+<p align="left"><em>With over 50 test profiles and 23 test suites, the Phoronix Test
+Suite offers unparalleled benchmarking for the Linux OS and can effectively gauge
+a computer's performance from video gaming to file encryption to audio-video encoding
+tasks.</em></p>
+<p align="left">Grand Rapids, MI (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/linux_validation/linux_test_suite/prweb995384.htm">PRWEB</a>)
+June 5, 2008 -- Phoronix Media today released version 1.0 of the Phoronix Test
+Suite (codenamed "Trondheim"), an extensible open-source platform for
+conducting Linux-based benchmarking and performance profiling targeted at IHVs,
+ISVs, and technology hobbyists. The Phoronix Test Suite combines years of Linux
+testing by Phoronix Media with input from leading technology companies to offer
+the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform available for the Linux
+Operating System. The Phoronix Test Suite also offers unprecedented capabilities
+for collaboration via the suite's online component.</p>
+<p align="left">"Over the past several years the Linux ecosystem has changed.
+For a large part it's now rare to find Linux incompatible hardware, but it's becoming
+a matter of having vendors optimize their drivers and ensuring a quality experience
+across a wide array of software. The Phoronix Test Suite looks to address this
+issue in part by providing a platform for conducting tests in an autonomous, reproducible,
+and standardized environment," said Michael Larabel, the founder of Phoronix
+Media and lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite. "The impact of the Phoronix
+Test Suite isn't limited to those interested in better optimizing their software
+or quality assurance teams ensuring device compatibility, but a by-product of
+this is greater vitality within the Linux ecosystem by fostering the growth of
+a standardized test specification."</p>
+<p align="left">The Phoronix Test Suite was designed to be highly extensible.
+This software is provided under the GNU GPLv3 license to allow independent developers
+and companies to use this framework with the included tests, write test profiles
+for their own applications, or utilize third-party sources. A basic test profile
+can be written in a matter of minutes using the documented, standardized XML-based
+specification with support for installing the software, carrying out the programmed
+tests, and reporting the results. Through the turnkey deployment capabilities
+of the Phoronix Test Suite each test is run in a standardized, easy to use, and
+repeatable fashion on any Linux distribution and any system configuration.</p>
+<p align="left">"The overall flexibility and usability of the Phoronix Test
+Suite makes it easy to create complex testing configurations and still have the
+results presented in a readable and understandable fashion," said Andrew
+Schofield, a computational biologist and one of the contributing developers to
+the Phoronix Test Suite. "Many of the software tools used in computational
+biology involve running tasks or analyses for extended periods of time due to
+the amount of computation required. Even a relatively simple molecular dynamics
+simulation can take a whole day of CPU time to only produce a couple nanoseconds
+of the simulation. The Phoronix Test Suite should be able to offer insight into
+what machine configurations perform the best at different tasks."</p>
+<p align="left">For archiving, sharing, and analyzing results generated by the
+Phoronix Test Suite, an online component is provided free-of-charge and the results
+are web accessible. <a href="http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/">PTS Global</a>
+supports searching through all uploaded results, grouping of results, side-by-side
+results comparison, uploading results with user-supplied tags, and other features
+to effectively analyze test results.</p>
+<p align="left">"The Phoronix Test Suite is an impressive, fast-developing
+general-purpose testing suite for both software and hardware on Linux...Its range
+and flexibility set it apart from the current batch of benchmarking tools,"
+said Carla Schroder, author of The Linux Cookbook and The Linux Networking Cookbook.
+"It has an especially interesting and useful feature that I believe is unique:
+a public repository for sharing and comparing test results, and replicating tests
+performed by other users. This is a great tool for system tuning and understanding
+what your own test results really mean. I think this is going to become one of
+the most popular and useful Linux benchmarking suites." </p>
+<p align="left">The Phoronix Test Suite can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/">http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/</a>.
+Going forward, Phoronix Media will provide regular point releases with the next
+major update being planned for a Q4'08 release. Technical support can be made
+available to corporate customers on an individual basis.</p>
