### RTL Simulation
[Verilator] (https://www.veripool.org/projects/verilator/wiki) is a Verilog/SystemVerilog design simulator that converts the Verilog HDL to single- or mult-ithreaded C++/SystemC code to perform the design simulation. An installation guide for Verilator is located [here.] (https://www.veripool.org/projects/verilator/wiki/Installing)

### How to Test

- *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).
- *Debug* - used to enable debug mode for the Vortex simulation.
- *Scope* -
- *Perf* - is used to enable the detailed performance counters within the Vortex simulation.
- *App* - is 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* -
An example of using the `blackbox.sh` commandline arguments is shown below.
Run the sgemm benchmark using the vlsim driver with a Vortex configuration of 1 cluster, 4 cores, 4 warps, and 4 threads:
