I'm working on a high-end embedded system that uses multiple 745x cpus
and I'm stress-testing the cooling system. After running some of the
popular 'scientific' applications (set@home, distributed.net, etc) I
have noticed that the system seems to throw off the most heat when all
CPUs are idle.

Does anyone have a favorite application or code sequence to make some
1ghz CPUs dissipate the most heat? Thanks.
