cpuburn, burnBX, burnK6, burnK7, burnMMX, burnP5, burnP6 - a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU
SYNOPSIS
burnBXburnK6burnK7burnMMXburnP5burnP6
DESCRIPTION
These programs are designed to load x86 CPUs as heavily as
possible for the purposes of system testing. They have been
optimized for different processors. FPU and ALU instructions
are coded an assembler endless loop. They do not test every
instruction. The goal has been to maximize heat production
from the CPU, putting stress on the CPU itself, cooling system,
motherboard (especially voltage regulators) and power supply
(likely cause of burnBX/MMX errors).
