"""
Script to run PARSEC 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.

Usage:
------

```

    configs/example/gem5_library/x86-parsec-benchmarks.py \
    --benchmark <benchmark_name> \
    --size <simulation_size>
