 *
 * Usage: varcpuload [-t time] [-n numcpu] [LOAD | MINLOAD MAXLOAD INCREASE]
 * LOAD, MINLOAD and MAXLOAD need to be between 1 and 100.
 * 
 * To compile:
 *   gcc -Wall -Os varcpuload.c -o varcpuload -lpthread
 * 
 * To measure load:
 * 1st terminal:
 *   for i in `seq 1 2 100`; do ./varcpuload -t 55 -n `/usr/bin/getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` $i; done
 * or better
 *   ./varcpuload -t 60 -n `/usr/bin/getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` 1 100 2; done
 * 2nd terminal:
 *   rm -f results; for i in `seq 1 2 100`; do powertop -d -t 60 >> results; done
 *
 * make sure the machine is otherwise idle, so start the machine initlevel 3 or even 1
 * and stop every unecessary service.
