 |
|
I'm looking for any ideas and or exist6ing tools for creating a high
system load on the PC. Our app is timer based, and exhibits nasty
behaviors when the system is "busy". So we're trying to find a way to
debug where that level of "busy-ness" kicks in. Anyone have any insights?
Thanks
Brad

I've posted an extremely simple one to .attachments.
It allows you to adjust the priority of the "loading" thread, which
determines how much it "suffocates" other processes.
I had written another one, which would try to push the average CPU load
to an arbitrary max level, but I seem to have lost it...
anyway it wasn't that accurate or good.

Have seti running and rise the process priority to normal.

LOL! Seti is always running on my system.
Reveals quite a few bugs in low priority threaded apps. <eg>
