<step_cycle_ratio>.set-step-rate [ipc|"quotient"]
Sets the in-order step rate - also known as instructions per cycle (IPC) - to the floating-point number ipc or the string quotient. The quotient is a string on the form "q/p". The given step rate must be in the range [1/128,128] and it will be rounded to the closest rational number q/p in the range [1/128,128], where p is a power of 2.
The argument specifies how many steps should be issued per cycle in the absence of stalling. The inverse of this value is cycles per instruction (CPI). Without an argument, the current rate is displayed.
