@RaduNichita @razvanvirtan can you also take a look from a technical point of view? |

@huyang531 squash the commits, don't add the co-authored-by tag. |

| It is fairly intuitive to port the C program itself to Unikraft as the Musl library already provides most of what we need, including the `pthread` interface. | ||
| It would be ideal if we could separate the helper functions from the main logic and build the benchmark as a library (as we do need to test the memory allocator against more benchmarks in the future), because then we could just build an all-in-one image and run a large number of tests with different benchmarks and different parameters using an automated script. | ||
| However, I haven't figured out a good way to do it as [Unikraft's build system](https://unikraft.org/docs/internals/build-system#makefileuk) is quite complex. | ||
| So for now, the benchmark is ported as a single `main.c` file that will run as an application. |

Do you have some preliminary results to put into the blogpost?

I do have the code ready - where should I put them?

Anywhere. You can create a repo on your github, or a gist or anything, lust add a link here.
