Running the benchmarks

`. shrc`  \
`cd config` \
`runcpu --update` This command will solve a lot of expected bugs, from personal experience
`runcpu --config=<your config file>.cfg --iterations=3 --reportable <intrate or fprate or all>` \

my command: runcpu --config govardhan.cfg --iterations <2|3> --reportable <intrate | fprate | all> ulimit -s unlimited required for fprate

Results of the run will be avalibale in the ~/benchmarks/Results folder in the form of a PDF, HTML, TXT
