Hi Angela,

Your command lines look fine to me - the warnings are normal and nothing to
worry about.

The warmup just means that the statistics will be reset after that many
instructions, so that your actual simulation statistics will be from a warm
cache.  That way, all the cold misses from filling up an empty cache are not
counted in your run.
