#GOOD CPU STRESS TEST CODE#
Note: ndisk64 had to be radically hacked about and features disabled to get it to compile so I would consider this different source code - don't expect all the options in the AIX version to be available.Linux for computers that use the POWER processor tools:.Note: The command-line options maybe different.Do not ask for support for the AIX 5 version.Compiled on AIX 6 TL7 SP3 runs fine on any later version and AIX 7.1 TL2 onwards.These files contains all the binary command files and scripts.You specify date in kilobytes (KB) output per secondĬreates, writes, and deletes files to push the JFS and JFS log hardĮxample script to create the file systems used by the scripts - you need to edit the file for your systemĮxample script to start a fake database RDBMS - you need to edit the file for your systemĮxample script to start a fake web server - you need to edit the file for your system Tests shared memory, semaphores, and shared messages in a ring of processes - takes 1 CPU
#GOOD CPU STRESS TEST 64 BIT#
Hammers or touches memory - complied 64 bit so it has access large memory (many GBs) Uses the Modular IO AIX Expansion pack library must be installed (experimental not currently available) Hammers the disks compiled for large files so it can access large files (many GBs) Hammers the CPUs (can be slowed down to use a percentage) With a 20 line shell script and these tools, I don't have to spend a week of setup time.

Soak testing = check a new machine/disk to remove early life failures.Luckily HP is going to send me a loner computer for the time this will take to repair mine which I am extremely thankful for having. Loathing return processes I put things off with the excuse of not being able to afford to lose access because I use the device for work. Honestly, I didn't want to admit that anything could possibly be wrong because the computer is basically brand new. I had run an outside test, as you suggested, using a third-party app and was afraid that my CPU was overheating. It seems the coolant fan for the CPU is malfunctioning, and that is what was causing the computer to freeze while running the CPU stress test. We covered a lot of ground and to make a long story short my case requires me to actually send the computer out for repair. We were able to work thru your suggestions as well as perform a systems check in BIOS. Due to the urgency of my specific situation, I ended up contacting HP Customer Support via telephone. Luckily HP is going to send me a loner computer for the time this will take to repair mine which I am extremely thankful for thank you for your well-versed response to my issue.
