In fs.py and se.py, those are selectable with the `--cpu-type` option. Here is an overview of the most interesting ones: * `BaseSimpleCPU` descendants. Have no CPU pipeline. ** `AtomicSimpleCPU`: the default one. Memory accesses happen instantaneously. The fastest simulation except for KVM, but not realistic at all. Useful to <>.
