Since this question gets asked often to the list, I looked on the gem5 wiki for "tick" and "ticks" and didn't find any explanation (please let me know if I missed it somewhere).
I'd like to put an explanation on the wiki but I'm not sure where the best place would be. I think http://gem5.org/Introduction#Running and/or http://gem5.org/Running_gem5#Full_System_.28FS.29_Mode would be good places. Please let me know if you have suggestions. I'll add the explanation later today after I get your feedback.

This has been answered multiple times. A tick is 1ps and your clock cycle could be any number of ticks. For example, a clock cycle of 1ns corresponds to 1000 ticks.
