stressypy 0.0.12

A simple program for calling stress and/or stress-ng from python

stressypy uses the unix package stress to stress a certain number of cpus for a certain amount of time, as specified by the user. It creates JobBlock objects which contain pertinent information for using these stress loads to test queueing algorithms.

JobBlock Attributes:

The JobBlock class is used to store any function and its cpu width and time height.

instance attributes

• n_cpu: number of cpus being stressed

• t_run: the time it will take to run the job

• func: the function the block is storing

• func_args: the arguments for the function the block is storing

• job: a combination of the func and arg to return the complete job that the block should execute

attribute type	description
input	n_cpu: number of cpus being stressed
input	t_run: the time it will take to run the job
set with set_job()	func: the function the block is storing
set with set_job()	func_args: the arguments for the function the block is storing
calculated	job: a combination of the func and arg to return the complete job that the block should execute

Installation

stressypy can be installed with pip install stressypy

Directions

stressypy runs using the command stressy stress with the number of cpus and time passed as arguments

• stressy stress 1 1 stresses 1 core for 1 second
