CPU Options

Used logical processors

Allows to set the number of used logical processors for the CPU stress test if the system has more than one. The default number is set to the maximum amount of available processors (physical and virtual cores) on your system.

Thread Options

Thread priority

Allows to define the priority at which the threads are running. This can be used to precisely control the system utilization of HeavyLoad. "Idle" means the CPU will only be used if no other threads are using it. Choosing a higher priority will result in the stress threads having a higher priority than the thread of the user interface, which may result in the user interface being unresponsive during the tests.
