Notes
=====
 In response to Virtutech's removal of support for Simics 2.X, this minor 
 release updates the default Simics version expected by GEMS from 2.X to 3.X.
 Existing users of GEMS are NOT required to upgrade to this version since 
 older versions of GEMS starting from v1.3 are compatible with Simics 3.X.
 Internally, the Multifacet group continues to use Simics 2.X. However, 
 efforts to transition to Simics 3.X are underway. Results of an internal 
 study comparing GEMS behavior on Simics 3.X vs Simics 2.X are available at: 
 http://www.cs.wisc.edu/gems/simics_v2to3_study.doc 

 GEMS 2.1.1 can either be downloaded as a complete tar-ball or as a patch
 file that can be applied to the GEMS 2.1 release.
