A Christmas Update Of Phoronix Test Suite 3.6
Posted by Michael Larabel on December 23, 2011
A point release of Phoronix Test Suite 3.6-Arendal is now available for those interested in open-source benchmarking / performance validation on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Solaris, and BSD platforms.
Phoronix Test Suite 3.6.0 was released two weeks ago while coming out today is just a minor update that incorporates a few fixes and small improvements. This update isn't particularly exciting and was thinking of even not putting it out and holding off on the changes until Phoronix Test Suite 3.8-Bygland in Q1'2012, but in the end they were pushed out today.
The Phoronix Test Suite 3.6.1 release introduces a few small fixes in pts-core, brings support for launching the PTS Results Viewer within the IceWeasel (Firefox-rebranded) web browser, and some Phodevi updates.
The updates to Phodevi (Phoronix Device Interface) include support for better Intel graphics processor name deciphering for certain generations of hardware, support for reading more motherboard information on *BSD platforms using kenv, fbdev DDX driver detection, detection support of OLPC's Sugar Desktop Environment, and external dependencies support for the Fedora-based OLPC OS as used on the forthcoming OLPC XO-1.75.
A few ARM improvements are being queued up for the Phoronix Test Suite and its OpenBenchmarking.org test profiles as more testing gets under-way on the OLPC XO-1.75 along with the OMAP4-based PandaBoard ES.
This weekend I also have a number of improvements expected to be merged for Phoronix Test Suite 3.8-Bygland and OpenBenchmarking.org, so stay tuned for some Christmas updates.
