""" Script to run SPEC CPU2006 benchmarks with gem5. The script expects a benchmark program name and the simulation size. The system is fixed with 2 CPU cores, MESI Two Level system cache and 3 GiB DDR4 memory. It uses the x86 board. This script will count the total number of instructions executed in the ROI. It also tracks how much wallclock and simulated time.
