CoreRipperX README

Overview

CoreRipperX is a small CPU stress-testing tool designed to evaluate the performance and stability of individual CPU cores by leveraging AVX2 operations. The tool sequentially puts heavy computational loads on each core for a specified time period, switching thread affinity to the next core after each interval until all cores have been tested.

Features

• AVX2 Operation Load: Utilizes AVX2 instructions to impose a significant workload on each CPU core.
• Core Cycling: Automatically cycles through all CPU cores, ensuring each core is tested.
• Configurable Time Period: Allows users to specify the duration of the load on each core.

Requirements

• Operating System: Windows, Linux, or macOS
• CPU: Processor with AVX2 support
• .NET 8: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

Installation

1. Download: Obtain the latest release from the [CoreRipperX GitHub repository].
2. Extract: Unzip the downloaded file to your desired location.

Usage

1. Command Line Execution: Open a terminal or command prompt in the directory containing the CoreRipperX executable.
2. Run the Tool: Use the following command format to start the tool:

   ./CoreRipperX <time_period_in_sceconds>

Example

To run CoreRipperX with a time period of 30 seconds per core:

./CoreRipperX 30

Notes

• Ensure all important work is saved before running CoreRipperX as it will place significant load on your CPU.
• The tool may cause the system to become unresponsive during operation, especially on systems with fewer cores.
