Implements M5: neural_director.v dispatches job descriptors to whichever of N_SLOTS (memory_manager, neural_processor) pairs is currently free (first-free scheduling per §9's initial policy), with a parametric-depth ready-queue FIFO for jobs arriving faster than slots can absorb them. Scope for this milestone (see decisions.log DEC-0007): a reduced 4-state FSM (DIR_IDLE/SCAN_READY/ALLOCATE/ERROR) rather than §9's full 8-state baseline -- dependency tracking, the waiting queue, and wake-up are §10's explicit responsibility (Dependency Manager, M6, not yet built), and slot-completion detection runs as an always-active per-slot tracker rather than a dedicated FSM state, for the same reason DEC-0002 already gave for the Neural Processor's own FSM (gating concurrent per-unit progress behind one shared state kills throughput). Verified with Verilator (N_SLOTS=2, each slot backed by its own independent behavioral memory rather than sharing V1's real PSRAM -- M4 already proved that path for one slot; this milestone's own concern is scheduling across multiple slots): 4/4 tests pass -- 3 jobs submitted to 2 slots (first two dispatch immediately, third correctly queues until a slot frees), and a deliberate burst that forces the ready queue to genuinely fill and recover. Real synthesis: 0 CHECK problems, 382 LUT4/366 FF/4 CCU2C/0 DSP. Real place&route (via a synthesis-only timing harness, same TRELLIS_IO pin-budget reason as M2/M4): Fmax 250.50 MHz, PASS at 80MHz.

# 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).
|
|
- [x] **M2 — Processor Array** (`neural_processor_array.v`). 1/2/4/8
|
|
processor testati (sim concorrenza reale + sintesi/P&R reali).
|
|
Fmax sempre PASS a 80MHz (159.11→134.70 MHz). Scoperta: il DSP
|
|
(MULT18X18D), non LUT/FF, satura per primo (88% a N=8) — vedi
|
|
`logs/decisions.log` DEC-0005.
|
|
- [x] **M3 — Buffers** (`activation_buffer.v`, `weight_buffer.v`,
|
|
`result_buffer.v`). Tutti inferiscono DP16KD reale (10/10 test,
|
|
6/6 config sintetizzate 0 problemi). Scoperta: il costo BRAM di
|
|
weight_buffer e' guidato da P_IN (larghezza), non da DEPTH.
|
|
- [x] **M4 — Memory Manager** (`memory_manager.v`, `prefetch_engine.v`),
|
|
backend PSRAM V1 riusato SENZA MODIFICHE. End-to-end reale (3/3
|
|
job PASS) con vero neural_processor + vera catena PSRAM V1.
|
|
3 bug RTL trovati/risolti (`logs/errors.log` ERR-0006). Fmax
|
|
165.86 MHz.
|
|
- [x] **M5 — Neural Director** (`neural_director.v`), scheduling
|
|
first-free. 4/4 test PASS (dispatch + coda + backpressure reale
|
|
su N_SLOTS=2). FSM ridotta a 4 stati, dependency rimandata a M6
|
|
(`logs/decisions.log` DEC-0007). Fmax 250.50 MHz.
|
|
- [ ] **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.
