LinuxCPUBurn

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.
