#       PERFORMANCE_CHECK
#
# This explains how to enable and use the PERFORMANCE_CHECK feature
#

[-] Enabling this Features:

    1) Recompile legion
    You will need to compile legion with PERFORMANCE_CHECK=1.
    Edit your GNUMakefile in your legion build directory and
    re-compile legion.

    2) Edit your config file (Optional Step)
    Modify your legion config file and add the 'perf_cycle_gap' value
    to your processor directive. You can use this variable to override
    the default value for perf_cycle_gap which is 10000000 instns.
    This determines the gap between performance checks in number of
    instructions executed. Decreasing this below the default can
    impact the performance of your legion.

    Example:
                processor "niagara" {
                        clkfreq 5000000 ;
                        cores 1;
                        vthreads 1;
                        nglobals 4;
                        nwins 8;
                        rstv 0xfff0000020;
                        maxtl 7;
                        perf_cycle_gap 0x10000000;
                }

[-] Output

    When running legion in this mode, the simulation will print
    performance statistics since every 10000000 instns.
