 # This example script has a lot in common with the memtest.py in that
 # it is designed to stress tests the memory system. However, this
 # script uses oblivious traffic generators to create the stimuli, and
 # couples them with memcheckers to verify that the data read matches
 # the allowed outcomes. Just like memtest.py, the traffic generators
 # and checkers are placed in a tree topology. At the bottom of the
 # tree is a shared memory, and then at each level a number of
 # generators and checkers are attached, along with a number of caches
 # that them selves fan out to subtrees of generators and caches. Thus,
 # it is possible to create a system with arbitrarily deep cache
 # hierarchies, sharing or no sharing of caches, and generators not
 # only at the L1s, but also at the L2s, L3s etc.
 #
 # The tree specification consists of two colon-separated lists of one
 # or more integers, one for the caches, and one for the
 # testers/generators. The first integer is the number of
 # caches/testers closest to main memory. Each cache then fans out to a
 # subtree. The last integer in the list is the number of
 # caches/testers associated with the uppermost level of memory. The
 # other integers (if any) specify the number of caches/testers
 # connected at each level of the crossbar hierarchy. The tester string
 # should have one element more than the cache string as there should
 # always be testers attached to the uppermost caches.
 #
 # Since this script tests actual sharing, there is also a possibility
 # to stress prefetching and the interaction between prefetchers and
 # caches. The traffic generators switch between random address streams
 # and linear address streams to ensure that the prefetchers will
 # trigger. By default prefetchers are off.
