“In this article we have detailed some of the major
highlights of Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 and how we seek to drive
innovation into PC benchmarking and performance profiling.“Phoronix Test Suite 1.0 was released last June and was based
upon the internal work that had built up for the past five years at
Phoronix Media and with the involvement of several tier-one
hardware vendors. Since the release of 1.0 Trondheim we have
delivered quarterly updates to continue enhancing this software as
well as to deliver new and updated test profiles. Many major
companies have also started using the Phoronix Test Suite for
various quality assurance and testing tasks within their
organizations. The Phoronix Test Suite has come a long way, but
with the release of Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 we hope to take it to
the next level. Version 2.0 of the Phoronix Test Suite offers more
than 100 distinct test profiles, over 60 run-time options, and an
entire architecture for which independent users and organizations
are able to build their own test profiles and suites to customize
this software to their needs.”
