sjaglin Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, I came across this article and wondered if anyone has managed to usethis benchmark with Mandriva. http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/index.php?k=downloads Also, if you use benchmarking, what is the latest in Linux systems for all round benchmarking of a system?

sjaglin Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi, To reply to my own query, yes the Phoronix test suite which has been released does work and is in fact quite promessing in terms of a complete benchmark for Linux systems. http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ After downloading the compressed basic file from their website, extract it somewhere. To run the program the only dependency to install is PHP5 CLI (urpmi php-cli). Then here is the number of tests and suite of tests available : [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]# ./phoronix-test-suite list-tests ================================= Phoronix Test Suite - Benchmarks ================================= build-imagemagick - ImageMagick Compilation [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] build-linux-kernel - Timed Linux Kernel Compilation [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] build-mplayer - Timed MPlayer Compilation [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] build-php - Timed PHP Compilation [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] compress-gzip - Time Gzip Compression [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] doom3-demo - Doom 3 (Demo) [Status: UNKNOWN, License: NON-FREE] doom3 - Doom 3 [Status: UNKNOWN, License: NON-FREE] encode-flac - FLAC Audio Encoding [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] encode-mp3 - LAME MP3 Encoding [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] encode-ogg - Ogg Encoding [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] etqw-demo - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars [Status: UNKNOWN, License: NON-FREE] etqw - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars [Status: UNKNOWN, License: NON-FREE] fgl-glxgears - ATI fgl_glxgears [Status: VERIFIED, License: CLOSED] hdparm-read - hdparm Timed Disk Reads [Status: UNVERIFIED, License: FREE] memory-bandwidth - Bandwidth [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] nexuiz - Nexuiz [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] quake4 - Quake 4 [Status: UNKNOWN, License: NON-FREE] ramspeed - RAMspeed [Status: VERIFIED, License: FREE] super-pi - Super PI [Status: VERIFIED, License: UNKNOWN] [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]# ./phoronix-test-suite list-suites ================================= Phoronix Test Suite - Suites ================================= - Audio Encoding Test Suite (audio-encoding) - Timed Code Compilation Tests (compilation) - Phoronix Test Suite For Gaming (gaming) - Phoronix Test Suite For Graphics (graphics) - Motherboard Tests (motherboard) - Recursion Test Of Audio Encoding (recursion-test) - System Memory Test Suite (system-memory) - Universe Test Suite (universe) The options when running the software are as follow : \n================================= Phoronix Test Suite http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ =================================\n install <suite OR benchmark>: Install or Update The Specified Benchmark(s) run <suite OR benchmark>: Run The Specified Benchmark/Suite benchmark <suite OR benchmark OR saved file>: Same as manually running install and then run merge-results <Saved File 1 OR Global ID> <Saved File 2 OR Global ID> <Save To>: Merge two saved result sets remove-result <Saved File>: Remove this saved result file and associated files list-tests: List all Phoronix Test Suite Benchmark profiles list-suites: List all Phoronix Test Suites list-saved-results: List all saved results upload <Saved File>: Upload these results to be shared globally build-php: Build A Local Copy Of PHP For The Phoronix Test Suite \n For example, to install the suite for mp3 encoding : [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]# ./phoronix-test-suite [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]# ./phoronix-test-suite run encode-mp3 Would you like to save these benchmark results (Y/n)?

Guest kozaki Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Phoronix is a great benchmark suite. And it has a GUI (available on Mandriva since 2009.0) that even has a nice icon ;) Find pretty cool to compare my Linux box with a bunch of other hardware/distros/users :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I see the Phoronix test suite in Software Managment, but when I try to install it, I just get the following error message: I'm using Mandriva 2009.1 KDE PWP, BTW. Sorry, the following package cannot be selected: - phoronix-test-suite-1.8.1-1mdv2009.1.noarch :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadora Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Got it installed right away, along with about 200Mb other items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I downloaded the RPM and chose to install that. I got the following error message: Some requested packages cannot be installed: glibc-devel-2.9-0.20081113.5mnb2.i586 (due to unsatisfied kernel-headers) At least now I know what the problem is.

David Batson Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Got it installed. After installing the kernel headers and a couple of dependencies, I was able to install the Phoronix Test Suite (206 deps). After it was installed, I found it in the kmenu under Tools > System Tools. I opened the app and found that I still had to install any tests that I wanted to run. I installed one test from within the app and ran it. So far, so good.
