Software that puts a high load on the CPU to stress test its performance and stability.

CPU Eater is a freeware benchmarking app and benchmarker developed by Bitsum Technologies for Windows. It's light on system resources, portable, straightforward, easy-to-use, well-designed and easy to setup.

The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. We've also created some screenshots of CPU Eater to illustrate the user interface and show the overall usage and features of this benchmarking program.

CPU benchmarking utility

This application will simply initiate a load upon all system CPU(s).

CPU Eater was created for testing Process Lasso's ProBalance technology. However, it can be used to test anything for the effect on overall system responsiveness.

Usage instructions:
* Download and run the above link appropriate to your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit)
* It will automatically start the CPU Eater control application for you
* Press the START button to initiate the test in a background process running at NORMAL priority
* If you PC seems to freeze because Process Lasso's ProBalance is not active, WAIT and everything will return to normal after the test terminates in a minute (or however long you specified). We also temporarily increase the priority of the control application so that you will hopefully be able to press the STOP button to terminate the background process that is hogging CPU cycles. Of course, if Process Lasso is running and ProBalance enabled then you won't have this problem.
