Description
            Purpose
-------

The goal of this project is to provide a collection of benchmark scripts to
measure the performance of Scilab.

This module uses the apifun module.

Features
--------

This module provides the following functions.

 * scibench_backslash : Benchmarks the backslash operator.
 * scibench_benchfun : Benchmarks a function and measure its performance.
 * scibench_cholesky : Benchmarks the Cholesky decomposition.
 * scibench_dynbenchfun : Benchmarks a function with increasing data size.
 * scibench_getsettings : Inquire the parameters of Scilab and its environment.
 * scibench_latticeboltz : Performs a 2D Lattice Boltzmann simulation with
Scilab.
 * scibench_matmul : Benchmarks the matrix-matrix multiplication.
 * scibench_poisson — Solves the 2D Poisson PDE with sparse backslash.

Type "help scibench_overview" for a quick start.

Here are the changes for the version 0.5:

scibench (0.5)
 * Added two demos to measure the performance of the Cholesky decomposition.
 * Reduced the default timemax from 1 to 0.1 to have faster unit tests and demos.
 * Used assert module for unit tests.
 * Used helptbx for help pages.
 * Removed automatically generated demos.
 * Updated sci_benchfun so that the function now returns the 
   time (backward compatibility lost).
   This ensures that pre-processing steps can be separated from
   the calculation step, within the callback.
 * Updated sci_dynbenchfun so that the function now returns the 
   time (backward compatibility lost).
 * Fixed title in scibench_matmul.
 * Fixed title in scibench_backslash.
 * Created scibench_cholesky.
 * Added Poisson with sparse backslash.
 * Created separate functions poissonA and poissonAu.
 * Created dynamic benchmark for 2D Poisson.

Checked the module with Scilab 5.3.1 on Windows. The module installs and loads correctly
and 
all the tests pass.
