CPU down to it's knee

Dan Mos

Ever since I've got the new iCore7 980 I struglled to make it 100% bussy. No luck. I was running Winrar, Encoding two movies with two different tools. Still I could not make it go beyond 70% bussy. I made it my New Years Resolution to make the CPU crumble on it's knee. After I tried all sorts of programs. I finally got the ideea to create a dummy one myself. Not only is it 100%, but Winamp(or any other media player for that matter) can't play an mp3 properly. I just didn't thought of creating a dummy infinte loop aberation before. Well it it is this little stupid piece that nailed it's arse.

        while (!false)
        {
            Parallel.For(0, 8000000, i =>
            {
                i += (i - i);
            });
        }

I can now RIP :cool:

All the best, Dan

Lol, I suppose you are just too good for:

while(true)

I like wild sutff. This is my favourite:

while(false.ToString.ToLower() != "TRUE")

:)

That would be mine: :)

int selfConfidence = 10;
int actualAbilities = 7;

while(selfConfidence > actualAbilities)
{
DoStupidThings();
}

Just curious as to "why" you would want to do this other then pure boredom. :-D

Well I got a powerfull PSU and I wanted the CPU to go wild (watt wise). Yeah I'm bored. I'm on vacation. So... You Know, stuff happens... And it's totally out of my control. I suspect it's the brain that's doing this. But, I'm not 100% sure, you know... :)

All the best, Dan

We used to run such apps as a thermal stress test for our proprietary electronics... And the tests were somewhat more complex, as we wanted to run all functional units to their maximum (or as far as possible), not just the instruction path and integer units; and it also needed maximum bus activity. :)

Download some high end 3D app like Houdini, Vue (especially Vue - this causes all 8 of my cores to go apeshit the whole time it's busy rendering) or After Effects and setup something complex and render it.

On Vista you can achieve the same result by doing:

while (true)
    Thread.Sleep (Int32.MaxValue);

You have far too much time on your hands. Get a hobby, or a woman; either will solve that problem.

Look, when the 'T' key on your keyboard is eaten by the dog, you can comment. Until then, shaddap.

You can use a tool called Prime95 to do that

:) Woman I have. Hobbies too. Just that sometimes I don't feel like doing anything and then all kind of nice ideeas go through my head.

All the best, Dan
