+Stress Tests for Board Stability
+================================
+
+This scripts are less helpful to develop LLVM, and more to make sure a
+particular platform is good enough to build LLVM on. When choosing machines
+to make buildbots or Jenkins slaves, it's important not just to get fast
+boxes, but stable and reliable.
+
+I've ran these scripts on a lot of different machines, local and remote and,
+providing you get all the necessary package requirements, they should be very
+independent of anything else. The kind of script you'd send to a hardware
+manufacturer so they can test their hardware before releasing (or at least
+before giving them to the toolchain team to use as builders).
