- *Threads* - used to specify the number of threads (smallest unit of computation) within a configuration.
- *L2cache* - used to enable the shard l2cache among the Vortex cores.
- *L3cache* - used to enable the shared l3cache among the Vortex clusters.
- *Driver* - used to specify which driver to run the Vortex simulation (either rtlsim, vlsim, fpga, or simx).
- *Driver* - used to specify which driver to run the Vortex simulation (either rtlsim, opae, xrt, simx).
- *Debug* - used to enable debug mode for the Vortex simulation.
- *Perf* - used to enable the detailed performance counters within the Vortex simulation.
- *App* - used to specify which test/benchmark to run in the Vortex simulation. The main choices are vecadd, sgemm, basic, demo, and dogfood. Other tests/benchmarks are located in the `/benchmarks/opencl` folder though not all of them work wit the current version of Vortex.
- *Args* - used to pass additional arguments to the application.
Example use of command line arguments: Run the sgemm benchmark using the vlsim driver with a Vortex configuration of 1 cluster, 4 cores, 4 warps, and 4 threads.
Example use of command line arguments: Run the sgemm benchmark using the opae driver with a Vortex configuration of 1 cluster, 4 cores, 4 warps, and 4 threads.
