Dear Stephen, Thanks for your reply.
I have created the user-preload and user-postload scripts in /specs/baseline_mine/ to create a different configuration for Simflex. However, having copied the configuration.out from another simulation to create the user-postload.simics I saw that there is no parameter there for the replacement policy of the L2 (since there is no such parameter in the initialize of the L2 either). How can I define a specific replacement policy? Can it be done through user-postload with an additional line or should I do it somehow differently?
