Lookbusy is a user-friendly app designed to create fake traffic on a Linux operating system. With its simplistic features, it can efficiently generate synthetic load to test system performance.
Lookbusy is a software application designed for generating synthetic load on Linux systems. This means that users can use Lookbusy to produce a predetermined, predictable load on the CPU, memory, and disk traffic. Unlike a load simulator, Lookbusy doesn't attempt to model the actions of real-world applications for benchmarking or testing purposes. Rather, it enables users to tailor the level of busyness of their system according to their needs.
When generating CPU loads, Lookbusy adjusts its own consumption up or down to keep the CPU(s) at the chosen utilization level. Additionally, Lookbusy can induce load at a fixed level or on a repeating cycle that mimics daily traffic load curves.
With this release, Lookbusy has fixed self-adjusting load issues on multi-CPU systems. Minor portability improvements and interface tidying were also done.
Overall, Lookbusy is a simple yet effective software tool for generating synthetic loads on a Linux system. It empowers users to simulate the level of busyness they require to suit their use case or testing needs.
