Java Performance Toolbox v1.0
-----------------------------
28.05.2016
----------

General Information
-------------------

This library is designed as a collection of various small tools that can be used
in development of Java applications that have strong performance requirements.

Including:
- watchdog
- state-machine
- atomic sequencers
- statistics counters
- TLV
- BNF
- progress bar
- C & Java multithreading benchmarks

Project location:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jptbox/

Rationale
---------

At some point I realized that writing good software is not exactly an easy
thing. It takes time and patience. And it takes lot of hard times and failures.
But when the most recent version comes out in the light it contains all the
failures from the past, but in fixed form. Or at least it should be so... :-)

This library is a sort of Neverland, a playground (or a dojo if you like) where
the time does not matter, nor the intermediary results, but only the final
outcome. And this outcome should be small software components heading
perfection.

Getting Started
---------------

For C multithreading benchmarks, see: 
- sandbox/c/benchmark/ - for source code and further information

For Java multithreading benchmarks, see: 
- bin/ - for running scripts
- opt.jptbox.benchmark package (and sub-packages) - for the source code

For the progress bar see:
- opt.jptbox.progress package (and sub-packages) - for the source code
