“The tests included LAME MP3 encoding, 7-Zip
Compression, Gzip compression, GnuPG, BYTE Unix Benchmark, Tandem
XML, Bork File Encryption, Java SciMark, Bonnie++, OpenSSL, and
Sunflow Rendering System. The Phoronix Test Suite, which is our
advanced GPLv3 testing software that is compatible with Linux, BSD,
OpenSolaris, and Mac OS X platforms, powered all of these tests.
While the Phoronix Test Suite does offer graphics tests that are
compatible with these three operating systems, we hadn’t conducted
any due to ATI’s binary graphics driver only supporting Linux and
the open-source ATI graphics drivers not yet enabling OpenGL
support on the graphics card we were using (and there being a
FireGL V8600 bug in the DDX driver), thereby limiting us to the
VESA driver in these non-graphics tests. The Tydal 1.6 Alpha 1
release of our test suite was used due to improvements in the
FreeBSD support.”
