+# This is a wrapper script to run a dist gem5 simulations.
+# See the usage_func() below for hints on how to use it. Also,
+# there are some examples in the util/dist directory (e.g.
+# see util/dist/test-2nodes-AArch64.sh)
+#
+#
+# Allocated hosts/cores are assumed to be listed in the LSB_MCPU_HOSTS
+# environment variable (which is what LSF does by default).
+# E.g. LSB_MCPU_HOSTS=\"hname1 2 hname2 4\" means we have altogether 6 slots
+# allocated to launch the gem5 processes, 2 of them are on host hname1
+# and 4 of them are on host hname2.
+# If LSB_MCPU_HOSTS environment variable is not defined then we launch all
+# processes on the localhost.
+#
+# Each gem5 process are passed in a unique rank ID [0..N-1] via the kernel
+# boot params. The total number of gem5 processes is also passed in.
+# These values can be used in the boot script to configure the MAC/IP
+# addresses - among other things (see util/dist/bootscript.rcS).
+#
+# Each gem5 process will create an m5out.$GEM5_RANK directory for
+# the usual output files. Furthermore, there will be a separate log file
+# for each ssh session (we use ssh to start gem5 processes) and one for
+# the server. These are called log.$GEM5_RANK and log.switch.
