GtkStressTesting (GST) is a GTK system utility designed to stress and monitor various hardware components like CPU and RAM.
GST is a frontend to stress-ng.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Run different CPU and memory stress tests.
- Run multi and single core benchmark.
- Show Processor information (name, cores, threads, family, model, stepping, flags,bugs, etc).
- Show Processor’s cache information.
- Show Motherboard information (vendor, model, bios version, bios date, etc).
- Show RAM information (size, speed, rank, manufacturer, part number, etc).
- Show CPU usage (core %, user %, load avg, etc).
- Show Memory usage.
- Show CPU’s physical’s core clock (current, min, max).
- Show Hardware monitor (info provided by sys/class/hwmon).
