Here when you invoke qemu, add -snapshot command to make sure disk image is
run under read-only mode. Otherwise there is high probability that your
disk image will get corrupted.

In simconfig, add -kill-after-run to kill the simulation instance after it
completes and it will flush the stats to specified m.stat file.

Check out 'create_checkpoints.py' script where we execute couple of other
commands where we export PARSEC_NUM_CPUS and other variables to set per
thread affinity.  This is recommended to reduce run-by-run variations.
 Don't export checkpoint name variable if you are not creating a checkpoint.

The benchmark runs for a while, but the simulator crashes after a while
