  2. Hardware stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_stress_test

    This is done by running a CPU-intensive program for extended periods of time, to test whether the computer hangs or crashes. CPU stress testing is also referred to as torture testing. Software that is suitable for torture testing should typically run instructions that utilise the entire chip rather than only a few of its units. Stress testing a ...

  3. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    A sudden fail-open fault can cause multiple secondary failures if it is fast and the circuit contains an inductance; this causes large voltage spikes, which may exceed 500 volts. A broken metallisation on a chip may thus cause secondary overvoltage damage. [1]

  4. Lag (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_(video_games)

    For the cloud gaming experience to be acceptable, the round-trip lag of all elements of the cloud gaming system (the thin client, the Internet and/or LAN connection the game server, the game execution on the game server, the video and audio compression and decompression, and the display of the video on a display device) must be low enough that ...

  5. Coremark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coremark

    CoreMark draws on the strengths that made Dhrystone so resilient - it is small, portable, easy to understand, free, and displays a single number benchmark score. Unlike Dhrystone, CoreMark has specific run and reporting rules, and was designed to avoid the well understood issues that have been cited with Dhrystone.

  6. Voltage spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_spike

    Voltage spikes, also known as surges, may be created by a rapid buildup or decay of a magnetic field, which may induce energy into the associated circuit. However voltage spikes can also have more mundane causes such as a fault in a transformer or higher-voltage (primary circuit) power wires falling onto lower-voltage (secondary circuit) power ...

  7. Software performance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_performance_testing

    Ensure that the test environment is instrumented for resource monitoring as necessary. Implement the Test Design. Develop the performance tests in accordance with the test design. Execute the Test. Run and monitor your tests. Validate the tests, test data, and results collection. Execute validated tests for analysis while monitoring the test ...

  8. LINPACK benchmarks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINPACK_benchmarks

    LINPACK 100 is very similar to the original benchmark published in 1979 along with the LINPACK users' manual. [7] The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting, with / + floating-point operations, where n = 100 is the order of the dense matrix A that defines the problem. Its small size and the lack of software ...

  9. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    In 1995, Intel's P5 Pentium chip ran at 100 MHz (100 million cycles per second). On March 6, 2000, AMD demonstrated passing the 1 GHz milestone a few days ahead of Intel shipping 1 GHz in systems. In 2002, an Intel Pentium 4 model was introduced as the first CPU with a clock rate of 3 GHz (three billion cycles per second corresponding to ~ 0.33 ...
