I've searched the net and came across the Ubuntu wiki saying
stress-ng --matrix 0
is supposed the best. But there are dedicated stressors for CPU and RAM (looking at man).
Any ideas which one is the best to use? Thank you
You can install stress
with:
sudo apt install stress
Then call it with:
stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 1024M --timeout 10s
On my conky display notice how:
Type stress --help
for a full list of options.
A commentator requested posting the entire conky script which I did here: conky transparent
$ apt list stress Listing... Done stress/xenial,now 1.0.4-1 amd64 [installed]
I just don't remember installing it I guess. I'll revise the answer.

conky
it's a light weight system monitor that is highly configurable and very popular in Linux world. You can google conky
for more information. You can also search here in Ask Ubuntu and in Ubuntu Forums.
