The cpuburn programs are designed to load x86 CPUs as heavily as
|
||
|
|
possible for the purposes of system testing. They have been
|
||
|
|
optimized for different processors. FPU and ALU instructions are
|
||
|
|
coded an assembler endless loop. They do not test every instruction.
|
||
|
|
The goal has been to maximize heat production from the CPU, putting
|
||
|
|
stress on the CPU itself, cooling system, motherboard (especially
|
||
|
|
voltage regulators) and power supply (likely cause of burnBX/MMX
|
||
|
|
errors).
