I am attempting to stress a server as much as I can before it goes into production. Im using Jmeter and have been able to add a little more stress by modifying scripts.  Ive also modified JVM options but still not enough.  What are some of the best ways to increase server load?  
How to increase server load?

Several ways to do that. You can simply use dd, like :  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nullOr there are other tools like stress :  stress --cpu 2 --timeout 60The above will stress two cores for 60 seconds.Or you can also use an endless while loop :while true; do true; doneAnother possibility is this fork bomb - careful with this as it might even crash your computer :  :(){ :|:& };:There are many other possibilities.
