-This configuation script shows an example of how to take checkpoints for
-SimPoints using the gem5 stdlib. SimPoints, SimPoints interval length,
-SimPoints weights, and the warmup instruction length are passed into the gem5
-SimPoint module. The gem5 SimPoint module will calculate where to take
-checkpoints based of the SimPoints, SimPoints interval length, and the warmup
-instruction length. In SE mode, when you pass in a SimPoint object to the
-set_se_binary_workload, it will schedule exit events for SimPoints in the init
-stage of the core. With the Simulator module and the exit event generator,
-checkpoints will be taken for the SimPoints.
