Stress Test (kernel compile)

[hmuller]

Did you get any WiFi disconnections during the compile ? There are some reports on the forum that the temperature is responsible for the problems with WiFi.

Reviewing /var/log/syslog shows quite a few messages related to WiFi but they appear to be interspersed throughout the log and not isolated to periods with increased temperatures. So I cannot confirm that correlation.

Is there some other gpu heavy test that can be run simultatiosly to stress both cpu and gpu at the same time? Maybe a timedemo in Quake3? 

I am olso looking for a smal program to display cpu/gpu load and temp. It was many years since I´ve done any stresstesting on Linux, but back then I used conky. Is there another option nowadays? Maby something even more lightweight?

A Google search on this provides interesting results regarding GPU stress testing. It's not something I have looked into. And given my lack of familiarity with that topic, caution would be my watch word.

I don't have any recommendations on cpu/gpu monitoring for the PBP. But I use the i3wm DE on my desktop computer and have configured i3bar to provide that information. Conky, as far as I know, would still be an option to consider.
