The areas stressed include:
Video subsystem
I/O
Filesystems
Memory
Process management
Network
DOS compatibility subsystem
High client load (creating and killing applications
as fast as possible)
SMP kernel
Uniprocessor kernel
It would be cool if the Linux community had a similar central
test suite repository plus a kernel testing client application
that would go out and fetch tests and then crank through them.
Such a test engine client could also be used to gather
performance data and submit it back to a central repository
along with system hardware and OS configuration information.
This would enable the development community to more rapidly
identify bottlenecks in the kernel and the core Linux apps
and services.
