 The aim of micro benchmark suite is to create a set of programs that can evaluate a memory allocator based on the performance matrices described in (FIX ME: local cite). These programs can be taken as a standard to benchmark an allocator's basic goals. These programs give details of an allocator's memory overhead and speed under a certain allocation pattern. The speed of the allocator is benchmarked in different ways. Similarly, false sharing happening in an allocator is also measured in multiple ways. These benchmarks evalute the allocator under a certain allocation pattern which is configurable and can be changed using a few knobs to benchmark observe an allocator's performance under a desired allocation pattern.
 
-TO DO before writing furthur: Finalize figures
+Micro Benchmark Suite benchmarks an allocator's performance by allocating dynamic objects and, then, measuring specifc matrices. The benchmark suite evaluates an allocator with a certain allocation pattern. Bnechmarks have different knobs that can be used to change allocation pattern and evaluate an allocator under desired conditions. These can be set by giving commandline arguments to the benchmark on execution.
+
+Following is the list of avalable knobs.

+*** FIX ME: Add knobs items after finalize
 
         /subsection Memory Benchmark
+        Memory benchmark measures memory overhead of an allocator. It allocates a number of dynamic objects. Then, by reading /self/proc/maps, gets the total memory that the allocator has reuested from the OS. Finally, it calculates the memory head by taking the difference between the memory the allocator has requested from the OS and the memory that program has allocated.

+                /subsubsection Relevant Knobs
+                *** FIX ME: Insert Relevant Knobs
+
         /subsection Speed Benchmark
+        Speed benchmark calculates the runtime speed of an allocator's functions (FIX ME: cite allocator routines). It does by measuring the runtime of allocator routines in two different ways.
+
                 /subsubsection Speed Time
+                The time method does a certain amount of work by calling each routine of the allocator (FIX ME: cite allocator routines) a specific time. It calculates the total time it took to perform this workload. Then, it divides the time it took by the workload and calculates the average time taken by the allocator's routine.

+
                 /subsubsection Speed Workload
+                The worload method uses the opposite approach. It calls the allocator's routines for a specific amount of time and measures how much work was done during that time. Then, similar to the time method, it divides the time by the workload done during that time and calculates the average time taken by the allocator's routine.

         /subsection Cache Scratch
+        Cache Scratch benchmark measures program induced allocator preserved passive false sharing (FIX ME CITE) in an allocator. It does so in two ways.
+
                 /subsubsection Cache Scratch Time
+                Cache Scratch Time allocates dynamic objects. Then, it benchmarks program induced allocator preserved passive false sharing (FIX ME CITE) in an allocator by measuring the time it takes to read/write these objects.

+
                 /subsubsection Cache Scratch Layout
+                Cache Scratch Layout also allocates dynamic objects. Then, it benchmarks program induced allocator preserved passive false sharing (FIX ME CITE) by using heap addresses returned by the allocator. It calculates how many objects were allocated to different threads on the same cache line.
