A CTRON kernel benchmark program

The software used in systems for information, communication, and switching processing can be more portable and easier to maintain when these systems use layered software structures (platforms). It is therefore necessary to establish techniques for comparatively evaluating the performance of different platforms designed in conformance to the interface specifications for each layer of these hierarchical systems. The authors propose a method for using a benchmark program, to quantitatively compare kernel interface performances, which are central to the performance of CTRON-specification systems.<
