benchmark program for putting a load to the processor

[dilbert]

Hi!

I'm looking for simple command line tool that I can use to put a load to the processor to check how other applications perform under heavy load.

It should be simple and without dependencies because it should run on an embedded system with a MIPS processor having busybox on it.

Can someone recommend such a tool (with source code for cross-compiling).

you can use Super Pi. check this thread.

Thanks, but for super_pi, I found only a binary that doesn't run on a MIPS processor.

realfeel.c is only one file, but is uses an asm directive only for the Intel x86 architecture.

ubench comes with a configure and Makefile not intended for cross-compiling. After changing this, I still run into compile errors.

Is there something easier, something which starts already with a nice:
$ ./configure --host="..."


Still searching ...

Well, at the moment, I help myself remembering the simple and ancient benchmark programs like those:

They compile anywhere and anyhow.
