From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for open source linux / android stress testing software. (lemmy.ml)

Looking for open source linux / android stress testing software. Specifically to test storage / ram / cpu / gpu etc. Same goes for android but to also include tests for the screen / speakers / sensors etc.

Coming from windows I would use OCCT / prime95 / memtest86+ / 3D mark / valley benchmark, h2testw. So I am looking for open source alternatives, preferably with a gui, for both linux and android.

This is with an aim to just stress testing components for several hours to make sure the system as a whole is stable and working well. For new / second hand systems and for fault location troubleshooting.

Thank you.

What distro are you using? There are 3 big distro’s you need to keep in mind for, Debian, Arch and Fedora, every other distro typically bases themselves off of one of these big distro’s.

Documentation is your friend, if you’re using a Debian based distros the stress ng repository linked above has this in their documentation -

Debian packages for Ubuntu

Recent versions of stress-ng are available in the Ubuntu stress-ng ppa for various Ubuntu releases:

https://launchpad.net/~colin-king/+archive/ubuntu/stress-ng

(run the commands below to install the package)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/stress-ng
sudo apt update
sudo apt install stress-ng

Now that is installed, they have an examples section.

Examples

Run 8 CPU stressors for 60 seconds:

stress-ng --cpu 8 --timeout 60
stress-ng: info:  [184401] setting to a 1 min run per stressor
stress-ng: info:  [184401] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu
stress-ng: info:  [184401] skipped: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] passed: 8: cpu (8)
stress-ng: info:  [184401] failed: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] metrics untrustworthy: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] successful run completed in 1 min
