In what way(s) do you want to "overwhelm" this "powerful computer"?
- Network?
- CPU?
- RAM?
- Storage IO?
- Specific app(s) on the system?
- Something else?
What OS is it running?
- To "overwhelm" Windows is not always the same as to how to "overwhelm" Linux
- To "overwhelm" via virtualization (or containers) is rarely the same as with a whole device with a single dedicated OS
- kingofthehills 2y agoall good points, to get started the network and the hardware components you listed (in different tests perhaps): - CPU - RAM - Storage IO To start of my idea would be to virtualize server with some resources, overwhelm it and see what it would it take to overwhelm a bit more resources. I am running Ubuntu 23.10. For the next stress test, I would be looking to overwhelm an app that's connected to a Postgres database, running in a docker container on the VM. I have endpoints that write and read from the db. Same thing again here, would try to break it down, give it a bit more resources and try again. Learn things along the way. Hope that makes sense, thanks for the breakdown
