This is a port of hourglass, a synthetic real-time application that
can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating
system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
- It creates very detailed map of when each Hourglass thread has
access to the CPU
- It supports multiple thread execution models; e.g. periodic and
CPU-bound
- It acts as an abstraction layer for threading, timing, and CPU
scheduling functionality on Unix- and Win32-based systems
