Stressberry – stress testing the Raspberry Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi

Stressberry is software which stress tests and provides temperature plots for the Raspberry Pi.

There are a million ways to cool down your Raspberry Pi: Small heat sinks, specific cases, and some extreme DIY solutions. stressberry is a package for testing the core temperature under different loads, and it produces nice plots which can easily be compared.

The run lets the CPU idle for a bit, then stresses it with maximum load for 5 minutes, and lets it cool down afterwards. The entire process takes 10 minutes. The resulting data is displayed to a screen or, if specified, written to a PNG file.
