I use stress to check cpu/MB Temps under load to determine cpu coolers and

apt-get install lm-sensors

watch -n 1 sensors

apt-get install stress-ng

stress-ng --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M --fork 4 --timeout 10m

open two terminals one to run stress one to monitor temps

8=number cpu cores    10=minutes to test


I'd also recommend stress-ng. Colin has put a lot of work and features into 
that.

That looks interesting (stress).  I did manage to find a message on
11/5/2017 where bmike1 ran memtester



However, on 10/31/2017 there was a message referencing a message about
running glmark2 and stress (and dt).  So my guess is stress and glmark2



Here’s a cut from the emails:

stress: info: [7571] successful run completed in 10s



and



So maybe kick off both stress and

glmark2 --run-forever





I did the search the hard way, by going through my old email folders.  I
probably should have just gone to the archives of the mailing list…  Oh,
well.

There is a package called `stress` that can be used to literally "stress"
a system - depending on your system specs would determine how many cpu
cores you would want to utilize in the test, I've never run it with more
than my system had, (but now I'm curious). I don't think it's a default
package however, so you might need to apt/yum/pacman/emerge as necessary.



running it looks something like this:



stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 1024M --timeout 10s



you can find more info on it by checking info:



info stress



I usually run it in one terminal window then have another running my
process monitor (top, htop, conky etc) to observe and tweak the parameters.



Hope this helps!

a while ago my computer would crash. Someone gave me two commands to run
to see if something was not working as it should be. I ran the first
command and my computer handled it. But then I ran the second command (I
think while the first was running) and the system crashed. I want those tw
stress test commands. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I really
appreciate you guys (even if you can't help).
