What Phoronix Test Suite is

Phoronix Test Suite is a free benchmarking and testing tool for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It covers workloads spanning CPU, graphics, system memory, disk storage, motherboard, power consumption, sensors, image quality, and pass/fail tests. The supported operating systems also include Solaris, BSD, and GNU Hurd. Users can compare results through its comparison database, create custom test profiles, and use command-line or automation workflows. Results can be exported in CSV, HTML, JSON, PDF, or plain text. Founded in 2008, Phoronix Test Suite suits users who want to run varied system tests and keep the results in reusable formats. Its broad workload coverage makes it useful for examining several areas of a system rather than a single component. The free plan makes its listed testing and reporting capabilities available without a paid plan.
