This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces. stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard. Use stress-ng with caution as some of...

Pumba is a chaos testing command line tool for Docker containers. Pumba disturbs your containers by crashing containerized applications, emulating network failures and stress-testing container resources (cpu, memory, fs, io, and others).

Prime95 is a popular software tool used primarily for stress testing and benchmarking computer processors by running intense calculations based on the Mersenne prime search algorithm. This rigorous testing helps users gauge system stability and detect potential issues, particularly useful for overclockers, hardware testers, and enthusiasts aiming for optimal CPU performance.

...The application continuously checks whether websites and services are accessible and performing optimally, generating alerts and reports when availability or performance degrades. It supports detailed infrastructure monitoring through an optional agent called Capture, which collects hardware metrics such as CPU, memory, disk usage, and temperature from remote machines. The system is designed to scale, having been stress-tested with more than a thousand active monitors without major performance issues. Checkmate also includes incident tracking and notification capabilities so teams can quickly respond to outages or anomalies. Overall, the platform serves as a comprehensive, developer-friendly alternative to commercial uptime and infrastructure monitoring tools.

powerMAX is a CPU and GPU burn-in tool designed to push your hardware to its absolute thermal and power limits. It helps users uncover stability issues, cooling weaknesses, and power delivery problems by applying maximum, sustained stress to both the processor and graphics card. The utility supports dedicated CPU tests—SSE or AVX—and a demanding GPU 3D rendering test, with the option to run both simultaneously for full-system power load evaluation.

wrk is a modern, command-line HTTP benchmarking tool engineered for high performance, capable of generating substantial load using a single multi-core CPU by leveraging multithreading and scalable event notification systems. An optional LuaJIT script can perform HTTP request generation, response processing, and custom reporting. Details are available in SCRIPTING and several examples are located in scripts. The machine running wrk must have a sufficient number of ephemeral ports available...

Pow! is a lightweight, but powerful utility to help stress-test your CPU and GPU. You can also use it check the warranty status of any serialized Apple product, view a summary of your computer’s hardware information, and more.
