Python Configurability
-  Resource Configuration - How can we specify what resources are instantiated via the Python config files?
-  ResourceType - Type of resource (Enum type)
- ResourceParams - Parameters for this type of resource
 -  Request - List of requests for this type of resource (Enum type)
- Latency - operation latency and issue latency (intra/inter thread)
 
 - Count - Number of such resource type
 
 
 -  ResourceType - Type of resource (Enum type)
 
-  Pipeline Description
-  InstSchedule - Instruction schedule specified as a vector of InstClassSchedule
- InstClassSchedule - Vector of schedules per instruction class - load/store, Int execute, FP execute, specialized inst, etc. (do we still want a distinction between front end and back end schedules?)
 
 -  ResourceRequestList - Vector of ResourceRequest (per stage?)
- ResourceRequest - Vector of requests for resources
 
 - ResourceType/Request options
 
 -  InstSchedule - Instruction schedule specified as a vector of InstClassSchedule
 
Simulation Speed
-  Instruction Sleeping
- Sleep instructions waiting for an long-delay event (instead of constantly ask a resource if it's complete
 
 
-  Event Sleeping
- Sleep CPU w/no activity - Implemented on a coarse-grain level, but Activity object can be tuned to be exact.
 
 
- Resource Pool
 - Instead of broadcasting all events to the resource pool, have resources declare what functions they have virtual functions for (or auto-detect this) and then only broadcast to the right set of resources every time (e.g. the BranchPredictor may not care about a Trap Event)
 
ISA Support
- ALPHA - completed
 - MIPS - completed
 - SPARC - partially completed (not currently being developed)
 - ARM - not completed - Support for Micro-Ops Needed (Template code from Simple or O3 CPU?)
 - X86 - not completed - Support for Micro-Ops Needed (Template code from Simple or O3 CPU?)
 - POWER - not completed
 
Full System Support
-  InOrder can boot Linux, but testing for benchmark suites
- PARSEC
 - SPLASH2
 - SPEC2K6
 
 
Checkpointing
- The serialize/unserialize functions are currently unimplemented in InOrder
