Back in early February we announced that we were in the
process of formalizing and releasing our internal test tools as a
platform for facilitating easy to use, accurate, and reproducible Linux
benchmarks based upon the testing work that we have been doing at
Phoronix for the past four years. The goals with this are really to make
it easier for Linux end-users to run reliable (both qualitative and
quantitative) benchmarks for their own personal use, push more
open-source projects to making their software more testable, and pushing
hardware and software vendors for greater Linux testing based upon a
standardized set of tests. Today we are very pleased to announce the
first public release of the Phoronix Test Suite software, which is
licensed under the GNU GPLv3, and the creation of a public database for
freely sharing your test results and other information in a
collaborative manner.
