Many Interesting Tests Are Coming For The Phoronix 10th Birthday

[Michael]

More system benchmarks: real-world performance, a kernel 3.10 (at least) to 3.15 comparison, and what happened to the file system/block layer regressions found in past releases...

Been thinking about benchmarking all Linux 3.x kernels...

It's doable. It can be timeouted:

./cudaminer  --benchmark --time-limit 20

compute capability and the khash/s are the most important. Older Quadros on compute capability 1.1 got only ~27 khash/s on FX 3700 and around 7 on FX 580

Going this rout there may be some CUDA kernels that could be adapter as a CUDA benchmarks. Someone familiar with them would have to help I guess.

CudaMiner has --benchmark but I must check if it can be stopped after X calculations.

Well if you can check and verify that it will return gracefully after X calculations, that would be good, and could lead to it being added for testing.

Test profile additions welcome... As far as I know, those apps don't have an automated benchmark mode.

Intel Bay Trail NUC vs Intel Haswell NUC vs AMD equivalent

Bay Trail NUC is all I have with no Haswell NUC and no AMD equivalent, at least for that form factor.

Phoronix: Many Interesting Tests Are Coming For The Phoronix 10th Birthday

To end out May on a high note and in getting June kick-started, when Phoronix turns ten years old on 5 June, there is a lot of interesting upcoming content and Linux/open-source performance benchmarks...
