  • The following steps will be performed:

    • Launch calc with a custom timer

    • Navigate to Scientific view

    • Perform calculation: 0.1 n! (factorial), repeating the n! function for the defined amount in global vars

      • This will stress CPU

      • On the machine used to create the workload was about ~8% usage

    • Close calc
