EECS 453 Project files

This project contains the files which need to be added/modified in Gem5 in order to run the project.

Files added:

1. new_fs.py Script which is used to run the simulations Options added: i) --num-bce to specify the number of base core equivalents ii) --num-r to specify the number of resources per core iii) --asymmetric to toggle between symmetric and asymmetric modes

Files modified:

1. CacheConfig.py Added a separate method to configure the cache hierarchy for the new architecture
