This is a fork of https://github.com/basho/nifwait.

You're probably looking for one of two branches in this repository. The master branch does not contain anything except this README file.

1. The sleep branch, which corresponds to the basho repo's master branch.
2. The md5 branch, which corresponds to the basho repo's md5 branch.

The sleep branch is Joe's original, using a pair of simple custom NIF functions to demonstrate scheduler imbalance when NIFs execute for too long without returning control to Erlang code.

The md5 branch does the same, but without using a custom NIF. Instead, it uses the MD5 functions in the Erlang/OTP crypto module to demonstrate the same scheduling problem.
