PRM Testing

I would like to do some PRM testing and wonder if anyone has a utility(ies) to create CPU and memory loads??? Home-grown or freeware.

Goal is to setup a PRM test environment and simulate various workloads.

Hi, Mitch!

For simulation of a CPU bound process you can simply run an endless loop in a shell, e.g.:

#!/usr/bin/sh
while :; do :; done

If you need some memory stress, you can use memhog. I can send you a copy of this... just drop me an Email (forename.surname@hp.com).

Best regards...
Dietmar.
