To do that, we decided to run a large set of benchmarks covering core components of the Linux kernel (virtual memory management, I/O subsystem, process scheduler, file system, network, device driver, etc) on a regular basis. Benchmarks are run on a variety of platforms (4P Intel Xeon processor, 2P Xeon, several ia64 server boxes etc) every week, measuring the latest snapshot of Linus' git development tree. Comprehensive performance data from our tests will be published for easy access. Our goal is to work with the Linux community to further enhance the performance of the Linux kernel. The data available on the site allows community members to closely track performance gains and losses with every version of the kernel. Ultimately, we hope that this data will result in performance increases in Linux kernel development. The benchmark result pages are populated with a few benchmarks at the moment. In the coming weeks, we will be populating more benchmark data. Happy surfing and hacking!! Ken Chen Intel Open Source Technology Center
