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.

Fmax: 183.12 MHz -- PASS at 80 MHz (real place&route measurement)
|
|
Critical path: job_ready -> TRELLIS_IO output pad (i.e. the design's
|
|
own logic is NOT the bottleneck at this Fmax -- an unconstrained
|
|
output pin dominates; a real system-level Fmax will differ once
|
|
this signal is consumed on-chip instead of driven to a pad in
|
|
isolation). Log: hardware/v2/synthesis/neural_processor_p8/nextpnr.log

Same command as above, ACC_WIDTH=24 build.
|

Fmax: 176.21 MHz -- PASS at 80 MHz (real place&route measurement)
|
|
Delta vs ACC_WIDTH=32: -6.91 MHz (-3.8%) despite FEWER resources --
|
|
attributed to placement noise, not a real architectural effect
|
|
(no seed sweep run to confirm either way -- see experiments.log

[2026-09-05] EXP-0003 -- N_PROCESSORS sweep (P_IN=8), real nextpnr-ecp5
|
|
--45k --package CABGA381 --speed 8 --freq 80 --lpf-allow-unconstrained
|
|
N=1: Fmax=159.11 MHz PASS MULT18X18D 8/72 (11%)
|
|
N=2: Fmax=149.59 MHz PASS MULT18X18D 16/72 (22%)

|
|
N=8: Fmax=134.70 MHz PASS MULT18X18D 64/72 (88%)
|
|
TRELLIS_IO stays at 18/245 (7%) throughout (harness has only
|
|
clk/rst/seed/checksum as real pins, by design -- see ERR-0005).
|
|
See decisions.log DEC-0005: DSP, not Fmax or LUT/FF, is the resource
|
|
that will first prevent scaling N_PROCESSORS further at P_IN=8.

[2026-09-05] EXP-0004 -- default-depth buffer configs, real nextpnr-ecp5

weight_buffer (D=512): Fmax=339.67 MHz PASS
|

All far above the 80MHz target -- buffers are not a timing concern in

isolation at these depths.
