Structure of a kernel

Every kernel must be in the kernel directory of BenchIT and needs 2 Scripts: COMPILE.SH and RUN.SH. Also it needs the sourcefiles in the same directory.

Selecting a kernel

BenchIT supports the selecting of different kernels and their starting by the b-care-shell and the GUI.

Also you can select whether you want to compile the kernel, run it or do both.

Starting a kernel

After you've selected the kernels, you want to start, a script is generated, which calls all the selected scripts. Those call different scripts provided by BenchIT.
