stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU,
|
||
|
|
memory, I/O, or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating
|
||
|
|
system. It is written in portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU
|
||
|
|
Autotools to compile on a great number of UNIX-like operating
|
||
|
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stress is not a benchmark. It is a tool used by system
|
||
|
|
administrators to evaluate how well their systems will scale,
|
||
|
|
by kernel programmers to evaluate perceived performance
|
||
|
|
characteristics, and by systems programmers to expose the
|
||
|
|
classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest
|
||
|
|
themselves when the system is under heavy load.
