phoronix test suite 是很全面的测试工具，支持Linux/Windows/Mac等主流OS。

The Phoronix Test Suite ships with access to more than 450 test profiles and over 100 test suites. These tests range from battery power consumption monitoring for mobile devices to multi-threaded ray-tracing benchmarks and span the CPU, graphics, system memory, disk storage, and motherboard components. If there is a test though not currently covered by the Phoronix Test Suite, new tests can be quickly added via its extensible architecture (see the documentation) with each profile just being comprised of XML files and a few simple scripts. The Phoronix Test Suite also supports Cascading Test Profiles (CTP) whereby a test is able to extend and leverage an already existing profile.

Regardless of the test profile, if the Phoronix Test Suite detects a test(s) standard deviation between runs is exceeding a predefined threshold, the Phoronix Test Suite can automatically call on that test to be executed additional times to ensure the reported result is accurate. Other statistical and analytical options are also available.

Through another Phoronix Test Suite module it is possible to log in real-time various system sensors like the CPU temperature, the battery power consumption, disk read/write speeds, and numerous other sensors. This can be done while any test profile is running and the recorded results are then provided within the results viewer. It is as simple as running a command such as MONITOR=all phoronix-test-suite benchmark x264.
