CPU Benchmark - Set Load, usage spikes

  • 772

I need a CPU benchmark to test the performance impact of various power management policies. I must be able to set the load (e.g. to get a relatively steady load of 20%-30%-60%) and to simulate usage spikes (set frequency of spikes). I would also like it to be scriptable so as to be able to change benchmark settings in an indirect manner. I will be using Windows Server 2003.

  1. Knowing the operating system you wish to perform these tests would be helpful :)
