+/**
+ * CheckerCPU class.  Dynamically verifies instructions as they are
+ * completed by making sure that the instruction and its results match
+ * the independent execution of the benchmark inside the checker.  The
+ * checker verifies instructions in order, regardless of the order in
+ * which instructions complete.  There are certain results that can
+ * not be verified, specifically the result of a store conditional or
+ * the values of uncached accesses.  In these cases, and with
+ * instructions marked as "IsUnverifiable", the checker assumes that
+ * the value from the main CPU's execution is correct and simply
+ * copies that value.  It provides a CheckerExecContext (see
+ * checker/exec_context.hh) that provides hooks for updating the
+ * Checker's state through any ExecContext accesses.  This allows the
+ * checker to be able to correctly verify instructions, even with
+ * external accesses to the ExecContext that change state.
