+stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU,
+memory, I/O, or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating
+system. It is written in portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU
+Autotools to compile on a great number of UNIX-like operating
+systems.
+
+stress is not a benchmark. It is a tool used by system
+administrators to evaluate how well their systems will scale,
+by kernel programmers to evaluate perceived performance
+characteristics, and by systems programmers to expose the
+classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest
+themselves when the system is under heavy load.
