Benchmarking on Fedora is as easy as running
yum install phoronix-test-suite and then running
phoronix-test-suite benchmark favorites (or another test/suite), it's really that easy! Pushed into
Fedora 11 and as an update to
Fedora 9 and
Fedora 10 is the
Phoronix Test Suite.
The Phoronix Test Suite is our GPLv3 software for running automated tests on Linux, OpenSolaris, MacOS X, and BSD operating systems. The Phoronix Test Suite ships with over 90 test profiles and 30 test suites and new test profiles can be easily added through our framework. The Phoronix Test Suite has already
appeared in Ubuntu's repositories, Mandriva, and other distributions too. Packaged in Fedora is the latest
Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 release.

If you have any questions about the Phoronix Test Suite, stop by
our forum. We have also begun sharing
our plans for Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, which has been codenamed
Sandtorg.
