Email Notifications About New Benchmarking Results, Linux Performance Regressions

Over on LinuxBenchmarking.com you can now sign up for email notifications when there are new results uploaded and/or when the new results detect performance changes -- whether they be improvements or regressions.

Via LinuxBenchmarking.com we continue to publish daily performance benchmarks of of Intel Clear Linux, the GCC compiler, the LLVM Clang compiler, the Linux kernel Git, Fedora's Rawhide Nodebug Git kernel, the latest open-source graphics drivers, and OPM. LinuxBenchmarking.com is running on the limited, basic read-only export viewer of Phoromatic.

LinuxBenchmarking.com

From the web interface you've been able to normalize results, eliminate noisy data, show a table with possible performance changes, and more. That basic interface hadn't supported email notifications of new results or regressions detected, even though the proper Phoromatic server running internally at Phoronix has long supported such capabilities.

The full-blown Phoromatic Server interface for test administrators continues to offer many more features.

I've now added basic email notification support to this viewer and thus on LinuxBenchmarking.com. Simply navigate to the performance tracker of your interest, then use the email signup form on that respective tracker page. Just supply your email address and then whether to be notified about new results and/or performance changes. It's that easy and then you'll be receiving emails from LinuxBenchmarking.com when said events take place.

If anyone has any other feature requests or feedback, feel free to let me know. The code is also open-source and patches are welcome. In fact, that email notification support is quite simple for that read-only viewer, so it'd be a great area for new contributors to start out for making improvements.

This is just one of many Phoromatic improvements you'll be able to find in the upcoming release of Phoronix Test Suite 6.4.
