Making More Informed Linux Hardware Choices

All sorts of comparisons are possible on OpenBenchmarking.org.

We are already working on future standardization possibilities with OpenBenchmarking.org Performance Classification (OPC) suites and much more.

The Phoronix Certification & Qualification Suite (PCQS) is also forthcoming.

Virtual build-a-systems are also coming.

There will also continue to be an expanded focus upon crowd-source validation and benchmarking. It is also important to reaffirm that OpenBenchmarking.org and the Phoronix Test Suite are fully multi-OS and multi-architecture capable. Anyone can also create their own test profiles / suites and utilize all of the features shown in these slides and on OpenBenchmarking.org. The test profiles/suites also do not need to be performance-oriented but could be image quality comparison tests, functional / unit tests, or looking at other abstract areas like battery power performance. All of this work is fully extensible.
