Metadata is a key-value mapping for arbitrary data, similar to classifiers. Unlike classifiers, metadata does not directly relate to the results of the execution, but to the execution itself, and typically would not be processed by Output Processors in the same way as classifiers. Metadata can also be a lot more free-form in it's value structure; while classifier values are simple scalars, metadata values can be arbitrary POD structures.
Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 50
workloads (mostly Android), some common instrumentation (ftrace, ARM
Streamline, hwmon). A number of output formats are supported.
Workload Automation is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to
facilitate data driven development by providing a method of collecting
measurements from a device in a repeatable way.
Workload Automation is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is
implemented via plug-ins, and it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new
device types, workloads, instrumentation or output processing.
