Phoromatic Tracker Strides Forward
,----[ Quote ]
| Following in the success of the Phoronix
| Test Suite, last month we launched
| Phoromatic as a remote test management
| system targeted for enterprise users of the
| Phoronix Test Suite that allows the
| automatic scheduling of tests, remote
| installation of new tests, and the
| management of multiple test systems all
| through an intuitive, easy-to-use web
| interface.

Fedora 13 Alpha Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| We fired up the Phoronix Test Suite to run
| the LAME MP3 encoding, 7-Zip compression,
| LZMA compression, PostMark, Unpacking the
| Linux kernel, John The Ripper,
| GraphicsMagick, and the Bullet Physics
| Engine. As Fedora 13 still has a ways to go
| before its release and there are debugging
| options enabled within the alpha build as
| well as other development packages, its
| system performance now is not the same as it
| will be in May once it is officially
| released. With that said, we are publishing
| these graphs as-is for those interested in
| comparing Fedora 13 Alpha to the past
| releases or to Ubuntu 10.04.

Desktops and their performance
,----[ Quote ]
| Phoronix has used its Test Suite to compare the
| memory and power consumption of different
| desktop environments. However, the results
| should be handled with care.
|
| The "Power & Memory Usage" test was done to
| evaluate whether XFCE and LXDE consume less
| power and memory compared with their "big"
| siblings KDE and Gnome. The tests were done on
| a stock Ubuntu installation. At first glance
| the results suggest that KDE consumes much more
| power than the others. However, these results
| are misleading.

Linux 2.6.24 Through Linux 2.6.33 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| At Phoronix we have been benchmarking the
| Linux kernel on a daily basis using
| Phoromatic Tracker, a sub-component of
| Phoromatic and the Phoronix Test Suite. We
| launched our first system in the Linux kernel
| testing farm just prior to the Linux 2.6.33
| kernel development cycle and found a number
| of notable regressions during the past three
| months. Now with the Linux 2.6.34 kernel
| development cycle getting into swing, we have
| added an additional two systems to our daily
| kernel benchmarking farm. One of the systems
| is an Atom Z520 system but what makes it more
| interesting is that the system is using a
| Btrfs file-system and then the second new
| system added to the kernel tracker is a 64-
| bit setup. However, to provide a historical
| look at the Linux kernel performance, we have
| ran some fresh benchmarks going back to the
| Linux 2.6.24 kernel and ending with the
| recently released Linux 2.6.33 kernel.
