You mean something like this which uses up all of the available cpu time
- - All of it?  :-)

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>


/* Burn as much cpu time as possible.
   Compile with
   g++ -O2 -Wall -o foo foo.cpp
 */


int main(int a, char* b[])
{
    double foo(0.0);
    double bar(0.0);

    while(true)
    {

        foo = drand48();
        /* Just generating a ramdom number might not be enough
           because the compiler could figure out that the result
           is never used and optimise the call away.
         */
        bar = tan(foo);
        bar /= M_PI_2;
    };

    /* Placate the compiler.  This never returns.  Stop with CTRL-C. */
    return 0;
}
