Just one thing to note, running stress-ng as root with all the stressors is a pathological test scenario. The manual does state:

       Running stress-ng with root privileges will adjust out of memory set‐
       tings on Linux systems to make the stressors unkillable in low memory
       situations, so use this judiciously. With the appropriate privilege,
       stress-ng can allow the ionice class and ionice levels to be adjusted,
       again, this should be used with care.
