Integration of stress
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 6:04 am
Hi there!
First of all: great work!
I stumbled upon UBCD several years ago and still love using it!
The main point is, that I found a nice tool for stress-testing a complete system:
Stress
From http://weather.ou.edu/~apw/projects/stress/
stress is a simple tool that imposes a configurable amount of CPU, memory, I/O, and disk stress on POSIX-compliant operating systems. It is written in portable ANSI C and uses the GNU Autotools to compile on most UNIX-like operating systems. It is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.
The company I'm currently working for is using this tool for stress-testing hardware before shipping, as it this tool imposes load an the whole system and not just the CPU.
Is there a possibility that this tool will be included in one of the next UBCD releases?
Best wishes,
Holger
