General:

  This is the initial implementation of multithreaded variant of the becnchmark test for 
  Eiffel-GigaSpaces wrapper loosely based on POCO benchmark example.
  Right now it's mostly the complex test example rather then the real benchmark, because
  the timing is not implemented.

  The following features are not completed yet:
    * the warmups argument is not used
    * the transactions argument is not used

Prerequisites:

  Please note that this example depends on the C++ counterpart (benchmark) because 
  we wrap the C++ classes such as MixedTypes, MyPackage_MyInnerObject, 
  complexPayloadAsBinary and so on
  So, please build the GigaSpaces benchmark example before compiling and/or 
  running this test.

Execution:

  The application acceps 8-9 arguments:
    url - space url
    warmups - number of runs before timing
    repeats - number of repeats
    threads - number of threads per test
    executions - number of Entries we use
    payload - object payload, if it has fields of payload
    batch size - size of batch for batch commands
    object type - class name of object [Base, Mixed, Payload, PayloadFifo, Doubles]
    transactions - type of transaction [false,true,jini]
    test name [Optional] - specific test name [write, update, read, take, notify, writeMultiple, readmultiple]

Misc:

  This multithreaded variant of the test sets the "multithreaded" project option to True
  
  It implements the BENCHMARK_TEST_NOTIFY and BENCHMARK_TEST_NOTIFY_LISTENER classes using 
    ISE Eiffel Thread library

  Please take a look at the project file - benchmark-cpp-mt.ecf 

  Please take a look at the following bat files:
    * runStudio.bat - Sets the required environment variables and starts 
      EiffelStudio
    * runEmbedded.bat - Sets the required environment variables and 
      starts the example with the emebedded space and default arguments
    * Please note that in order to test the application with the remote space
      (runRemote.bat) you need to run the %JSHOMEDIR%\bin\gsInstance.bat first
