+      Stress test a computer system in various selectable ways, by exercising
+      various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various
+      operating system kernel interfaces. Stress-ng features:
+      - over 60 different stress tests
+      - over 50 CPU specific stress tests that exercise floating point,
+        integer, bit manipulation and control flow
+      - over 20 virtual memory stress tests
+      stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip
+      hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system
+      bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard.
