- NUM_CLUSTERS: the number of clusters alotted to the processor
- L3_ENABLE: enable the use of the L3 cache

OPAE Build Progress
-------------------
You could check the last 10 lines in the build log for possible errors until build completion.
$ tail -n 10 ./build_fpga_*# of cores*c/build.log
Example: `tail -n 10 ./build_fpga_4c/build.log`
$ tail -n 10 ./build_fpga_4c/build.log
Check if the build is still running by looking for quartus_sh, quartus_syn, or quartus_fit programs.
$ ps -u `username`
$ ps -u *username*
If the build fails and you need to restart it, clean up the build folder using the following command:
$ make clean-fpga-*# of cores*c
$ make clean-fpga- *# of cores* c
Example: `make clean-fpga-4c`
The file `vortex_afu.gbs` should exist when the build is done:
$ ls -lsa ./build_fpga_*# of cores*c/vortex_afu.gbs
$ ls -lsa ./build_fpga_ *# of cores* c/vortex_afu.gbs
