I posted a GPU OCing guide that IMHO is more inclusive than the Phoronix article. It's also targeted at Ubuntu/Debian with Nvidia GPU's and is good for beginners. (as ATI's support for Linux is lacking to say the least)
I've always used windows for stress testing and for ages believed that windows was the only way to do it, but now you're saying you can use linux as well so just wondering which you found better?
i wouldn't say it's better at stress testing. this thread was just to show that it's possible. if you want to participate in hwbot.org then you pretty much still need windows.
My requirement is a little strange : i want to exert 50% load on CPU . IS there any tool/way that can help me maintain a little more control over the load that I can put on CPU?
with phoronix test suite out now, it's pretty much useless tho. all the tests are right there at your finger tips. then just make sure you have lmsensors installed and working, then conky or gkrellm to monitor
I was looking for programs to stress memory and able to test how the system reacts to memory allocation larger than system memory.
None of the list seems to be good for that.
But I've found two new ones, you can find them with the package manager:
memtester
stressapptest
