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).
