Table policies (i.e., replacement, compression, etc) behave
differently depending on the workload, and it is often desired
to be able to selectively switch between them. In this case
the relevant metadata for all the policies must be added to
all of the entries being analyzed.
In order to avoid having to monitor all table entries, a few
of these entries are selected to be sampled and estimate
overall behavior. These sampled entries belong each to a
single policy. Then, based on the predominance of these
samples, the winning policy is applied to the other sets
(followers).
As of now, in order to avoid having to iterate over a vector,
there is a limited number of dueling instances, but it may be
easily extended, if needed.
Based on Set Dueling, proposed in "Adaptive Insertion Policies
for High Performance Caching".

Sub-groups should not contain empty names. To make sure
that is the case, generate tokens even if the string is
empty.
Before the name 'group1..group2' would generate 2 tokens:
'group1' and 'group2'. As such, validateStatName would
not be able to detect it was an invalid name. With this
change three tokens will be generated: 'group1', '',
and 'group2'. The empty string will then trigger the
item->empty() check, which will successfully inform that
such stat name is not valid.
SLICC was breaking this rule with one of its stats by
creating a sub-group (inTransLatHist) whose parent had
an empty name, so it has been fixed.

Device memories are used for PCI devices which have their own pools of
backing store memory such as amdgpu device. The check for an address
being in device memory previously did not handle multiple interleaved
memory devices with the same address range. Therefore, the device memory
check would fail if the interleaving masks did not match. This updates
the method to iterate through all device memories that handle the
RequestorID and returns true if any of the device memories contain the
packet address.

The AMPM paper (https://www.jilp.org/vol13/v13paper3.pdf) defines
the bandwidth-delay calculation as :
Mbandwidth= (Nrequests/Tepoch)×Tlatency
In the code, Tepoch and Tlatency are in ticks (which is okay),
but Tepoch is converted from Cycles (256K) to Ticks using the
clockEdge(Cycle c) function, which is incorrect as it yields currentTick
+ c * clockPeriod() instead of just c * clockPeriod().
In other words, the divider keeps increasing as time advances.
This patch substitutes clockEdge() with cyclesToTicks() to keep
the epoch length (Tepoch) constant throughout simulation.

According to the DPC paper : "If the best score is less
than or equal to a fixed value BADSCORE, we turn prefetchoff
during the next phase"
However, the current code will turn prefetch off if the best
*offset* of the learning phase is less than BADSCORE, which
is incorrect.

As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.
::Stats became ::statistics.
"statistics" was chosen over "stats" to avoid generating
conflicts with the already existing variables (there are
way too many "stats" in the codebase), which would make
this patch even more disturbing for the users.

sim_clock::Int became sim_clock::as_int.
"as_int" was chosen because "int" is a reserved

unions instead.
