dataflow_core.v integrates dependency_manager (M6) -> neural_director (M5) -> N_SLOTS x (memory_manager (M4) + neural_processor (M1)) for the first time. A slot's completion (via neural_director's new slot_node_id tracking, an additive port) feeds back as a producer_done event to dependency_manager, waking up any node that depended on it - closing the dataflow loop without external glue. Verified end-to-end (Verilator) on a 3-node DAG: two independent nodes plus a third depending on both, confirmed to dispatch only after both genuinely complete via real neural_processor computation. 4/4 PASS. Real synthesis + nextpnr-ecp5 P&R via a synthesis-only timing harness (bare per-slot backend ports exceed the LFE5U-45F's TRELLIS_IO budget, same pattern as ERR-0005): N_SLOTS=2 -> 165.15 MHz, N_SLOTS=4 -> 133.19 MHz, both PASS at 80MHz, 0 synthesis problems. Scope explicitly deferred to M8 (DEC-0009): M3's BRAM buffers not wired in yet, per-slot Memory Backend Interface ports not arbitrated to one shared PSRAM master yet - both need real measured data before committing to a design, not guessed at here. Logged: simulation/synthesis/timing/benchmark/decisions (DEC-0009)/ experiments (EXP-0008)/errors (ERR-0007, a Yosys chparam-ordering build quirk, not an RTL bug)/development.log, ROADMAP.md updated.

[2026-09-05] EXP-0001/EXP-0002 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_neural_processor.v
|
|
test: 7 cases (16/32/8/8/8/8/64-input jobs; ACT_NONE + ACT_RELU;
|
|
extreme INT8 saturation; back-to-back zero-idle-gap tiles)
|
|
vectors: regular positive, mixed-sign cancellation, extreme INT8
|
|
(-128,-127,-1,0,1,126,127,127 in one 8-lane tile), back-to-back
|
|
jobs, 8-tile (64-input) job
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing) -- see decisions.log
|
|
DEC-0004 for why Icarus v13.0 is not trusted for this testbench
|
|
cycles: not separately profiled at this milestone (throughput/stall
|
|
cycle counting deferred to M9 per §22)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 7/7 PASS (ACC_WIDTH=32); 7/7 PASS (ACC_WIDTH=24, EXP-0002)
|
|
bit-exact result: V1.y === V2.result_data for every case, both widths
|
|
stall cycles / memory wait / utilization: N/A (no Memory Manager yet,
|
|
M1 operands fed directly by testbench per the roadmap)
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0003 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_neural_processor_array.v
|
|
(N_PROCESSORS=4)
|
|
test: 7 cases (single-processor sanity; 4-way same-cycle concurrent
|
|
launch with different tile counts; staggered-start 2-processor test)
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 7/7 PASS
|
|
bit-exact result: N/A at this milestone (hand-computed expected
|
|
values, arithmetic itself already bit-exact-certified vs V1 at M1)
|
|
concurrency: confirmed genuine -- in the staggered test, the
|
|
later-launched, shorter job (processor 1) completes BEFORE the
|
|
earlier-launched, longer job (processor 0), proving independent
|
|
progress rather than serialization.
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0004 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_buffers.v
|
|
test: 10 cases across activation_buffer/weight_buffer/result_buffer
|
|
vectors: extreme INT8 (-128, 127, -100, 100), regular values, full
|
|
64-bit tile round-trip (weight_buffer), re-reads confirming earlier
|
|
writes undisturbed
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 10/10 PASS
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0005 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_memory_manager.v
|
|
test: 3 end-to-end jobs (3-tile/saturating, 1-tile/non-saturating,
|
|
5-tile/steady-state-swap), real V1 PSRAM backend chain (unmodified),
|
|
real M1 neural_processor
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 3/3 PASS
|
|
bit-exact result: PSRAM-read-back result byte matches hand-computed
|
|
expectation in every case (independent oracle, not derived from the
|
|
RTL under test)
|
|
cycles: 446 (3 tiles), 166 (1 tile), 728 (5 tiles) -- real PSRAM
|
|
latency dominates, not memory_manager's own control overhead
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0006 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_neural_director.v
|
|
test: 4 cases (3-jobs-2-slots first-free dispatch + queueing,
|
|
backpressure fill/recover)
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 4/4 PASS
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0007 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_dependency_manager.v
|
|
test: 4 cases on a 4-node DAG (2 independent + 1 dual-dependency +
|
|
1 single-dependency-shared-producer)
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 4/4 PASS
|
|
|
|
[2026-09-05] EXP-0008 -- hardware/v2/sim/tb_dataflow_core.v
|
|
test: full end-to-end M1-M6 integration through dataflow_core.v (M7),
|
|
a 3-node DAG (node0/node1 independent, node2 depends on BOTH) run
|
|
through the REAL dependency_manager -> neural_director -> N_SLOTS x
|
|
(memory_manager + neural_processor) chain for the first time, each
|
|
slot backed by its own independent behavioral byte memory
|
|
simulator: Verilator 5.050 (--binary --timing)
|
|
PASS/FAIL: 4/4 PASS -- node0=48, node1=8 (both real neural_processor
|
|
computations via the full stack), node2=40 dispatched only after
|
|
BOTH node0 and node1 genuinely completed (continuously polled every
|
|
cycle up to completion, not just checked at the end) -- the
|
|
dependency-manager-to-director wake-up loop closes correctly
|
|
end-to-end with real hardware in between, not just in isolation
|
|
(M6's own testbench already proved the wake-up logic alone)
