 MxTasking is a task-based framework that assists the design of latch-free and parallel data structures. 
 MxTasking eases the information exchange between applications and the operating system, resulting in novel opportunities to manage resources in a truly hardware- and application-conscious way.

 ## How to run
 For detailed information please see README files in `src/application/<app>` folders:
+
 * [B Link Tree benchmark](src/application/blinktree_benchmark/README.md)  (`src/application/blinktree_benchmark`)
 * [Hash Join benchmark](src/application/hashjoin_benchmark/README.md) (`src/application/hashjoin_benchmark`)
 
-## Example
-We build a small `Hello World!` example, located in `src/application/hello_world`. 
-You might take a look to see how to use `MxTasking`.

 ### Simple example for B Link Tree
 * Call `make ycsb-a` to generate the default workload
 * Call `./bin/blinktree_benchmark 1:4` to run benchmark for one to four cores.
