The Phoronix Kernel Test Farm Is Alive
,----[ Quote ]
| The first step of that new endeavor is the
| Phoronix kernel test farm. As of this morning,
| the first system -- of hopefully many to come
| -- is online and operational. At least one
| more system should also go online this week in
| time for the Linux 2.6.33 merge window. These
| test systems are to automatically install the
| latest Linux kernel every morning (using the
| code from the Linus Git tree) and then they
| spend the day running benchmarks. With the set
| of tests currently being run, the testing
| process for each kernel every day runs for 13
| to 14 hours! There are more than 50 tests
| being run through the Phoronix Test Suite and
| they include multiple disk, ray-tracing,
| computational biology, server, compression,
| audio/video encoding, physics, cryptography,
| and tests representing many other areas of
| interest. Results are then uploaded to
| Phoromatic automatically from this Linux test
| farm (temporarily being built out of my living
| room, actually).

FreeBSD 8.0 Benchmarked Against Linux, OpenSolaris
,----[ Quote ]
| With the stable release of FreeBSD 8.0
| arriving last week we finally were able to
| put it up on the test bench and give it a
| thorough look over with the Phoronix Test
| Suite. We compared the FreeBSD 8.0
| performance between it and the earlier
| FreeBSD 7.2 release along with Fedora 12 and
| Ubuntu 9.10 on the Linux side and then the
| OpenSolaris 2010.02 b127 snapshot on the Sun
| OS side.
