The primary purpose of PLCPU is to put a load on each CPU in a system,
particularly SMP configurations. PLCPU does not attempt to verify
full functionality of a processor, but does provide an indication of
general performance. The recommendation is to limit the thread
count equal to the physical number of CPUs in the system. In a single
processor configuration, the typical reason to use PLCPU is to generate
a load to examine processor thermal sensors or to simulate 100% CPU
load.
