Hey everybody!
Today I was a bit bored, so I decided to play with my C++ compilator, and without wanting to, I made what I think is a hard-stesss CPU program.
It is amazingly simple, it's based on multipling 2*3, 3*4, 4*5, 5*6 and 6*7, and printing it on the screen. But when I ran it, my computer slows down much more than with prime, superpi, or whatever.

That's why I thought that you guys could tell me if it is a good stresser or not. :)


P.D: I think it's only good for single cores. :P

Well, it only uses 740k of mem, and my cpu is anywhere from 15-30% load... not good imo

Yea, I know. :D The thing is that I was not at home, so I was running it in a K6-III 450Mhz... :D :D

Doesn't slow down my PC much, but I'm glad that you kept it at a minimal size. How about trying some more calculations? If the output wasn't all 1, it would sort of look like the Matrix :)

will it tell you if it calculates it wrong?
