NAME
cpuburn, burnBX, burnK6, burnK7, burnMMX, burnP5, burnP6 - a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU
SYNOPSIS
burnBX burnK6 burnK7 burnMMX burnP5 burnP6
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).
