What's in this package?
=======================
This package contains the files necessary for running the Java and
native benchmarks that go with the article for The Server Side.

All the files are in source format so that you can review them before
running them in your system.


How do I build and run the benchmarks?
======================================
1. Go to the directory containing all the files.

2. To execute the Java benchmarks (primitives and objects), type:
   run

3. To execute the native benchmarks, type:
   runc

The results from the benchmark will be presented in the file:
test.txt

The tests for run and runc will take from one to two hours to complete,
depending on how fast your machine is.


Requirements
============
1. bash for running the scripts

2. JDK 1.5 or later

3. GNU Compiler Collection
