Run CPU Load Generator on PC or Mac

Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use CPU Load Generator, made by Salt, a Tools app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.

About the App

CPU Load Generator is a straight-to-the-point Tools app from Salt for anyone who wants to push a device’s processor on purpose. It spins up background workers that crunch random data using SHA-1, creating a consistent, repeatable CPU load you can dial up or down. Great for quick stress tests, thermal checks, or seeing how your phone handles heavy work—just use it thoughtfully.

App Features

  • Adjustable CPU pressure: Choose how many workers to run so you can lightly nudge the CPU or max it out for a proper stress test.
  • Core-aware scaling: Try matching the number of workers to your CPU core count to see how your device behaves under “full core” pressure.
  • Hash-powered workload: Uses continuous SHA-1 hashing on randomly generated data to create a stable, pure CPU workload without extra fluff.
  • One-tap control: Add or reduce workers with simple controls—no complicated setup or tuning needed.
  • Practical for testing: Handy for quick benchmarks, reproducing performance hiccups, observing throttling, or testing thermal behavior in a controlled way.
  • Handle with care: High, sustained load can heat up your device, drain the battery fast, or trigger throttling and shutdowns. Start low, monitor your device, and stop when you’re done.
  • Desktop-friendly option: Prefer to run it on your computer? You can also try CPU Load Generator through BlueStacks for testing on a bigger screen and different hardware.
