OK, I think I figured out what are the default values mean:

By default, we simulate a 2GHz out-of-order processor with a
1GHz memory hierarchy. Cache latency is 12ns, memory and directory
latencies are 80ns, network latency is 14ns. So in terms of
processor cycles, L1 caches are 2 cycle, L2 are 24 cycles.
memory is 160 cycles.

So the questions is, is this what we want?
