hi,

to check out how many simultaneous visitors our new server may manage, i
like to develop a server stress tool. my idea was to simulate the visitors
via threads. so each visitor is a thread.

the threads should looks like this pseudo code:

void __fastcall TMyThread::Execute()
{
   while(!Terminated)
   {
      open the website
      sleep(10000)
   }
}

so each visitor oben the website every 10 seconds. i would use nmhttp to
open the website.

problem is, that i like to run our site from 1 - 5000 simultaneous visitors.
at this reason, the use of threads wouldn't be a good solution, because i
think i cannot run 5000 threads on my system without any problems.

how would you create a server stress tool. is there any better way then
threads? please give me some ideas

thanks Mark

hi Mark,

just a idea...what about:

double factorial(double n)
{
   if (n <= 1) return(1); else {return(n * factorial(n - 1));}
}

call it now with: 99999999999

this is what i do, if i want to stress my laptop (for power reasons),
the processor makes here a *hard* work :-)
