+# This example script has a lot in common with the memtest.py in that
+# it is designed to stress tests the memory system. However, this
+# script uses oblivious traffic generators to create the stimuli, and
+# couples them with memcheckers to verify that the data read matches
+# the allowed outcomes. Just like memtest.py, the traffic generators
+# and checkers are placed in a tree topology. At the bottom of the
+# tree is a shared memory, and then at each level a number of
+# generators and checkers are attached, along with a number of caches
+# that them selves fan out to subtrees of generators and caches. Thus,
+# it is possible to create a system with arbitrarily deep cache
+# hierarchies, sharing or no sharing of caches, and generators 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/generators. 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.
+#
+# Since this script tests actual sharing, there is also a possibility
+# to stress prefetching and the interaction between prefetchers and
+# caches. The traffic generators switch between random address streams
+# and linear address streams to ensure that the prefetchers will
+# trigger. By default prefetchers are off.
