""" This file creates a system with Ruby caches and executes 'threads', a
simple multi-threaded application with false sharing to stress the Ruby
protocol.

IMPORTANT: If you modify this file, it's likely that the Learning gem5 book
           also needs to be updated. For now, email Jason <jason@lowepower.com>
