feat(v2): scaffold hardware/v1 frozen baseline + M1 Neural Processor
Begins the V2 Neural Multiprocessor / Dataflow architecture per docs/v2-description.md, per explicit user request to freeze V1 and start V2 development, copying from V1 what's needed. Scaffold: - hardware/v1/: byte-exact, read-only copy of the current V1 codebase (rtl, testbenches, tools, constraints, a representative subset of synthesis results, and reference docs) -- verified identical via diff/cmp against the live top-level tree before being made filesystem-read-only. The live top-level tree is untouched and remains the project's "production" V1 (see hardware/v1/README.md and hardware/v2/logs/decisions.log DEC-0001 for why copy-not-move). - hardware/v2/: mandatory structure (rtl/sim/constraints/synthesis/ reports/scripts/logs/docs) plus the full logging system required by the spec (development/architecture/simulation/synthesis/timing/ benchmark/decisions/experiments/errors.log). M1 -- Neural Processor (hardware/v2/rtl/neural_processor.v): - 8-stage pipelined perceptron unit (P_IN=8): input align, 8 multipliers, 3-level adder tree, accumulator, bias+activation, INT8 saturation. Genuine 1-tile/cycle throughput, not just a wider combinational datapath. - 7-state FSM (NP_IDLE..NP_ERROR per docs/v2-description.md §6, with 4 baseline states merged into NP_WAIT_OPERANDS -- see decisions.log DEC-0002); valid/ready/data/last stream interfaces per §7. - Bit-exact vs the frozen hardware/v1/rtl/neuron_parallel.v + mac8.v + mac_unit.v: 7/7 tests pass (hardware/v2/sim/tb_neural_processor.v), covering regular/mixed-sign/extreme-INT8 vectors, both activations, a zero-idle-gap back-to-back-tiles throughput check, and an 8-tile job -- verified with Verilator (see below for why). - Real synthesis + place&route (Yosys + nextpnr-ecp5): 0 CHECK problems, Fmax 183.12 MHz at ACC_WIDTH=32 (PASS at 80MHz, ~3x V1's isolated PARALLEL=8 Fmax of 61.71 MHz) and 176.21 MHz at ACC_WIDTH=24 (a user-requested comparison experiment, also bit-exact-verified; see experiments.log EXP-0001/EXP-0002 and benchmark.log). Three real bugs found and resolved during M1 development (full diagnostic record in errors.log): - Two independent, reproducible Icarus Verilog v13.0 scheduling defects (ERR-0001, ERR-0002) that silently produced wrong simulation results for standard sequential Verilog -- confirmed via Verilator 5.050 giving correct results on the same minimal repros. Verilator is now the trusted simulator for hardware/v2/ (decisions.log DEC-0004); Icarus's affected protocol-violation check was removed from the RTL and deferred architecturally to the Neural Director (DEC-0003) rather than chased further. - One real RTL bug (ERR-0003): last0 wasn't gated like valid0, letting a "last tile" tag leak into the pipeline ahead of its actual valid tile on back-to-back jobs. Fixed and verified. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013xXuuRUWZScuo1DeYJxs3v

# FPGA-Neural V2 — stato roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
Fonte del mandato: `docs/v2-description.md` (root del repository). Baseline
|
||||
funzionale/numerica/bit-exact: `hardware/v1/` (frozen, sola lettura — vedi
|
||||
`hardware/v1/README.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
Legenda: `[ ]` non iniziato · `[~]` in corso · `[x]` completo (sim+synth+timing
|
||||
reali, non solo scritto).
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] **M1 — Neural Processor** (`hardware/v2/rtl/neural_processor.v`, P8).
|
||||
Bit-exact vs V1 (7/7 test, Verilator), pipeline a 8 stadi
|
||||
funzionante, throughput reale (1 tile/ciclo). Sintesi reale: 0
|
||||
problemi CHECK, Fmax 183.12 MHz (ACC_WIDTH=32) — vedi
|
||||
`logs/experiments.log` EXP-0001/EXP-0002, `logs/errors.log` per 3
|
||||
bug reali trovati e risolti (2 del toolchain Icarus, 1 RTL).
|
||||
- [ ] **M2 — Processor Array** (`neural_processor_array.v`). Test 1/2/4/8
|
||||
processor, misurare timing/risorse/throughput/utilization.
|
||||
- [ ] **M3 — Buffers** (`activation_buffer.v`, `weight_buffer.v`,
|
||||
`result_buffer.v`).
|
||||
- [ ] **M4 — Memory Manager** (`memory_manager.v`, `prefetch_engine.v`),
|
||||
backend PSRAM V1 riusato senza modifiche.
|
||||
- [ ] **M5 — Neural Director** (`neural_director.v`), scheduling first-free.
|
||||
- [ ] **M6 — Dependency Manager** (`dependency_manager.v`), ready/waiting
|
||||
queue, dependency counters, wake-up, producer tracking.
|
||||
- [ ] **M7 — Dataflow Core** (`dataflow_core.v`), integrazione completa.
|
||||
- [ ] **M8 — PSRAM integration**, controller V1 non modificato, misura reale.
|
||||
- [ ] **M9 — Full benchmark**, tabella V1 vs V2 (§32 del mandato).
|
||||
- [ ] **M10 — Optimization**, solo sulla base dei dati raccolti in M1-M9.
|
||||
|
||||
## Log
|
||||
|
||||
Vedi `hardware/v2/logs/` (`development.log` per la cronologia di sessione,
|
||||
`decisions.log` per le decisioni architetturali con motivazione,
|
||||
`experiments.log` per ogni EXP-XXXX end-to-end).
|
||||
|
||||
## Regole non negoziabili attive (§34 del mandato, per riferimento rapido)
|
||||
|
||||
1. V1 (`hardware/v1/`) rimane intatta — mai modificata.
|
||||
2. V2 vive esclusivamente sotto `hardware/v2/`.
|
||||
3. Nessun risultato inventato: THEORETICAL vs SIMULATED vs SYNTHESIZED vs
|
||||
POST-P&R sempre etichettati esplicitamente.
|
||||
4. Ogni modifica/esperimento/decisione registrata nei log, mai persa.
|
||||
5. Ogni esperimento ha un ID univoco, mai riutilizzato — anche i FAIL restano.
