    Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 1.2.0 Beta 1

    Two months after shipping Phoronix Test Suite 1.0, we're announcing the first beta release for Phoronix Test Suite 1.2. This release incorporates many changes and new features, in fact too many to go over in a single article...

    Phoronix, Linux Hardware Reviews, Linux hardware benchmarks, Linux server benchmarks, Linux benchmarking, Desktop Linux, Linux performance, Open Source graphics, Linux How To, Ubuntu benchmarks, Ubuntu hardware, Phoronix Test Suite

      Nice work Michael (and others), this is an impressive change-log.

      I found a small fix again

      This time regarding to monitoring voltages.
      File: system_monitor.php
      Code:
      if(in_array("v3.voltage", $to_show) || $monitor_voltage)
      		{
      			define("MONITOR_V3_VOLTAGE", 1);
      			pts_module::save_file(".s/BATTERY_POWER");
      		}
      should be

      Code:
      if(in_array("v3.voltage", $to_show) || $monitor_voltage)
      		{
      			define("MONITOR_V3_VOLTAGE", 1);
      			pts_module::save_file(".s/V3_VOLTAGE");
      		}
      in order to work probably.

      My ideas for a future release:

      when viewing results for monitoring in a web browser, maybe

      * add a legend for MIN/MAX/AVERAGE values

      * put something like "Elapsed Time: x min/hrs" under the diagram

      and some hints for other users setting up their sensors3.conf:
      (works with version 1.0.5 and 1.2.0b1)

      set your labels for
      * +3.33V to "V3.3"
      * +5.00V to "V5"
      * +12.00V to "V12"
      and the corresponding labels for temperatures to
      * "CPU Temp"
      * "Board Temp"

      whether it works or not, you can check easyly with

      Code:
      phoronix-test-suite sensors
      (ver. 1.0.5)

      for version 1.2.0b1 this was dropped, seems the docs need some small updates, too.

                }

        Thanks, should be fixed in git.

        Thanks for the feedback, I may incorporate some of this into the next beta.

        Where isn't this reflected in the docs? I thought I had updated them all.

          The corresponding passage is:
          The full list of supported sensor options can be found by running phoronix-test-suite module-info system_monitor. The sensors actually detected on the current system and their values can be read by running phoronix-test-suite sensors.
          (from sensor_monitoring.html in the .deb (1.2.0b1)

          Code:
          phoronix-test-suite sensors
          
          This option was dropped from the Phoronix Test Suite. For more information and the replacement option, view the latest documentation.
          so is there a new command, to check which / whether sensors are detected ?

            Oops, I'll get that corrected.

            Regarding a new command, I have an idea for one that just came to mind... Will probably write it up tonight. I am thinking it will be:

            phoronix-test-suite test-module system_monitor

              With git, use debug-module:

              $ MONITOR=all ./phoronix-test-suite debug-module system_monitor

              ====================================
              Starting Module Test Process
              ====================================

              Calling: __startup()
              Calling: __pre_install_process()
              Calling: __pre_test_install()
              Calling: __post_test_install()
              Calling: __post_install_process()
              Calling: __pre_run_process()
              Calling: __pre_test_run()
              Calling: __interim_test_run()
              Calling: __post_test_run()
              Calling: __post_run_process()
              Calling: __shutdown()

              CPU Thermal Monitor: 49 ?C
              System Thermal Monitor: 39 ?C
              CPU Frequency Monitor: 2501.00 MHz

              CPU Usage Monitor: 15.60 Percent
              ====================================
              Or to have a bit less output, use test-module:

              $ MONITOR=all ./phoronix-test-suite test-module system_monitor

              ====================================
              Starting Module Test Process
              ====================================


              ====================================
              Current Sensor Readings:

              GPU Thermal Monitor: 58 ?C
              CPU Thermal Monitor: 51 ?C
              System Thermal Monitor: 41 ?C
              CPU Frequency Monitor: 2501.00 MHz
              GPU Frequency Monitor: 400 MHz
              CPU Usage Monitor: 9.22 Percent
              ====================================
              This also provides a way for developers to test modules

                While monitoring sensors works fine, at least for me, i couldn't pass the compliance-sensors test. So i looked up the corresponding scripts and found some inconsistences.

                for monitoring temperatures and voltages we use:
                File: pts-functions_system.php

                Code:
                function system_line_voltage($type)
                {
                    if($type == "CPU")
                        $voltage = read_sensors("VCore");
                    else if($type == "V3")
                        $voltage = read_sensors("V3.3");
                    else if($type == "V5")
                        $voltage = read_sensors("V5");
                    else if($type == "V12")
                        $voltage = read_sensors("V12");
                    ...
                    ...
                and
                Code:
                function system_temperature()
                {
                    $temp_c = read_sensors("Sys Temp");
                
                    if(empty($temp_c))
                        $temp_c = read_sensors("Board Temp");
                    ...
                    ...
                when running
                Code:
                 phoronix-test-suite run compliance-sensors
                we check against different strings:
                File: sensors-check
                Code:
                array_push($sensors, read_sensors("VCore"));
                array_push($sensors, read_sensors("+3.3V"));
                array_push($sensors, read_sensors("+5V"));
                array_push($sensors, read_sensors("+12V"));
                and

                Code:
                $sys_temp = read_sensors("Sys Temp");
                if(empty($sys_temp))
                	$sys_temp = read_sensors("temp2");
                array_push($sensors, $sys_temp);
                So strings for voltages are different and a check to include "Board Temp" is missing.
