OSDL has released a new version of the Scalable Test Platform, an
automated test environment that allows a developer to test kernel
patches on a variety of hardware platforms against a number of
performance tests. 

The code and documentation is at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/stp/

OSDL's instance of STP is at:

http://www.osdl.org/stp.
 
Types of tests to exercise a kernel patch include:
 
    * memory stress 
    * scheduler
    * file system
    * database
    * system calls
    * synthetic microbenchmarks

Changes to the new release include the following:
 
    * New installation toolkit
    * Major revision to backend
    * Minor bug fixes to web interface
    * Much new documentation on Web and in kit
 
We encourage the community to use the framework at OSDL to test your
patches.  Become an OSDL associate (free signup) at www.osdl.org
