stress<BR>
tool to impose stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system<BR>
Stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU, memory, I/O,<BR>
or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system. Stress is written<BR>
in highly-portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU Autotools to compile on a<BR>
great number of UNIX-like operating systems.<BR>
<BR>
Stress is not a benchmark, it is rather a tool which puts the system under<BR>
a repeatable, defined amount of load so that a systems programmer or system<BR>
administrator can analyze the performance characteristics of the system or<BR>
specific components thereof.<BR>

spew.i386 1.0.4-1.2.el5.rf rpmforge<BR>
Matched from:<BR>
Spew is used to measure I/O performance of character devices, block devices,<BR>
and regular files. It can also be used to generate high I/O loads to stress<BR>
systems while verifying data integrity.<BR>
<BR>
Spew is easy to use and is flexible. No configuration files or complicated<BR>
client/server configurations are needed. Spew also generates its own data<BR>
patterns that are designed to make it easy to find and debug data integrity<BR>
problems.<BR>

cpuburn.i586 1.4-1.2.el5.rf rpmforge<BR>
Matched from:<BR>
cpuburn is a suite of assembly-coded routines designed to put maximum<BR>
heat stress on the CPU and motherboard components by a<BR>
P6/P5/K6/K7-optimized mix of FPU and ALU instructions. There are also<BR>
routines to test RAM controllers (burnMMX/BX). Please note that this<BR>
program is designed to heavily load chips. Undercooled, overclocked,<BR>
or otherwise weak systems may fail, causing data loss (filesystem<BR>
corruption) and possibly permanent damage to electronic components.<BR>
Use it at your own risk!!<BR>

fio.i386 1.16.5-1.el5.rf rpmforge<BR>
Matched from:<BR>
I/O benchmark and stress/hardware verification tool<BR>
fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware<BR>
verification. It has support for 6 different types of I/O engines (sync,<BR>
mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice), I/O priorities (for newer Linux<BR>
kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more.<BR>
<BR>
It can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions<BR>
in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are included.<BR>
fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, such as completion and<BR>
submission latencies (avg/mean/deviation), bandwidth stats, CPU, and disk<BR>
utilization, and more. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenSolaris.<BR>
