Introduction
According to the Phoronix Test Suite website, PTS
is the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform available that provides an extensible framework for which new tests can be easily added. The software is designed to effectively carry out both qualitative and quantitative benchmarks in a clean, reproducible, and easy-to-use manner. The Phoronix Test Suite can be used for simply comparing your computer's performance with your friends and colleagues or can be used within your organization for internal quality assurance purposes, hardware validation, and continuous integration / performance management.
Among the strengths of Phoronix Test Suite are its ease of use, the multitude of available tests, the ability to automatically process results and, present them graphically. The software also integrates the OpenBenchmarking.org infrastructure, where users can review information about available tests and test suites, upload results to share these results with other users, and access previously uploaded results and the results of other users for comparison of results.
Use Case for Multi-Booting Users
Users with a multi-boot system might want to compare the performance of each of the OSes on the system. To facilitate the testing and results comparison these users may want to
-
perform a system-wide installation on each of the OSes using the PTS installer script instead of using packages that are available in distributions' package repositories or use it uninstalled directly from the executable script in the root of the installation archive
-
create a directory for PTS resources, i.e., for test installation, test result storage, and cache on a partition available to all installed OSes
-
modify the PTS system-wide configuration file on each OS on the system to point to the centrially accessible resource directory
Downloading Phoronix Test Suite
A Zip archive containing the latest git version of Phoronix Test Suite can be downloaded by clicking the download the .zip file of the latest code link on the Downloads page (first image in the following set). In past releases of PTS, a stable version of the program in a generic .tar.gz format could be downloaded directly. The archive contained the program executable on a per-user basis or from a system-wide installation. It was also available as a .deb package (second image in the following set). The distribution of the program has improved due to its use of GitLab, however the direct link on its download page is to the latest development version instead of the latest stable release, something some users may find problematic.
The Current and Past (2021) Phoronix Test Suite Download Page
The notable items contained in the downloaded archive are a standalone executable of PTS and an installer shell script that will install PTS system-wide. The following listing shows the contents of the extracted Zip archive.

Installing Phoronix Test Suite
Phoronix Test Suite can be made available on a system using various methods.
-
Some Linux distributions package and distribute PTS form their native package repositories for installation with their native package managers. Some distributions may not officially distribute PTS from their official package repositories, but community members may make it available in unofficial repositories, for example for Arch based distributions, it is available in the Chaotic AUR repository.
-
PTS may be used without it actually being installed by executing the phoronix-test-suite shell script from within the extracted Zip archive directory (shown in the previous listing).
-
PTS may be installed system-wide by executing the install-sh shell script contained within the extracted Zip archive. The instance of PTS installed in this way can be executed by a regular user or root, but will use different configuration files (see below).
Install Prerequisites
Before installing PTS itself, we must install its dependencies from the native system package repositories. The following listing of
pacman -Si phoronix-test-suite
on an Arch based system with the Chaotic AUR enabled shows the required and optional dependencies. The only required dependencies are
sh, provided by
bash, and
php.

Configuration
Phoronix Test Suite is primarily configured in one of two configuration files, one for executing PTS as an ordinary user, ~/.phoronix-test-suite/user-config.xml, and the other for executing as root for a PTS instance installed system-wide, /etc/phoronix-test-suite.xml.
The system-wide configuration file is only created after running phoronix-test-suite, for example with the system-info sub-command, as shown previously.

Configuring for a Multi-Boot System
Results of tests performed by the system-wide installed PTS on any installed
distribution on the multi-boot computer should be available to any other distribution to make post-test analysis and
results presentation easier. One way to achieve this is to store test results in a directory on a data partition
accessible to all installed distributions. PTS tests downloaded automatically from
openbenchmark.org/tests and installed by PTS prior to benchmarking runs by can also be installed to this directory so they are
shared by PTS instances in each distribution on the multi-boot system.
To set this up:
-
Create a directory on a data partition that is automatically mounted on each installed distribution.
░▒▓ │ ~ ▓▒░──────────────────────────────────░▒▓ at 08:25:30 PM ▓▒░─╮
❯ mkdir -p ~/DataEXT4-16ITH6/PhoronixTestSuite
-
Edit the PTS configuration file /etc/phoronix-test-suite/xml so the Results Directory
parameter value in the XML hierarchy Phoronix Test Suite -> Options -> Testing from
~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-results/
to something similar to,
/home/brook/DataEXT4-16ITH6/phoronix-test-suite/test-results/
-
Edit the PTS configuration file /etc/phoronix-test-suite/xml so the Environment
Directory parameter value in the XML hierarchy Phoronix Test Suite -> Options ->
Installation from
~/.phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/
to something like
/home/brook/DataEXT4-16ITH6/phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/
-
Edit the PTS configuration file /etc/phoronix-test-suite/xml so the CacheDirectory
parameter value in the XML hierarchy Phoronix Test Suite -> Options -> Installation
from
~/.phoronix-test-suite/download-cache/
to a subdirectory in the previously used resuource directory
/home/brook/DataEXT4-16ITH6/phoronix-test-suite/download-cache/
The following image shows the configuration file in the system-wide installation of
PTS on CachyOS with the modified parameters and the original parameters commented out.
The Phoronix Test Suite System-Wide Installation Configuration File
This file, /etc/phoronix-test-suite.xml, needs to be edited in each distribution
to reflect the shared PTS resources directory.
With these changes, no matter on which distribution PTS is run, the results will be saved to this central location
accessible to all instances of PTS on the multi-boot system. Benchmarking tests
performed from any of the installed distributions can be more easily merged and analyzed together. And, if any of
the distributions are replaced with another distribution, the past results will still be avialable. It should be
noted that because of the power of PTS, other configurations and workflows are
possible to achieve easy access of PTS resources and results, but for my use case
this is simplest.
Listing Tests and Test Suites and Viewing Test and Test Suite Information
A list of available tests and test suites and detailed information about each test or test suite can be viewed
either by visiting the OpenBenchmarking.org website or by using
the appropriate sub-commands in the PTS command-line application.
Listing Tests and Test Suites
Available tests and test suites can be browsed on the OpenBenchmarking.org/tests and OpenBenchmarking.org/suites pages, respectively. Clicking on any of the suites or tests will
give further information about each test or suite.
The OpenBenchmarking.Org Site Lists Available Tests and Test Suites
The PTS also has commands for listing the tests and test suites available from OpenBenchmarking.org/suites repository mirrors. The command
is:
sudo phoronix-test-suite list-available-suites
The output of the command, showing the suites available on April 28, 2026, is shown below. Note that, for some
reason, the pts/workstation suite is not actually listed in the output of
list-available-suites but is OpenBenchmarking.org/suites

As with tests, information about test suites can be obtained with a PTS CLI
command phoronix-test-suite info test-suite-name, or the test suite's detail page at openbenchmarking.org. The following set of images shows the
information provided by the CLI and openbenchmarking.org for the
Common Workstaion Benchmarks test suite.
Test Suite Detail Information from PTS CLI and OpenBenchmarking.org
The images show the information available from both sources for the Common Workstation Benchmarks test

Installing Tests and Test Suites
Individual benchmarking tests or collections of tests grouped in a test suite must be installed to perform benchmark
tests. The installation command downloads and installs specified tests or test suites to the directory specified as
the value of the Environment parameter in the configuration file. Tests and test
suites are also automatically installed when executing the benchmarking command, if the referenced tests or suites
have not been installed before-hand.
The basic command for installing tests and test suites is:
sudo phoronix-test-suite install test-or-suite-name
As an alternative to using the name as an argument to the
install sub-command, the test or suite to install
can be specified with the test or suite's OpenBenchmarking ID or by test result name, whree the tests used to produce
the test results are installed.
As an example of using the install PTS
sub-command, and dealing with the idiosyncracies and possible bugs of PTS we will
install the tests stress-ng, srsran, litert, and hackbench using the command:
sudo phoronix-test-suite install stress-ng srsran litert hackbench
As we can see in the
following listing of the command execution and command output, the test installation command, above, first determines
the prerequiste software from the system packages repository -- in this case --
libconfig -- and proceeds to install them using the system's native package manager. It
then summarizes the tests to install, the total download size, and provides details on each tests download status and
installation status.

Apparently, this transaction exposed an error or bug in the installation mechanism for the pts/srsran test because the output indicates the error:
The installer exited with a non-zero exit status.
ERROR: -- Package 'mbedtls' not found
LOG: /home/brook/DataEXT4-16ITH6/phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/pts/srsran-2.5.0/install-failed.log
According to Phoronix Test Suite documentation, and as we saw with libconfig, the install command is designed to install software dependencies using the
system package manager.
Resolving the above installation error requires manually installing the mbedtls
package from the CachyOS package repositories. A search for this package name shows the following packages:
cachyos-extra-v4/mbedtls2 2.28.10-1.1
An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library
extra/mbedtls 3.6.5-1
An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library
extra/mbedtls2 2.28.10-1
An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library
After installing mbedtls2 and mbdtls, we can use
the force-install PTS sub-command to reinstall
the test.

Creating a Custom Test
Suite from Installed Tests
Phoronix Test Suite allows users to create a custom test suite from any of the
installed or available tests by using the sub-command build-test-suite. When used without any options
an interactive tool is started to guide the user in selecting the tests and suites to add to the new custom suite;
if test names and suite names are provided as options, as in:
sudo phoronix-test-suite build-suite test-1 test-2 ... test-n suite-1 suite-2
suite-n
where test-1, test-2 ... test-n are individual test identifiers of tests to be included in the suite.
Test suites created by executing the build-test-suite command as root are saved in /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/test-suites/local/ in a directory named after the created
test suite name. The directory will contain the test definition in an .xml file
named
suite-definition.xml.
To demonstrate the custom test suite creation capability, we will create a test suite named custom-responsiveness that includes the previously installed tests stress-ng, srsran, litert, and hackbench. Accordin to the PTS documentation, providing the command with test or suite identifier arguments,

Saved -- to run this suite, type: phoronix-test-suite benchmark custom-responsiveness
Unfortunately, Phoronix Test Suite -- for system-wide, privileged execution -- does not save created test suites
in the same directory as that used to save installed tests and results, but in a subdirectory of /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite. That means we either have to recreate the suite in
another distribution that we want to run the suite in for a comparison benchmark, or copy the test suite directory
to any other distribution in which we want to run the suite. The following listing shows the change to /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/ made by the custom test suite creation command.

Conclusion
Despite some of its idiosyncracies and some apparent bugs, Phoronix Test Suite
is an excelent tool for objective benchmark comparison of computer systems. To see the execution of tests
