Implements M6: dependency_manager.v tracks a table of node
descriptors (node_id/state/required_dependencies/resolved_
dependencies/producer_ids -- §10's exact field list), incrementing a
waiting node's resolved count whenever one of its listed producers
completes, transitioning it to READY once resolved==required, and
dispatching ready nodes to the Neural Director (M5) one at a time via
a backpressure-safe valid/ready interface.
Verified with Verilator on a small hand-built DAG: node0/node1 have no
dependencies (dispatch immediately); node2 depends on BOTH node0 AND
node1 ("dipendenze multiple") and stays WAITING until both complete,
confirmed via an explicit negative check after only one resolves;
node3 depends on node0 ALONE, demonstrating a single producer
("node0") satisfying two different consumers' dependencies
("risultati condivisi... piu' consumer") -- node3 fully, node2
partially. 4/4 tests pass.
Scope for this milestone (decisions.log DEC-0008): dependency
COUNTING/readiness only, no direct producer-to-consumer value
forwarding (§11 frames that as a "quando possibile" optimization, not
a correctness requirement -- deferred until real bandwidth
measurements justify it) and no node-slot reclamation after dispatch
(not exercised by any scenario built so far).
Real synthesis: 0 CHECK problems, 763 LUT4/474 FF/0 DSP/0 CCU2C. Real
place&route (module fits the TRELLIS_IO budget as a bare top-level
this time, no harness needed): Fmax 155.30 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.
|
|
- [x] **M6 — Dependency Manager** (`dependency_manager.v`), ready/waiting
|
|
queue, dependency counters, wake-up, producer tracking. 4/4 test
|
|
PASS (dipendenze multiple + produttore condiviso/piu' consumer).
|
|
Fmax 155.30 MHz. Forwarding di valori e riuso slot rimandati
|
|
(`logs/decisions.log` DEC-0008).
|
|
- [ ] **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.
