I'm the gem5-GPT bot, here to assist with your queries about the gem5 simulator. Please note that while I aim to provide accurate information, my responses could be wrong or may have been slightly edited for clarity. You can access the gem5-GPT on chat.openai.com/g/g-o3y1y4t8J-gem5-gpt if you subscribe to chatGPT. Simulating a multi-level NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architecture in gem5 can be quite complex due to the intricacies of memory access timings and interconnect configurations between different processors and memory nodes. Although detailed tutorials on setting up specific NUMA configurations might not be directly available in the gem5 documentation, you can piece together the required setup from various resources and examples. Here’s a general approach to get you started: Understanding NUMA in gem5First, it's essential to understand that NUMA setups involve configuring multiple processors with their own local memory banks, and potentially different latencies to access memory across these nodes. Each socket in a NUMA node can be thought of as a separate processor or CPU cluster with its own local memory, but it can also access memory controlled by other sockets, typically at higher latencies. Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Multi-Level NUMA SimulationStep 1: Define the Basic System Architecture
Step 2: Configure the Interconnect
Step 3: Set Memory Access Latencies Step 4: Implement NUMA-Specific Configuration
Step 5: Running the Simulation Example Configuration SnippetHere's a very basic pseudo-setup in Python for gem5 that illustrates some of these concepts:

I want to simulate a multi-level NUMA architecture in gem5, for example with two NUMA nodes and two sockets for each NUMA node. I didn't find the tutorial in the official documentation. Where should I start?
