system stress test

[Carruth, Rusty]

That looks interesting (stress).  I did manage to find a message on 11/5/2017 where bmike1 ran memtester

However, on 10/31/2017 there was a message referencing a message about running glmark2 and stress (and dt).  So my guess is stress and glmark2

Here’s a cut from the emails:

 $ stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M --timeout 10s
stress: info: [7571] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu, 4 io, 2 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [7571] successful run completed in 10s

and

So maybe kick off both stress and

glmark2 --run-forever


I did the search the hard way, by going through my old email folders.  I probably should have just gone to the archives of the mailing list…  Oh, well.

There is a package called `stress` that can be used to literally "stress" a system - depending on your system specs would determine how many cpu cores you would want to utilize in the test, I've never run it with more than my system had, (but now I'm curious). I don't think it's a default package however, so you might need to apt/yum/pacman/emerge as necessary.

running it looks something like this:

stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 1024M --timeout 10s

you can find more info on it by checking info:

info stress

I usually run it in one terminal window then have another running my process monitor (top, htop, conky etc) to observe and tweak the parameters.

Hope this helps!

a while ago my computer would crash. Someone gave me two commands to run to see if something was not working as it should be. I ran the first command and my computer handled it. But then I ran the second command (I think while the first was running) and the system crashed. I want those tw stress test commands. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I really appreciate you guys (even if you can't help).
