# 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.
