sysbench: Run a CPU benchmark with multiple threads for a specified time.
$ sysbench --threads=${number_of_threads} --time=${seconds}
try on your machine

The command "sysbench --threads=${number_of_threads} --time=${seconds}" is used to run the sysbench benchmark tool with a specified number of threads and for a specified duration.

  • "sysbench" refers to the benchmark tool itself.
  • "--threads=${number_of_threads}" specifies the number of threads to be used for the benchmark. The placeholder "${number_of_threads}" needs to be replaced with the actual number of threads you want to use.
  • "--time=${seconds}" sets the duration of the benchmark in seconds. The placeholder "${seconds}" needs to be replaced with the desired duration in seconds.

By running this command, sysbench will simulate multiple concurrent threads performing different operations, such as running CPU-intensive tasks, performing database queries, or executing file I/O operations. The number of threads determines the level of concurrency, and the duration sets how long the benchmark will run.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
