SYNOPSIS
cpuload [-p] target-load-percentage
DESCRIPTION
Cpuload is a small tool that can be used to generate an adjustable amount of CPU load.
Please note that the actual amount of load generated will not exactly match the requested value. The difference between requested and actual measured value should be somewhere between 5-9%. When using value of 0 for the load percentage, a random CPU load will be generated. The load will be generated by alternating between very short periods of a running busy loop and idling with nanosleep.
OPTIONS
| -p | Raise the priority of cpuload. Only works when run as a root. |
