Ruby doesn't pass this information to Simics.  You have to configure Ruby
to match the installed memory in your Simics checkpoint that you load.

Hmm....what NETWORK_TOPOLOGY?  Its possible that our auto-generated
networks assume that the # memories == # processors.  But I'll have to
check the code for this.  Regardless you can create a network file by hand
if you need to.
