This app was originally created by @jpetazzo for container.training and further developed by @antweiss for additional use cases.

Routes:

• /cpu
    Simulates CPU load for 1 second.
  

• /cpu/<int:seconds>
    Simulates CPU load for a specified number of seconds using multiprocessing.
  

• /memory/<int:mb>
    Allocates a specified number of megabytes of memory and holds it for 1 second.
  

• /memfree/<int:mb>
    Releases a specified number of megabytes of memory if available.
  

• /memory
    Allocates 1 megabyte of memory and holds it for 1 second.
  

• /memfree
    Releases 1 megabyte of memory if available.
  

Classes:

• memBuf
    A class that contains a static buffer list used to simulate memory allocation.
