+-build.sh-
+
+Description: Makes the build in the opae directory with the specified core
+	     count and optional performance profiling. If a build already 
+	     exists, a make clean command is ran before the build. Script waits
+             until the inteldev script or quartus program is finished running.
+
+Usage: ./build.sh -c [1|2|4|8|16] [-p [y|n]]
+
+Options:
+	-c
+	  Core count (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16).
+
+	-p
+	  Performance profiling enable (y or n). Changes the source file in the
+	  opae directory to include/exclude "+define+PERF_ENABLE".
+
+_______________________________________________________________________________
+
+
+-build_all_perf.sh-
+
+Description: Runs build.sh with performance profiling enabled for all valid
+	     core configurations.
+
+_______________________________________________________________________________
+
+
+-program_fpga.sh-
+
+Description: Signs and programs the fpga for a specified core count. Prompts
+	     for PACSign are all automatically answered 'yes'.
+
+Usage: ./program_fpga.sh -c [1|2|4|8|16]
+
+Options:
+        -c
+          Core count (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16).
+
+_______________________________________________________________________________
+
+
+-gather_perf_results.sh-
+
+Description: Creates directory named perf_YYYY_MM_DD and core subfolders in
+	     evaluation. Copies relevant build output files to specified core
+	     directory. Runs and redirects outputs of sgemm, vecadd, saxpy,
+	     sfilter, nearn, and gaussian benchmarks to specified core
+	     directory. Build should already be made before running this.
+
+Usage: ./gather_perf_results.sh -c [1|2|4|8|16]

+-gather_all_perf_results.sh-

+Description: Programs fpga and runs gather_perf_results.sh for all valid core
+	     configurations. All builds should already be made before running
+	     this.
