here is an older post regarding memory

for cpu you can simply use

until false; do :;done

of course you need 1 such "task" per cpu

you can also use rmss for "burning" ram

I have some that we use in the SHARE/Userblue lab for performance
sessions. How much memory do you need to burn? (one of them does 75M).
They will certainly take all the CPU you can give them. If you want
them, let me know and I will send them on to you.

Compile the attached program with:

        cc -q64 -o memory memory.c

and start it with './memory XX' where XX is the number of gigabytes
you want it to eat.
