Explanation of the statout.csv metrics
Can someone help me in understanding or point me in the direction of the document where I can get the information on various metrics dumped by the SST?
ComponentName|StatisticName|StatisticSubId|StatisticType|SimTime|Rank|Sum.u64|SumSQ.u64|Count.u64|Min.u64|Max.u64

Some detail on how Statistics work in SST and are configured can be found: http://sst-simulator.org/sst-docs/docs/core/statistics/class
Statistic objects track information about components (or subcomponents).
The SST statistic output format/frequency/etc is controlled by the SST configuration file. see http://sst-simulator.org/sst-docs/docs/config/stats/overview for more details.
Also, if you want to know more about a specific statistic dumped by a specific component (e.g., "cpu | cycles"), lookup that component type or library using the 'sst-info' utility. Such as $ sst-info vanadis. Components with subcomponents may also report statistics from their subcomponents so lookup any subcomponents as well if you can't find the statistic description with the main component.
