stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU, memory,
|
||
|
|
I/O, or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system. It is
|
||
|
|
written in highly-portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU Autotools to
|
||
|
|
compile on a great number of UNIX-like operating systems. stress is not
|
||
|
|
a benchmark. It is a tool used by system administrators to evaluate how
|
||
|
|
well their systems will scale, by kernel programmers to evaluate
|
||
|
|
perceived performance characteristics, and by systems programmers to
|
||
|
|
expose the classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest
|
||
|
|
themselves when the system is under heavy load.
