This directory contains the RTEMS Timing Test Suite.

The tests in this directory are used to measure the execution

time of RTEMS directive and some critical internal functions.

The results of these test are reported in the Fact Sheets

and Supplental Manuals.

These tests attempt to benchmark RTEMS as the user would.  They measure

the execution time for a directive (under various circumstances)

from the time RTEMS is entered until it is executed.  Where possible,

the time is the average of at least 100 invocations of the directive.

The accuracy of the times reported by these benchmarks is very dependent

on the resolution of the timer being used.  It is also important to

insure that all sources of hardware interrupts are disabled during

execution of the tests.  This insures that the directive time reported

does not include any interrupt time.
