IBM mainframe emulator. It will happily use every processor you can throw at
it. It can emulate multiprocessor systems, and each emulated processor is a
thread...and there are three overhead threads for different kinds of
maintenance tasks...and it will use multiple threads for overlapped I/O. (By
default, it keeps an unused I/O thread around for 5 minutes to handle more
requests, but it can be configured to launch a new thread for every I/O).

I've run it on an 8-way Proliant 8500 before and kept all 8 CPUs busy.
