Dear Gang..

Any of you know what tools (preferrably open source) I can use to generate predefined amount of CPU load in Linux? For example, the tool can receive an argument to generate 40% CPU load:

./loader -l 40

I plan to use such tool to generate background load, and do certain tests with another application to test scheduling latency. Thanks in advance for your advice.

regards,

Mulyadi

ISTR there's a tool called 'stress' that can do this sort of thing for you.
