cpuburn: a rust tool for maximizing your CPU usage

This tool will take all your cores and use all of them. Nice for testing stress as well as CPU throttling (for instance in a VM or container environment).

This tool is named after the old cpuburn linux tool. I just wanted to whip up something I could compile easy for myself. Hope you find it useful!

Installation

cargo install cpuburn

Usage

Press ^C to terminate it.
