# The "tree" specification is a colon-separated list of one or more
# integers.  The first integer is the number of caches/testers
# connected directly to main memory.  The last integer in the list is
# the number of testers associated with the uppermost level of memory
# (L1 cache, if there are caches, or main memory if no caches).  Thus
# if there is only one integer, there are no caches, and the integer
# specifies the number of testers connected directly to main memory.
# The other integers (if any) specify the number of caches at each
# level of the hierarchy between.
#
# Examples:
#
#  "2:1"    Two caches connected to memory with a single tester behind each
#           (single-level hierarchy, two testers total)
#
#  "2:2:1"  Two-level hierarchy, 2 L1s behind each of 2 L2s, 4 testers total
