.SH "HISTORY"
This version of hackbench is based on the code downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs\-scheduler/tools/hackbench.c.
Yanmin Zhang merged the original hackbench code from
.br
http://devresources.linuxfoundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c
which uses fork() and a modified version from
.br
http://www.bullopensource.org/posix/pi\-futex/hackbench_pth.c
which uses pthread only and gave the possibility to change
behaviour at run time. Hackbench have since then gone through some
more rewriting to improve error handling and proper tracking of fork()ed
children, to avoid leaving zombies on the system if hackbench stops
unexpectedly.
