Hi Nilay, The reasons is that they change during the simulation (due to DVFS). Hence, the values in config.json/ini are not reflecting anything but the starting point, and are not useful for calculating power/thermals.
This patch will later be combined with DVFS handlers that control when the stats are dumped and reset.
