Description

Generates many selectable workloads for stressing processors, memory, storage, timers, schedulers, and other system components. Administrators use it to expose instability, compare behavior, and exercise monitoring under heavy load.

The workloads can make a machine unresponsive, hot, noisy, or unstable by design. Choose tests carefully, avoid important unsaved work, and monitor temperatures and logs while it runs.
