Description
stress FOR LINUX
Looking for a tool to impose stress on your POSIX-compliant operating system? Look no further than stress for Linux!
Overview
stress is a powerful tool designed to simulate various stress factors on your system, including CPU, memory, I/O, and disk stress. Developed in portable ANSI C, stress uses the GNU Autotools for easy compilation on most UNIX-like operating systems. Best of all, stress is completely free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.
Key Features
- Imposes configurable CPU, memory, I/O, and disk stress
- Not a benchmark tool but used by system admins, kernel programmers, and systems programmers to assess system scalability and performance
- Listed in the GNU Free Software Directory and utilized by the Linux Test Project
- Part of the purpose-optimized GNU/Linux distribution stresslinux
Invocation Example
With stress, you can easily emulate heavy system loads by specifying the number of CPU-bound, I/O-bound, and memory allocator processes. For example:
$ stress --cpu 2 --io 1 --vm 1 --vm-bytes 128M --timeout 10s --verboseUsage
Whether you are a system administrator, kernel programmer, or systems programmer, stress offers invaluable insight into system performance and scalability. It can help you validate system behavior under different stress conditions and expose potential bugs that surface only under heavy loads.
