35 * \brief Kernel context switch benchmark.
37 * This benchmark measures the overhead (in µs) required to deliver a
38 * signal and switch from a low-priority process to a high-priority process.
40 * The measure is made by the high-precision timer if supported by the
41 * architecture. Alternatively, the time can also be measured using an external
42 * oscilloscope connected to the board's status LED.
