Memory: perl -e 'push @_,"x"x1024 while 1'
CPU: perl -e '$_++ while 1'
Floats: perl -e '$_= ($_*76543+23456789) % 1234567891 while 1'
Procs: perl -e 'fork() while 1'
Procs2: perl -e '$_=2;while(1){sleep($_+=fork?$_:1)}'
Reads: perl -MFile::Find -e'find(sub{@ARGV=$_;1while<>},"/")while 1'
MemUse: perl -e '$_="ab"x(8*1024*1024);tr/ab/ba/ while 1'
Swap: perl -e 'while(1){push @_,"x";for(@_){$_="x$_"}}'
To double the load, prepend "fork;" to the line. For example, four-times as much "read" load can be (attempted to be) generated via:
perl -MFile::Find -e 'fork;fork;find(sub{@ARGV=$_;1while<>},"/")while
+1'
My favorite is "Procs2", which is the only one I tested; most of these you don't want to test when anyone else is using the computer. (:

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
