-# pkbf - Parallel Kernel Benchmarking Framework
+# scalometer - parallel kernel benchmarking
 
-This project provides a benchmarking framework for parallel computing kernels, where the execution of the kernels can be parallelized using OpenMP or Eventify to compare both for the FlexFMM collaborative project. 
-The application is designed to make adding kernels and parallelization strategies as easy as possible.
+This project provides a benchmarking tool for benchmarking parallelization strategies with kernels found in HPC applications.
