load for some or all CPUs to test the cooling system efficiency
  • Uses memory buffers of a given size (the same for each CPU) to test memory throughput
  • Tested under Fedora 19 x64, FreeBSD 10 x64, Solaris 11 x64 and Windows XP, 7. Expected to work on 32 bit systems as well.
