Implement an analysis config for evaluation purposes
We need a Pipes & Filters benchmark suite that provides conceptual benchmarks for at least the following scenarios
- an unsynchronized pipeline (single-threaded)
- to answer: efficiency
- a synchronized pipeline (single-threaded)
- to answer: synchronization overhead (cp. single-threaded version)
- a synchronized pipeline (multi-threaded)
- to answer: scalability
- a looped pipeline
- to answer: applicability and efficiency
- a more complex analysis configuration that is not a pipeline
- to answer: applicability and efficiency
- an I/O-intensive analysis configuration
- to answer: efficiency
