Extensive Opensource ATI vs closed source and ATI vs Nvidia benchmarks on a monthly/bi-monthly basis .

As mobile Linux based platforms continue to rise sharply in popularity, I think it would be really useful to benchmark mobile OS-es like Maemo (MeeGo), Android, WebOS and maybe others.

Selinux
I don't think your test suite includes tools to pin test a SELINUX installation. But that would be a nice test to see if all the hype lives up to an actual reputable authority on well testing.

Please test the validity of the statement that compiling your kernel for your architecture does improve performance. My whole family can see the difference. But the majority can't seem to notice it or they aren't admitting to it.
Also test with High-Mem disabled for systems under 1 Gigabyte of memory.
And again test it with it enabled.

'Linux and other cluster benchmarks. Like MPI, (i dont see possible performance variance of openMP sense they use OS threads anyway) HPLinpack could be a start. you could benchmark networking equipment like that. or use Intel MPI Benchmark. You could make your own mpi benchmark tests to compare MPI implementation. Otherwise, ya compare bsd's new filesystems like Hammer and ZFS and such. Compare ZFS under bsd and [open]solaris and compare those to BTRFS and TuxFS. if you can Compare redhat's GFS and Orical's ClusterFS.

more hardcore benchmarks
It would be very interesting if you guys along with file system benchmarks, benchmarked core features of operating systems, such as scheduler latencies and responsivness, tcp/udp network stack latencies and throughput and such.

*buntus
Would like to see a benchmark between the different *buntus.
Would also like to see a new benchmark of "Power & Memory Usage Of GNOME, KDE, LXDE & Xfce" using vanilla installation. Arch Linux would be a good distro to use.

Originally posted by loonyphoenix View PostWine is an interesting idea, I agree. +1
I also like the idea of monitoring the performance of some non-Ubuntu distribution, especially one which is specifically designed to be a rolling release (Arch or Gentoo or even Debian Sid), with latest STABLE software, not the way Ubuntu fluctuates between buggy new untested software and old and therefore slow software.
Arch would be awesome Except there is the slight problem that sometimes it needs user input and configuration to upgrade or continue running after an upgrade. I don't know anything about Gentoo, but I think this could be a good option. Sid would be too much like Ubuntu.
These are my thoughts

I can't suggest about what to review next, but there is one aspect that could help linux users better. PTS is already strong (or rather the de facto tool) with the benchmark suites, how about having a sub-section for overclocking guides/examples/reviews/tips/information. A sort of linux overclocking club, perhaps ? because if you see around the net, you won't find many official linux overclockers club or something along that line. Even if this means just adding a section in the forums, that should also be useful, shouldn't it ?
