+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
