The simulation itself worked fine. The error happened after simulation when 
Orion is trying to compute network power using activity stats.
The assertion seems to indicate that a router with zero input ports was 
created, which is weird.
I know the Mesh topology works if you use equal number of CPUs and directories. 
To use 4 directories, you can use MeshDirCorners.
Am not very sure what will happen if you use 2 directories and 6 CPUs with the 
mesh topology.
Take a look at the topology file (configs/topologies/Mesh.py)  to see what is 
being created.
Or use a printf or debug statement inside orion to see why the assertion failed.
