This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces. stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard. Use stress-ng with caution as some of the tests can make a system run hot on poorly designed hardware and also can cause excessive system thrashing which may be difficult to stop.

Features

  • 330+ stress tests
  • 80+ CPU specific stress tests that exercise floating point, integer, bit manipulation and control flow
  • 20+ virtual memory stress tests
  • 40+ file system stress tests
