The described benefit is that you could have special clocks which have additional behavior, but thinking about it more, if you made the CPU do that for instance, there would probably still need to be some integration between the CPU and the clock so the CPU would know what was going on, the clock would know when to switch behavior, etc. Gabe _______________________________________________ gem5-dev mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev
