Are there any interesting workloads to stress test GPUs?

Question

Sometimes I have to stress test GPUs. I usually run gpu-burn, but this just wastes cycles and generates heat for 24 hours. It would be cooler to run something which produces meaningful output.(I think) I cannot run any training because the test might be interrupted any second. And even checkpoints won't help because I won't always have the option to resume the training on another machine -- another machine might have different model of GPUs or different amount of them.I tried generating thousands of images of cats in hats with sdxl but it quickly becomes boring.If only there was a simple way to e.g. generate images and have a step that automatically judges them so that I could have a result of a several uniquely beautiful images. Or if I could generate songs lyrics and have a step which checks how well they rhyme.How would you stress test a GPU so that it produces some interesting artifacts as a side effect?

Host an llm runner for the AI horde.I would suggest Aphrodite, which is faster and loads it down better, but you can also run Kobold.cpp which is much easier to set up.

How about using the GPU to render something? Blender lets you render stuff with the GPU right?
