Arbitrary cpu load on linux

https://www.devin.com/lookbusy/ Lookbusy is super awesome. It doesn't just take the CPU to 100% like other utilities.. Wtih AWS, especially t2.small instances, I want to play with the cpu around the credit burning limit and this tool allows me to do that so easily.  I'm not sure how the curve works yet, but I'm going to explore that next.     wget 'https://www.devin.com/lookbusy/download/lookbusy-1.4.tar.gz'     tar zxvf lookbusy-1.4.tar.gz     ./configure     make     ./lookbusy --cpu-uti=45-55 --cpu-mode=curve     ./lookbusy --cpu-uti=15-25 --cpu-mode=curve  # t2.small     ./lookbusy --cpu-uti=19
