+# Multiple Binary Input Example
+
+## Usage
+Set the `NUM_FILES` variable in the BUILD file to the desired input size.
+
+To generate the test files, build the `genbinary` library using the `genrule`:
+```sh
+bazel build //java/com/engflow/binaryinput:genbinary{1..<NUM_FILES>}
+```
+
+Then, the program can be built with the following command:
+```sh
+bazel build //java/com/engflow/binaryinput:main
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Generation of Java Binaries:**
+    - The `genrule` in the `BUILD` file generates a specified number of Java classes (`Hello1.java`, `Hello2.java`, ..., `HelloN.java`).
+    - Each generated class contains a `greetNum` method that prints a unique message.
+    - A java library is created for each file (`Hello1.jar`, `Hello2.jar`, ..., `HelloN.jar`).
+
+2. **Building the main target:**
+   - The previously created libraries are added to the main class as dependencies through a for loop.
+   - The consistent naming scheme of the libraries simplifies their inclusion in the build process.
+
+3. **Main Class Execution:**
+    - The `Main.java` file in `binaryinput` dynamically loads each generated class using reflection.
+    - It then invokes the `greetNum` method of each class, printing the corresponding message.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The number of generated files is controlled by the `NUM_FILES` variable in the `BUILD` file of the `binaryinput` package. Modify this variable to change the number of generated classes and observe the performance impact on Engflow's remote execution and caching service.
+
+## Example
+
+To generate and run the program with 10 input binary files:
+
+1. Set `NUM_FILES` to 10 in `java/com/engflow/binaryinput/BUILD`.
+2. Build the `genbinary` library:
+   ```sh
+   bazel build //java/com/engflow/binaryinput:genbinary{1..10}
+   ```
+3. Build the `main` binary:
+   ```sh
+   bazel build //java/com/engflow/binaryinput:main
+   ```
+
+This will generate 10 Java classes, build the `genbinary` library, and build the `main` binary. Using `bazel run` will also print messages from each generated class.
