$ ${BINARY} \
  --workload-configuration=${WORKLOAD_CONFIG} \
  --system-configuration=${SYSTEM_CONFIG} \
  --network-configuration=${NETWORK_CONFIG} \
  --memory-configuration=${MEMORY_CONFIG}

• Argument ${WORKLOAD_CONFIG}
  • Using Execution Trace Generator (et_generator)
  • Using Execution Trace Converter (et_converter)
• Argument ${SYSTEM_CONFIG}
• Argument ${NETWORK_CONFIG}
  • Analytical Network Config
  • Garnet Network Config
  • NS3 Network Config
• Argument ${MEMORY_CONFIG}
  • Analytical Memory Config
