# An empty simobject. Used for organizing simobjects
# into logical groups as subsystems of a larger
# system. For example, if we wanted to build a cpu cluster
# subsystem of 2 cores with private L1 caches and a shared
# L2, but needed 8 total cores, we could instantiate 4
# SubSystems containing the same child simobjects but avoid
# any naming conflicts.
