Hardware Modeling

This simulator section now treats hardware modeling as a shared hardware concept rather than a simulator-only detail.

The canonical page is:

• Hardware Modeling and Physical Power Model

Use that page for:

• CPU and GPU model provenance
• physical assumptions behind caps and slowdown
• heterogeneous-node semantics
• current limitations and calibration status

From the simulator point of view, the important relationship is simple:

• the simulator implements the modeling assumptions documented there
• the agent relies on the same hardware assumptions when interpreting caps and backend limits
• simulator runtime pages describe how those models are exercised in experiments

For simulator-specific flow, continue with:

• Workload and Power Simulator
• Power Simulator
