# This example script stress tests the memory system by creating false
# sharing in a tree topology. At the bottom of the tree is a shared
# memory, and then at each level a number of testers are attached,
# along with a number of caches that them selves fan out to subtrees
# of testers and caches. Thus, it is possible to create a system with
# arbitrarily deep cache hierarchies, sharing or no sharing of caches,
# and testers 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. 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.
