The Phoronix benchmarking tool is publically available for Oracle's use and debate. Benchmarking results are already posted on Phoronix's website for both FreeBSD 8.1-RC2 and OSOL 2009.06. Another article was posted using the defualts of OpenSolaris 2009.06 mentioned here for performance testing on Netbooks: "OpenSolaris 2009.06, which was released in June, was based upon Solaris Nevada Build 111b. The packages included X Server 1.5.3, Mesa 7.2, GCC 4.3.2, xf86-video-intel 2.4, and the ZFS file-system. On the OpenSolaris side it had Java SE 1.6.0_13-b03 as its default OS Java environment and with Ubuntu there was OpenJDK IcedTea6 1.4.1 ... Using the Phoronix Test Suite on both Linux and OpenSolaris we ran a number of different tests. These tests included Sun's Java 2D Microbenchmark, LAME MP3 encoding, Ogg encoding, LZMA compression, GnuPG, dcraw, Threaded I/O Tester, GraphicsMagick, BYTE Unix Benchmark, Sudokut, Sunflow Rendering System, and Java SciMark. During testing both operating systems were left at their defaults as our intentions are to provide an "out of the box" comparison of both Ubuntu 9.04 and OpenSolaris 2009.06." Well, benchmarks are always a subject of debate when done by third parties and not the originating manufacturers. Any mud-slinging is the normal by-product of such test reports. > > > > Phoronix Tests: > > > <snip> > > A few tests need implementing.

ZFS works for now for the simple purposes of these benchmarking tests. ~ Ken Mays _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
