Hi TriLug,
At my place of employment we are converting an embedded system from
WinXP Embedded to Linux.
What I need is a program(or several different ones) that will allow
us to do a Thermal evaluation of the processor - get it hot. This
device does not have a graphics card so running BZFlag is out! The
normal function will be doing lots of numeric computations and image
processing
One solution that comes to mind is a script file running
"ImageMagik", converting images back and forth, rotating and such.
Can the Trilug suggest any other cpu intensive programs?

I use the following to heat up a cpu
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
do
for j in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
do
echo .......... $i.$j
md5sum /proc/kcore &
md5sum /proc/kcore &
md5sum /proc/kcore &
md5sum /proc/kcore
done
done
This kicks off 4 heavy cpu processes. I use 4 because the rackount system
was dual cpu with hyperthreading ( probably two was sufficient to keep the
cpus busy).
I have seen 15C-20C swings when running this script. It peggs xload
and xosview.
