'''Introduction:''' Performance of embedded and real-time systems is important to consider when developing new features for RTEMS. This project would introduce a suite of benchmark applications that could be used to test RTEMS performance on different platforms. 

Candidate benchmarks:
 *  [http://www.mrtc.mdh.se/projects/wcet/benchmarks.html Mälardalen WCET benchmarks]
 *  [http://www.cprover.org/goto-cc/examples/snu.html SNU Real-Time benchmarks]
 *  [http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/DDJ/1990/9004/9004d/9004d.htm Rhealstone benchmarks] 

We will need to investigate what are viable and license-compliant solutions. Licensing issues may be less important for the BenchKit since it can be designed as a stand-alone product that would not be integrated with user applications.

'''Goal:''' Create a package containing suitable benchmarks that run under RTEMS.

'''Requirements:''' This project is mainly about integrating another project with RTEMS. Familiarity with RTEMS build system, cross-compilation, and the ability to create good documentation are all must-haves.

'''Resources:'''

As the project progresses, you will need to add build instructions, etc and this page will evolve from a project description into a HOWTO.
