`timescale 1ns/1ps // ================================================================ // C.2 CERTIFICATION + BUG-003 REGRESSION TEST (certification // campaign, docs/validation/bugs.md / docs/validation/02-runtime-width.md). // // TESTS 1-3 (CERTIFIED): early termination for valid n_inputs_real // values is real -- a "poison" region at indices 16-31 with // saturating x=w=100 would corrupt the result if the RTL ever read // past the real limit. It doesn't. These three checks fail the run // (errors counted) if early termination breaks. // // TEST 4 (n_inputs_real=0), now FIXED. Unlike BUG-002 (N_INPUTS=0, a // compile-time parameter), this runtime-reachable twin // (n_inputs_real=0, exactly the port an SPI host drives via SET_BASE // sel=7, docs/FPGA-NeuralNetwork-Engine.md §8.1) previously produced // inconsistent, unisolated symptoms across nearly-identical repeated // runs -- sometimes a clean hang, sometimes a silent full-width // computation instead of zero elements. See // docs/validation/02-runtime-width.md §2.3 for the full investigation // record. // // Fix (rtl/neuron_parallel.v, inside `if (start && !busy)`): // finishing <= (n_inputs_real == 16'h0); // reuses the existing correct "finishing" completion path instead of // entering the MAC loop at all. For zero real inputs the mathematical // result is y = activation(bias); with bias=0 and ACT_RELU here, // expect_y=0. This test now hard-asserts that TEST 4 completes // quickly with the correct value, same scoring as TESTS 1-3. // ================================================================ module tb; localparam DATA_WIDTH = 8; localparam N_INPUTS = 32; localparam PARALLEL = 8; localparam ACC_WIDTH = 32; reg clk; initial begin clk = 1'b0; forever #5 clk = ~clk; end reg rst, start; reg signed [DATA_WIDTH*N_INPUTS-1:0] x_bus, w_bus; reg [1:0] activation; reg [15:0] n_inputs_real; wire busy, done; wire signed [DATA_WIDTH-1:0] y; integer cyc, i; integer errors; neuron_parallel #( .DATA_WIDTH(DATA_WIDTH), .N_INPUTS(N_INPUTS), .PARALLEL(PARALLEL), .ACC_WIDTH(ACC_WIDTH) ) dut ( .clk(clk), .rst(rst), .start(start), .x_bus(x_bus), .w_bus(w_bus), .bias(8'sd0), .activation(activation), .n_inputs_real(n_inputs_real), .y(y), .busy(busy), .done(done) ); task automatic run_case( input [15:0] nreal, input signed [7:0] expect_y, input integer max_cycles ); begin n_inputs_real = nreal; rst = 1; start = 0; @(posedge clk); @(posedge clk); rst = 0; @(posedge clk); start = 1; @(posedge clk); start = 0; cyc = 0; while (!done && cyc < 200) begin @(posedge clk); cyc = cyc + 1; end if (!done) begin $display("n_inputs_real=%0d: FAIL -- expected done, got none in 200 cycles", nreal); errors = errors + 1; end else if (y !== expect_y) begin $display("n_inputs_real=%0d: FAIL -- y=%0d expected=%0d", nreal, y, expect_y); errors = errors + 1; end else if (cyc > max_cycles) begin $display("n_inputs_real=%0d: FAIL -- y=%0d correct but took %0d cycles (expected <= %0d -- suspiciously slow for this case)", nreal, y, cyc, max_cycles); errors = errors + 1; end else begin $display("n_inputs_real=%0d: PASS -- y=%0d cycles=%0d (no over-read into poison region)", nreal, y, cyc); end end endtask initial begin errors = 0; activation = 2'd1; // ACT_RELU // real region (0-15): x=w=1 -> contributes 1 each if read for (i = 0; i < 16; i = i + 1) begin x_bus[i*8 +: 8] = 8'sd1; w_bus[i*8 +: 8] = 8'sd1; end // "poison" region (16-31): x=w=100 -> would saturate to 127 if // ever read past the real limit for (i = 16; i < 32; i = i + 1) begin x_bus[i*8 +: 8] = 8'sd100; w_bus[i*8 +: 8] = 8'sd100; end $display("--- TEST 1: n_inputs_real=16 -- early termination must NOT read the poison region ---"); run_case(16'd16, 8'sd16, 200); $display("--- TEST 2: n_inputs_real=8 -- smaller early termination ---"); run_case(16'd8, 8'sd8, 200); $display("--- TEST 3: n_inputs_real=32 (full) -- sanity: DOES read the poison region, saturates ---"); run_case(16'd32, 8'sd127, 200); $display("--- TEST 4 (BUG-003 fix): n_inputs_real=0 -- must complete quickly via the 'finishing' fast path, y=activation(bias)=0 ---"); run_case(16'd0, 8'sd0, 8); if (errors == 0) $display("ALL TESTS PASSED (early termination certified correct for valid n_inputs_real values, TESTS 1-3; TEST 4 confirms BUG-003 fix -- n_inputs_real=0 completes quickly with y=activation(bias))"); else $display("FAILED: %0d unexpected result(s) -- see messages above", errors); $finish; end endmodule
