Simulations with USER Bandwidth mode running into error

[ssatyendras]

Hello,
Thanks for making the tool available for use.

I am trying to run simulations in the USER bandwidth mode, but seem to be running into the following error.

It seems the boolean for the estimate_bandwidth_mode is not getting the right value (and receiving a string) in the krittika/single_laye_ sim.py. I made the following changes to pass the boolean value. The error is not showing up any more. However, the simulations are very slow, much slower than in scalesimv2. Is this expected ?

`

    flag_est_bw_mode = True
    if (self.config_obj.get_bandwidth_use_mode()=="USER"):
        flag_est_bw_mode = False
    
    for compute_node in self.compute_node_list:

        this_part_mem = double_buffered_scratchpad()
        this_part_mem.set_params(verbose=self.verbose,
                                 estimate_bandwidth_mode=flag_est_bw_mode,
                                 ifmap_buf_size_bytes=per_core_ifmap_buf_size,
                                 filter_buf_size_bytes=per_core_fitler_buf_size,
                                 ofmap_buf_size_bytes=per_core_ofmap_buf_size,
                                 ifmap_backing_buf_bw=per_core_ifmap_bw,
                                 filter_backing_buf_bw=per_core_filter_bw,
                                 ofmap_backing_buf_bw=per_core_ofmap_bw
                                 )
