/**
 * @file sim/global_event.hh
 * Global events and related declarations.
 *
 * A global event is an event that occurs across all threads, i.e.,
 * globally.  It consists of a set of "local" (regular) Events, one
 * per thread/event queue, a barrier object, and common state.  The
 * local events are scheduled for the same tick.  The local event
 * process() method enters the barrier to wait for other threads; once
 * all threads reach that tick (and enter the associated barrier), the
 * global event is triggered and its associated activity is performed.
 *
 * There are two basic global event patterns, GlobalEvent and
 * GlobalSyncEvent.  GlobalEvent is the base class for typical global
 * events, while GlobalSyncEvent is optimized for global
 * synchronization operations.
