Re: [Gems-users] L2 cache miss actions

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure you can schedule a hap on the Simics side that triggers every 
million cycles (if you are talking about processor cycles), and the 
callback for that hap can be used to invoke the Ruby method that you 
want.  You can also schedule an event in a Ruby component with latency 
one million (Ruby cycles), which might be easier.
