/** @file stress-test-rig.hpp
 ** A test bench to conduct performance measurement series. Outfitted especially
 ** to determine runtime behaviour of the Scheduler and associated parts of the
 ** Lumiera Engine through systematic execution of load scenarios.
 ** 
 ** # Scheduler Stress Testing
 ** 
 ** The point of departure for any stress testing is to show that the subject will
 ** break in controlled ways only. For the Scheduler this can easily be achieved by
 ** overloading until job deadlines are broken. Much more challenging however is the
 ** task to find out about the boundary of regular scheduler operation. This realm
 ** can be defined by the ability of the scheduler to follow and conform to the
 ** timings set out explicitly in the schedule. Obviously, short and localised
 ** load peaks can be accommodated, yet once a persistent backlog builds up,
 ** the schedule starts to slip and the calculation process will flounder.
 ** 
 ** A method to determine such a _»breaking point«_ in a systematic way is based on
 ** building a [synthetic calculation load](\ref test-chain-load.hpp) and establish
 ** the timings of a test schedule based on a simplified model of expected computation
 ** expense. By scaling and condensing these schedule timings, a loss of control can
 ** be provoked, and determined by statistical observation: since the process of
 ** scheduling contains an essentially random component, persistent overload will be
 ** indicated by an increasing variance of the overall runtime, and a departure from
 ** the nominal runtime of the executed schedule.
 ** 
 ** ## Setup
 ** To perform this test scheme, an operational Scheduler is required, and an instance
 ** of the TestChainLoad must be provided, configured with desired load properties.
 ** The _stressFactor_ of the corresponding generated schedule will be the active parameter
 ** of this test, performing a binary search for the _breaking point._
 ** 
 ** ## Observation tools

 ** @see TestChainLoad_test
 ** @see SchedulerStress_test
