Re: [opensuse] how to burn my cpu?

Thu, 24 May 2007, by tuxebi@xxxxxx:

Hi,

I am looking for an app that makes my CPU as hot as can be.

Download and burn UBCD.
That has a good collection of tests for (almost) every piece of
hardware you can think of.

In the mean time, here's something that keeps the CPU busy for a
bit:

/*
* load50.c -- a simple busy-looping tool.
*
* Obviously, this runs with any kernel and any Unix
*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i, load=50;

if (argc==2) {
load=atoi(argv[1]);
}
printf("Bringing load to %i\n",load);

for (i=0; i<load; i++)
if (fork()==0)
break;

while(1)
;
return 0;
}

I picked it up on news many moons ago, don't remember the author.
