At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your

site's news section would be greatly appreciated.

Title: Building A Benchmarking Test Farm With Phoromatic ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "There's the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoronix Global, and PTS

Desktop Live as our family of free software products to provide

extensive benchmarking and automated testing capabilities atop Linux,

OpenSolaris, BSD, and Mac OS X operating systems. The Phoronix Test

Suite has more than 120 test profiles and 50 test suites with new suites

and tests continuing to come in through its extensible architecture, but

for organizations with multiple test systems or entire testing farm(s)

devoted to performance monitoring and regression tracking, they have had

to strap the Phoronix Test Suite atop their own management systems or

hack away at simple scripts to deploy our testing software across an

array of systems. Today though we are announcing the public beta launch

of Phoromatic. Phoromatic is a remote test management system that allows

controlling any number of PTS-powered systems through a single web-based

interface, which also allows all of the test results to be viewed from a

central source. This article provides a first-look and guide for some of

the possibilities of Phoromatic from those looking to build a

benchmarking test farm or for individuals simply wanting to benchmark

computers across the world. We also share in this article what may be

coming next to our Linux-focused benchmarking empire."
