49# This example script stress tests the memory system by creating false
50# sharing in a tree topology. At the bottom of the tree is a shared
51# memory, and then at each level a number of testers are attached,
52# along with a number of caches that them selves fan out to subtrees
53# of testers and caches. Thus, it is possible to create a system with
54# arbitrarily deep cache hierarchies, sharing or no sharing of caches,
55# and testers not only at the L1s, but also at the L2s, L3s etc.
