+Usage: $0 repetitions cores1 [cores2 ... coresN]
+
+Use at least three repetitions to get a reliable average. Specify a
+number of cores to test. For example, to compare a dual core against a
+quad core CPU, I used the following:
+
+    $0 3   4 8 12 16

+Timings and results will be written to stdout.
