Start parameters

HeavyLoad can be called with the following parameters via script or command line.

 

/START

Starts the test run with the specified test options.

/CPU <n>

Enables the test option "Stress CPU". Optionally n allows to set the number of used CPU cores for the stress CPU test. The maximum value is specified by your system.

/MEMORY <n>

Enables the test option "Allocate memory". Optionally n allows to set the threshold value of available memory in MB.

/FILE <n>

Enables the test option "Write temp file". Optionally n allows to set the threshold value of available disc space in MB.

/TESTFILEPATH <"\path">

Sets the path the temp file will be written to. This parameter can only be used in combination with the /FILE parameter.

/TREESIZE

Enables the test option: Start TreeSize.

/GPU

Enables the test option: Stress GPU.

/DURATION <n>

Specifies the test duration in minutes. If this parameter is not set, the test will run continuously. Defining of n is not optional!

/AUTOEXIT

Terminates the program automatically after the period n received from /DURATION. This parameter can only be used in combination of the /DURATION n Parameter.

/NOGUI

Starts HeavyLoad without user interface. HeavyLoad will only start if the parameter /START and at least one test method is specified. If no maximum runtime is specified, HeavyLoad will run until the program has been terminated manually via the task manager.  

Example:

HeavyLoad.exe /CPU 2 /MEMORY 200 /FILE 150 /TESTFILEPATH "D:\Users\exampleuser\AppData\Local\Temp\Test1" /GPU /TREESIZE /DURATION 10 /AUTOEXIT /START
