Keep in mind that the using a utility like the ones I've listed below is only _simulating_ what a load _might_ be like in a real application. The best thing to do is to actually test your application. - hackbench - scheduling load (nice because it's part of rt-tests) - stress - load-generating swiss-army knife - xfstests - disk / filesystem load - 'make -j' in a kernel source tree - iperf - network load - glxgears - gfx load (those are the ones that come to mind, there are others I'm forgetting) Julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
