= Semaphore Shuffle Benchmark
This benchmark measures the average delay between a task's release of a
semaphore and the activation of another task blocked on that semaphore.
== Directives
* rtems_semaphore_obtain
* rtems_semaphore_release
* rtems_task_wake_after
== Methodology
This benchmark has two equal priority tasks switch between themselves a total
of BENCHMARKS * 2 times. This is timed, and then execute the same code but
having the tasks pass a semphore between themselves. A task obtains the
semphore, then yields to the other task, which blocks on the semaphore. The
task owning the semaphore then releases it and yields. This process is
repeated by the other task.
This benchmark has overhead, especially in the time it takes to switch between
the two tasks, which happens a total of 2 times per semaphore shuffle. By first
timing how long it takes the tasks to switch between themselves without any
semaphore related calls, the overhead time is found. This time is then subtracted
from the total time of the benchmark, with semaphore shuffling occuring.
