Phoronix Test Suite (PTS) is a free and open-source benchmark software for Linux and other operating systems which are developed by Michael Larabel and Matthew Tippett. The Phoronix Test Suite has been endorsed by sites such as Linux.com,[2] LinuxPlanet,[3] and Softpedia.[4]
Features
- Supports over 220 test profiles and over 60 test suites;
- Uses an XML-based testing architecture. Tests include MEncoder, FFmpeg and lm sensors along with OpenGL games such as Doom 3, Nexuiz, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and many more.[5]
- Contains a feature called PTS Global where users are able to upload their test results and system information for sharing. Then through executing a single command, other users can compare their test results to a selected system in an easy-comparison mode;[6]
- Allows report benchmark results to the Phoronix Global online database;
- Allows to compare results side-by-side;
- Is extensible and new tests can be added easily;
- Can do anonymous usage reporting;
- Can do automated Git bisecting on a performance basis to find performance regressions. It 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 is a technology website that offers insights regarding 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 5 June 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 around the start of 2005, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE,[16] and Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird).[17] Phoronix heavily focuses on benchmarking hardware running Linux, with a heavy slant towards 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 in addition to news content.[18] On 20 April 2007, Phoronix redesigned its website,[19] and began Solaris hardware reviews and news in addition to Linux content.[20]
Phoronix benchmarks have been cited by a number of other technical publications, such as CNET News.[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, especially in the context of Linux-based systems (unlike SoapUI which is used for testing web services.[24]
Release history
On 5 June 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 3 September 2008, Phoronix Test Suite 1.2 was released with support for the OpenSolaris operating system[27] and a module framework accompanied by tests focusing upon new areas,[28] and many 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.
