Phoronix Test Suite (PTS) is a free and open-source benchmark software for Linux and other operating systems. The Phoronix Test Suite, developed by Michael Larabel and Matthew Tippett, has been endorsed by sites such as Linux.com,[1] LinuxPlanet,[2] and Softpedia.[3]

Features

Phoronix Test Suite supports over 220 test profiles and over 60 test suites. It uses an XML-based testing architecture. Tests available to use include MEncoder, FFmpeg and lm sensors, along with OpenGL games such as Doom 3, Nexuiz, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and many more.[4] The suite also contains a feature called PTS Global where users may upload their test results and system information for sharing. By executing a single command, other users can compare their test results to a selected system in an easy-comparison mode.[5] Before 2014, these benchmark results could be uploaded to the Phoronix Global online database, but since 2013, these benchmark results can be uploaded to openbenchmarking.org.[6] Phoronix supports automated Git bisecting on a performance basis to find performance regressions, and features statistical significance verification.

Components

Phoromatic

Phoromatic is a web-based remote test management system for the Phoronix Test Suite. It allows the automatic scheduling of tests. It's aimed at the enterprise. It can manage multiple test nodes simultaneously within a test farm or distributed environment.

Phoromatic Tracker

Phoromatic Tracker is an extension of Phoromatic that provides a public interface into test farms.[7] Currently, their reference implementations autonomously monitor the performance of the Linux kernel on a daily basis,[8] Fedora Rawhide,[9] and Ubuntu.[10]

PTS Desktop Live

PTS Desktop Live was a stripped-down x86-64 Linux distribution, which included Phoronix Test Suite 2.4. It was designed for testing/benchmarking computers from a LiveDVD / LiveUSB environment.[11]

Phodevi

Phodevi (Phoronix Device Interface) is a library that provides a clean, stable, platform-independent API for accessing software and hardware information.[12]

PCQS

Phoronix Certification & Qualification Suite (PCQS) is a reference specification for the Phoronix Test Suite.

Phoronix website

Phoronix is a technology website that offers information on the development of the Linux kernel, product reviews, interviews, and news regarding free and open-source software by monitoring the Linux kernel mailing list or interviews.

Phoronix was started in June 2004 by Michael Larabel, who currently serves as the owner and editor-in-chief.

History

Founded on June 5, 2004,[13] Phoronix started as a website with a handful of hardware reviews and guides,[14][15] moving to articles covering operating systems based on Linux and open-source software such as Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE,[16] and Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird) around the start of 2005.[17] Phoronix focuses on benchmarking hardware running Linux, with a slant toward graphics articles that monitor and compare free and open-source graphics device drivers and Mesa 3D with AMD's and Nvidia's proprietary graphics device drivers. In June 2006, the website added forums to accompany news content.[18] On April 20, 2007, Phoronix redesigned its website and began publishing Solaris hardware reviews and news in addition to Linux content.[19][20]

Other technical publications, such as CNET News, have cited Phoronix benchmarks.[21][22]

Open Benchmarking

OpenBenchmarking.org is a web-based service created to work with the Phoronix Test Suite. It is a collaborative platform that allows users to share their hardware and software benchmarks through an organized online interface.[23]

It is primarily used for performance benchmarking and testing hardware/software performance, typically in the context of Linux-based systems (unlike SoapUI, which is used for testing web services).[24]

Release history

On June 5, 2008, Phoronix Test Suite 1.0 was released under the codename Trondheim.[25] This 1.0 release was made up of 57 test profiles and 23 test suites.[26]

On September 3, 2008, Phoronix Test Suite 1.2 was released with support for the OpenSolaris operating system,[27] a module framework accompanied by tests focusing upon new areas,[28] and new test profiles.

Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 includes a graphical user interface (GUI) using GTK+ written using the PHP-GTK bindings.

3.4 includes MATISK benchmarking module and initial support for the GNU Hurd.
