Honest note: firmware-level memtest86 tests physical memory below the OS and remains the gold standard for deep RAM diagnostics. SERVER GATE runs the same classic algorithms from userspace — in the Live ISO nearly all physical RAM is available to the test — and adds everything around it: CPU burn-in, monitoring, reporting.

Feature list

• 7 CPU stress tests — all-core transcendental math (multiprocess), ZIP archiving (CPU+I/O), deep Fibonacci recursion, SHA-512 hashing, BZip2 compression, Sieve of Eratosthenes, Mandelbrot FPU torture. Sequential or all-at-once "extreme" mode, duration presets 30 s … 3 h, configurable rounds.
• 12 memtest86-style RAM tests — own address, walking ones/zeros, moving inversions (1/0 · 8-bit · random), checkerboard, solid bits, block move, modulo-20, pseudo-random compare, bit-fade retention. Live error counter, MB/s throughput, configurable buffer and passes.
• Multi-socket detection — dual/quad-CPU servers shown as Intel Xeon Gold 6254 ×2 with per-package cores/threads/frequency.
• System configuration tab — platform, motherboard, BIOS/UEFI + boot mode, every RAM module (size · type · speed · vendor · part number), drives, GPUs, network.
• One-screen report — verdict, summary tiles, all tests with metrics; fits a single screenshot for the client. Detailed per-round log exports to .txt.
• Bootable Live ISO — Ventoy-ready, BIOS + UEFI, Secure Boot friendly, GUI starts fullscreen automatically.

🚀 Quick start

Windows (portable)

⬇ Download ServerGate_StressTest_GUI.exe — single file, no installation. Windows 10/11 x64.

Run from source (Windows / Linux)

git clone https://github.com/xauskis/servergate-stress-test.git
cd servergate-stress-test
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app/main.py

🖥 Bootable ISO for servers (via Ventoy)

The ISO is ~3.3 GB (over GitHub's release limit), so you build it yourself — one command, ~20 minutes, on any Debian/Ubuntu machine (WSL2 works):

cd iso
sudo ./build_iso.sh          # → build/servergate.iso  (BIOS + UEFI, isohybrid)

Drop servergate.iso onto your Ventoy stick, boot the server (HPE ProLiant: F11 boot menu), pick the ISO — the GUI opens fullscreen automatically and nearly all physical RAM is available to the memory test.

❓ FAQ

Does the ISO work with Secure Boot?

Yes. The remaster keeps Debian's signed shim/GRUB/kernel chain untouched — only the userland squashfs is modified. No BIOS settings need to be changed.

Ventoy shows the ISO but it doesn't boot?

Rare, but if it happens press F6 in Ventoy and try another boot mode (grub2 / normal). The image is also a valid raw USB image — you can write it directly with Rufus/dd.

Live system credentials?

Standard Debian Live: user user, password live, passwordless sudo. Login is automatic.

How do I save the report from the Live ISO?

Plug in a second USB stick — it mounts automatically in the live session — and save the .txt report there.

Is the GUI available in English?

The UI is currently Russian (built for RU server-service workflows). PRs adding i18n are very welcome.

🇷🇺 Кратко по-русски

SERVER GATE Stress Test — открытый инструмент прожига серверов и ПК: 7 CPU-тестов, 12 тестов ОЗУ в стиле memtest86, определение многопроцессорных конфигураций (×2/×4), паспорт системы как в AIDA и отчёт в одно окно — клиент видит результат на одном скриншоте. Portable-exe для Windows — в Releases; загрузочный ISO для Ventoy собирается одной командой sudo ./iso/build_iso.sh. Лицензия MIT — можно свободно использовать в коммерческом сервисе.
