| | Description:
System Stability Tester is a CPU burning, memory testing and benchmarking utility. It calculates the PI number in thread pairs using algorithms like Gauss-Legendre or Borwein.
What System Stability Tester can do:
- Calculate up to 128 million digits of pi
- Create up to 32 threads
- Recognize the CPU model, manufacturer and operational frequency
- Compare the calculation results of all the threads after each step and issue a warning if something went wrong.
- Run continuously for up to 50 turns and log the results after each step and each turn
- Record the calculated digits of PI in a human readable text file
- Single threaded calculation of Pi for benchmarking, similar to the well know SuperPi benchmark.
- Checksum validation over the result.
System Stability Tester works under various platforms such as Linux x86, Linux amd64, Linux alpha, Tru64 Unix, Solaris 10/x86, Solaris 10/SPARC, AIX 5.3, HP UX 11.11i PA-RISC, Mac OS X i386, Win32 NT Class and Win64.
We usually provide static or partially static binaries for all the above unix and unix-like platforms. We also provide installation executables for the Microsoft Windows platforms soon after the release of the source code.
System Stability Tester depends on the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library, the fastest bignum library on the planet!
