Lenvik Alpha 2 Gets Ready For Unigine Heaven
As of this morning the second alpha release for Phoronix Test Suite 2.4 "Lenvik" is available for PC benchmarking and testing. Phoronix Test Suite 2.4 Alpha 2 brings many changes, including but not limited to, GTK GUI improvements, test result merging improvements, new command options (analyze-image-delta and analyze-linear-tracker), support for soon-to-be-announced Phoromatic features, and many enhancements to bilde_renderer (our image rendering library that's used for generating the JPG/PNG/SVG/SWF graphs) and in particularly vastly improving the SVG renderer back-end.
Outside of pts-core, new test profiles carried forward in this alpha release of Lenvik is vdrift-fps-monitor, which produces a line graph showing the vDrift frame-rate performance over the course of the test's run, etqw-demo-iqc for performing image quality comparisons with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (see NVIDIA Anti-Aliasing, Linux and Lenvik), improvements to the tiobench test profile, an fs-mark test profile for greater disk testing, and the unigine-heaven test profile is now present. Unigine Heaven will be released for Linux still this month or next and we have already tested it, and once it's officially released the download link will be added and this test profile will "just work" for totally clobbering your graphics card and system with this powerful OpenGL 3.2 benchmark.
Below is the official change-log for Phoronix Test Suite 2.4 "Lenvik" Alpha 2, but there are many more changes in this release besides what made it to the changes list. This is likely the final PTS release of 2009 while more test releases will come prior to the official release of Phoronix Test Suite 2.4.0 in February.
