Stress Test In Linux?

carlosinfl · 06-22-2006, 03:37 PM

Is there a stress test utility I can install or use in Linux that will run the CPU, RAM, & disks?

We have some new blades and would like to test them out or atleast get their wheels spinning while we plan a week to throw them into production.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You could also try generating bitcoins.

Or just build KDE or Gnome

Prime95 is a good stress tester although the Linux version is not quite up to par with the windows version. It still provides close stress test equivalence to the windows version. It is a console app only. You can get it here:

stress should be in Package near you...

Code:

stress --cpu 2 --io 1 --vm 1 --vm-bytes 256M --timeout 360s

man stress for further details.

LinuxBasix talked about the Phoronix Test Suite in a recent episode. It might be worth a look.
