I need a program that will just run everything at max so I can measure the max power used on some systems. My 'Kill a Watt' meter should show up early next week.
SO run that CPU at max, using all memory, and keeping the harddrive spinning.
I can jsut do pings on the lan card for it to stay awake.
I have searched here and on the net and have come back with nothing.
nothing I know heats up a CPU faster than mersenne.org's mprime in its torture test mode. heat is power. run one instance per CPU core using the CPU affinity option
then simulataneously run some heavy cconcurrent disk IO operation, like tarring large numbers of files disk to disk...
and, if you have a hard core graphics, run some kinda fancy openGL demoware (in Windows, with a nvidia card, I'd suggest running one of nvidia's geforce demo programs..)
