The Phoronix Test Suite, developed by Michael Larabel and Matthew Tippett, has been endorsed by sites such as Linux.com,[2] LinuxPlanet,[3] and Softpedia.

Tests available to use include MEncoder, FFmpeg and lm sensors, along with OpenGL games such as Doom 3, Nexuiz, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and many more.

[5] The suite also contains a feature called PTS Global where users may upload their test results and system information for sharing.

[8] Currently, their reference implementations autonomously monitor the performance of the Linux kernel on a daily basis,[9] Fedora Rawhide,[10] and Ubuntu.

[12] Phodevi (Phoronix Device Interface) is a library that provides a clean, stable, platform-independent API for accessing software and hardware information.

[19] On April 20, 2007, Phoronix redesigned its website and began publishing Solaris hardware reviews and news in addition to Linux content.
