Phoronix Test Suite

If you're looking for a comprehensive benchmarking and testing platform for Linux, you might just want to try the Phoronix Test Suite. Designed to deliver both qualitative and quantitative benchmarks, this software is both clean and reproducible, and comes easy to use.

The software is based on internal tools and extensive benchmarking work performed with input from tier-one hardware vendors since 2004. It is an open-source software, licensed under GNU GPLv3, and consists of a lightweight core (pts-core) and XML-based profiles and utility scripts for each benchmark. The software is heavily automated, ensuring that the benchmark process is entirely repeatable and asking users only for confirmation of actions.

Users can use the Phoronix Test Suite to compare their computer's performance with their friends and colleagues or use it for internal quality assurance purposes. The results from the Phoronix Test Suite are displayed in a results viewer with optional support for uploading them to PTS Global, which allows you to browse all uploaded results and compare other results against your own system.

One thing that makes the Phoronix Test Suite stand out is that it requires only a few dependencies on Linux systems. You only need PHP5 CLI and PHP GD module, so you don't need a web server or any other packages commonly associated with PHP. Overall, the Phoronix Test Suite is a must-try for anyone looking to benchmark their Linux systems.
