I've recently been using stress-ng to exercise various kernels on a range of hardware and it has been useful in forcing bugs, especially with the memory specific stressors that seem to trip low memory corner cases.
stress-ng 0.04.01 will be soon available in Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf. Visit the stress-ng project page for more details.
