`timescale 1ns/1ps // ============================================================ // M1 testbench (docs/v2-description.md §20/§21): hardware/v2/rtl/ // neural_processor.v vs the frozen V1 golden reference // (hardware/v1/rtl/neuron_parallel.v + mac8.v + mac_unit.v), // instantiated side by side and driven with IDENTICAL operands, then // compared bit-exact. // // V1's neuron_parallel presents its whole N_INPUTS-wide input/weight // bus at once (single `start` pulse); V2's neural_processor streams // P_IN-wide tiles with a valid/ready/last handshake. This testbench // bridges the two: it holds the full N_INPUTS-wide vector locally and // feeds it to V1 in one shot while streaming it to V2 tile-by-tile, // then asserts V1.y === V2.result_data for every case. // // Coverage (§20): // - functional: regular positive/negative/mixed vectors, several // N_INPUTS/tile counts; // - extreme INT8 (§20 list): -128, -127, -1, 0, 1, 126, 127, and an // all-poison saturating case; // - both activations (ACT_NONE, ACT_RELU); // - back-to-back jobs with NO idle gap (throughput check: a new // job's first tile is presented the very cycle after the previous // job's NP_DONE), proving tiles can stream without the outer FSM // stalling between jobs. // // NOT covered here: operand-arrival protocol misuse (an operand sent // while this processor cannot consume it). See // hardware/v2/logs/decisions.log DEC-0003 -- that check was removed // from neural_processor.v after triggering a reproducible Icarus // Verilog v13.0 evaluation bug (hardware/v2/logs/errors.log ERR-0002) // and is deferred to the Neural Director (M5), the actual owner of // operand-issue arbitration. // // Icarus Verilog v13.0 toolchain note (hardware/v2/logs/errors.log // ERR-0001): a task (or any named `begin:label` block) whose FIRST // executable statement is a blocking assignment, called immediately // after a time-consuming statement in the caller with no intervening // `@(posedge clk)`, can silently fail to make that assignment visible // to other modules at the next clock edge (reproduced in isolation // down to a 3-line task; fixed by always beginning such a task with an // explicit `@(posedge clk);` before its first assignment). run_case // below follows this rule -- the same defensive convention already // used throughout hardware/v1/sim's own tasks (e.g. // neuron_parallel_tb.v's run_neuron), which is why V1's own tests were // never affected. // ============================================================ module tb;
