 Script to run NAS parallel benchmarks with gem5. The script expects the
 benchmark program to run. The input is in the format
 <benchmark_prog>.<class>.x .The system is fixed with 2 CPU cores, MESI
 Two Level system cache and 3 GB DDR4 memory. It uses the x86 board.

 This script will count the total number of instructions executed
 in the ROI. It also tracks how much wallclock and simulated time.

 Usage:
