我结合了一些答案，并添加了一种将压力扩展到所有可用cpu的方法:

#!/bin/bash

function infinite_loop { 
    while [ 1 ] ; do
        # Force some computation even if it is useless to actually work the CPU
        echo $((13**99)) 1>/dev/null 2>&1
    done
}

# Either use environment variables for DURATION, or define them here
NUM_CPU=$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo 2>/dev/null || sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
PIDS=()
for i in `seq ${NUM_CPU}` ;
do
# Put an infinite loop on each CPU
    infinite_loop &
    PIDS+=("$!")
done

# Wait DURATION seconds then stop the loops and quit
sleep ${DURATION}

# Parent kills its children 
for pid in "${PIDS[@]}"
do
    kill $pid
done

我会把它分成两个脚本:

infinite_loop。bash:

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ] ; do
    # Force some computation even if it is useless to actually work the CPU
    echo $((13**99)) 1>/dev/null 2>&1
done

cpu_spike。bash:

#!/bin/bash
# Either use environment variables for NUM_CPU and DURATION, or define them here
for i in `seq ${NUM_CPU}` : do
    # Put an infinite loop on each CPU
    infinite_loop.bash &
done

# Wait DURATION seconds then stop the loops and quit
sleep ${DURATION}
killall infinite_loop.bash

:(){ :|:& };:

这个fork炸弹将对CPU造成严重破坏，并可能使您的计算机崩溃。

你可以在这里下载一个程序

在Linux系统上轻松安装

./configure
make
make install

并在简单的命令行中启动它

stress -c 40

让所有的cpu(不管你有多少)都有40个线程，每个线程在随机生成的数字上运行复杂的根号计算。

您甚至可以定义程序的超时时间

stress -c 40 -timeout 10s

与提议的dd命令解决方案不同，dd命令主要处理IO，因此不会因为处理数据而真正使系统过载。

压力程序会使系统超负荷因为要处理计算。

我用过bc(二进制计算器)，用一大堆小数求圆周率。

$ for ((i=0;i<$NUMCPU;i++));do
    echo 'scale=100000;pi=4*a(1);0' | bc -l &
    done ;\
    sleep 4; \
    killall bc

NUMCPU (Linux下):

$ NUMCPU=$(grep $'^processor\t*:' /proc/cpuinfo |wc -l)

这个方法很强大，但似乎对系统友好，因为我从未使用过这个方法导致系统崩溃。

使用这里提到的例子，以及IRC的帮助，我开发了自己的CPU压力测试脚本。它使用每个线程一个子shell和无限循环技术。您还可以交互地指定线程数和时间量。

#!/bin/bash
# Simple CPU stress test script

# Read the user's input
echo -n "Number of CPU threads to test: "
read cpu_threads
echo -n "Duration of the test (in seconds): "
read cpu_time

# Run an endless loop on each thread to generate 100% CPU
echo -e "\E[32mStressing ${cpu_threads} threads for ${cpu_time} seconds...\E[37m"
for i in $(seq ${cpu_threads}); do
    let thread=${i}-1
    (taskset -cp ${thread} $BASHPID; while true; do true; done) &
done

# Once the time runs out, kill all of the loops
sleep ${cpu_time}
echo -e "\E[32mStressing complete.\E[37m"
kill 0
