Robert Leinardi is the hands behind this app and is proving to be a rather prolific developer of useful power-user Linux utilities, with his previous efforts including the terrific NVIDIA GPU overclocking tool GreenWithEnvy. Putting aside the stress testing nature of the app it can also double up as a semi-decent system info tool (like CPU-Z) thanks to the wealth of information it shows. With the CLI stress-ng tool at the heart of GST meaning you can effortlessly drop to a terminal if you want, just run the app with the -debug parameter to do so. Hardware monitor (info provided by sys/class/hwmon).View CPU’s physical’s core clock (current, min, max).Monitor CPU usage (core %, user %, load avg, etc).View Motherboard information (including BIOS version).A small benchmark feature is also included, though the developer stresses (ho, ho) that this is ‘nothing too serious’.
