Phoronix Test Suite

The Phoronix Test Suite is the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform available for the Linux operating system. This software is designed to effectively carry out both qualitative and quantitative benchmarks in a clean, reproducible, and easy-to-use manner. This software is based upon the extensive Linux benchmarking work and internal tools developed by Phoronix.com since 2004 along with input from leading tier-one computer hardware vendors. This software is open-source and licensed under the GNU GPLv3. The Phoronix Test Suite consists of a lightweight processing core (pts-core) with each benchmark consisting of an XML-based profile with related resource scripts. The process from the benchmark installation, to the actual benchmarking, to the parsing of important hardware and software components is heavily automated and completely repeatable, asking users only for confirmation of actions.

Phoronix Global allows you to browse all uploaded results, search these results, and compare other results against your own system.

Through an extensible module architecture, the capabilities of Phoronix Test Suite can be extended to support additional testing capabilities, provide tighter integration with proprietary system components, automate other tasks based upon actions generated by the Phoronix Test Suite, and endless other possibilites.
