timers/cpu_multithread_burner.c

/* cpu_multithread_burner.c

   Usage: cpu_multithread_burner period...

   This program creates one thread per command-line argument. Each thread
   loops consuming CPU, and, after each 'period' seconds of elapsed time,
   reports its thread ID and rate of CPU consumption since the last report.

   For some experiments, it is useful to confine all threads to the
   same CPU, using taskset(1). For example:

        taskset 0x1 ./cpu_multithread_burner 2 2

   See also cpu_multi_burner.c.
