Refactor: simplify A5 HBG scheduling and compact shared state - #2989
A5 HBG shared state contains unused fields and oversized cache-line spacing, while all resident scheduler variants are instantiated in one translation unit. This change compacts shared state, separates concurrently accessed atomics, and compiles resident variants independently. SPMD, MIX, sync_start, and defer_wait retain the shared admission and completion protocols.
Retained changes
Data layout: use 64-byte cache lines, remove dead fields, and reorder members without reserved placeholders. TaskControl shrinks from 640 to 384 bytes, WorkerContext from 1024 to 384, TaskTrace from 384 to 320, and TicketQueue from 256 to 128. Block claiming, completion, and claim-seal observation retain separate cache lines.
Scheduling and responsibility split: precompute static DAG CSR on the Host and update remaining dependency counts on device. Plan ordinary SPMD block prefixes independently for AIC and AIV on the Host, then use the prefix modulo the eligible population for small-grid membership. The prefix fits in the existing 64-byte admission record; interleaved resource types do not consume each other's positions. Preserve general topology, deferred completion, MIX, and synchronous-start behavior.
Build isolation: instantiate ordinary/native and profiled/unprofiled residents in four translation units sharing one implementation. Keep the completion resolver static noinline, with compile-time checks that its local argument types require at most 8-byte alignment.
Benchmarking and diagnostics: remove the benchmark Host barrier's 10 ms polling sleep and enforce one current diagnostic contract. Execution identities use strict v1; native protocol v10/v11 requires cooperative admission, 64-byte seals, and the independently audited per-resource prefix. Historical and experimental formats are rejected. Preserve upstream Add: capture task arguments with the A5 HBG AICore scheduler #2750 argument capture after moving resident code. Its now-live async_reserved field becomes async_output_capture_refused, retaining refusal and per-dispatch reset semantics.
The AICore walkthrough, Graph/async contracts and SPMD implementation reference describe the current layout, CSR/remaining and wake-list fallback, bounded membership, resident compilation boundaries, and v10/v11 diagnostics. Source anchors and cache-line ownership tables are synchronized; historical experiments keep their original measurements.
The final implementation excludes the experimental independent-block queue/dispatch/completion path, Host fanout sorting, partial payload writeback, cold-error outlining, and two membership-bitmap candidates that showed no useful latency benefit.
All 18 measured scenarios
Acceptance prioritizes full three-layer and MoE latency; this is not a universal speedup. All 18 scenarios below were measured, with output checks and diagnostic audits.
This is the completed historical comparison of main 18e1841a2 against retained implementation 60c38dcd6: devices 1/7 under one device-lock allocation, the same barrier-corrected runner, one warmup, and five L0 samples per variant. Values are median device wall time in milliseconds, shown as rank0 / rank1.
Several DSL attention cases regress by approximately 4–6%, and DSL three-layer latency also regresses. An isolated same-lock A/B/A removing bounded membership changed lib MoE from approximately 3.8 → 6.6 → 3.5 ms and lib three-layer latency from approximately 21.8 → 27.4 → 20.5 ms. The policy is retained under the agreed macro-workload priority, with its costs disclosed. The dependency-counter experiment had mixed results; its retention also rests on Host/device responsibility separation, not a claim of consistent acceleration.
The full 18-case performance comparison has not been rerun after rebasing onto current main 75aec55a5. The final rebased code passed the targeted correctness, argument-capture, and noinline checks listed below. The historical table must not be read as a comparison against that newer main, and gains from upstream #2977/#2750/#2714/#2985 are not attributed to this PR.
L0 device wall includes initialization, teardown, and cross-rank waiting. L1 gap analysis includes scheduling, synchronization, resource, and peer waits; it is not exclusive scalar instruction time. This PR does not claim to achieve the original sub-8 ms pure-scheduling target. See the complete measurements, retention rationale, and measurement limits.
The linked issue evidence narrows the reproduced trigger to an alignas(16) stack Metadata object passed by reference to an outlined scheduler_record_dispatch_error. This resolver does not take a Metadata reference. Its local argument types have natural alignment of at most 8 bytes, enforced by static_assert, and scheduler_record_dispatch_error remains inline. The actual release ELF contains eight LOCAL resolver instances and no outlined dispatch-error or plain Metadata-reference callee.
For the same native_profiled AIV translation unit, retaining noinline completed compilation in 160.422 s; removing it had not completed at the 300.118 s timeout. This supports the build-cost decision, not a device-speedup claim. The final release build passes the issue's exact burst256_mask6 reproducer for ten L0 rounds and two L3 rounds. This does not establish universal compiler safety or fully resolve the CCEC issue.
Validation
Current head 47defdc86: all 13 automatic CI checks passed; only documentation deployment and the optional CodeRabbit check were skipped. Network1 passed on the first attempt.
Current repair: 111 related A5 HBG C++ targets passed, including interleaved AIC/AIV membership over 108 workers, variable block widths, wraparound, general topology, MIX/sync_start and epoch reset. The two new membership regressions failed before the fix.
Current diagnostic contract: 1,234 Python tests passed across execution identities, native protocol/causality/Graph, failed-run evidence and the swimlane converter; another 252 CSA graph-contract tests passed. A negative test established that the pre-fix reader wrongly accepted independent-block evidence as a current cooperative capture. Historical positive-format matrices were removed; noncurrent schemas are explicitly rejected.
Current simulation: eight targeted Graph/defer_wait/MIX/sync_start scenes passed, and six Graph/MIX/defer_wait cases passed with L4 collection. Changed-file pre-commit checks and mkdocs build --strict passed.
Rebased onto 75aec55a5; retain upstream's idle-backoff cap of 128 in the extracted resident implementation. The latest main addition touches TMR only; the validated HBG code is unchanged by that final rebase.
Earlier hardware validation covered the exact [Bug] A5 HBG：查明取消内联导致 MIX 失败的根因，并根治 AIC/AIV 执行器编译过慢 #2973burst256_mask6 reproducer (ten L0 and two L3 rounds), Graph/defer_wait/MIX/sync_start, and full/hybrid argument capture. These results predate this membership repair and are not presented as current-head hardware results.
Historical full matrix: 72 rank-output checks and 144 L1/L3 capture audits passed. The later rejected bitmap candidate had 24 rank-output checks and 48 capture audits. The complete 18-row table above remains historical.
No new hardware performance comparison is claimed for this repair. The queued comparison was canceled before execution; acceptance focuses on correctness, targeted simulation and current-head CI.
Startup-abort targets link all four resident translation units. Network1 CI prints the local pytest log tail on child failure while preserving its exit status.
The change revises A5 HBG scheduler layouts and protocol versions, adds Host-planned dependency counters and completion handling, narrows eligible-worker membership for selected SPMD tasks, and extracts resident dispatch into specialized build variants. It also updates async completion layouts, tests, benchmark tooling, and investigation documentation.

Scheduler and graph structures move to revised 64-byte alignment and compact layouts. Graph-view and native-graph formats advance, reserved fields are removed from several contracts, and layout assertions and design documentation are updated.
Host setup plans and initializes dependency counts and producer-to-consumer fanout. Bootstrap routes tasks from remaining dependency counts, and completion resolution decrements successor counts and appends newly ready tasks.
Eligible membership for ordinary non-MIX, non-sync SPMD tasks is selected as a cyclic subset when block count is smaller than the eligible-worker set. The protocol tools add independent-task rules and support newer protocol versions, including 64-byte admission and close-seal alignment from v14.
Async record alignment and several record sizes change to 64-byte units. The output-capture refusal flag replaces the reserved context field and is checked during async kernel registration.
The resident scheduler implementation moves out of aicore_executor.cpp into a shared implementation header. New profiled and unprofiled, ordinary and native explicit-instantiation units select AIC and AIV variants. The Host completion loop also drops poll-timing collection and related run-control reporting.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.
Keep one cooperative SPMD dispatch path, bounded per-resource cohorts and
Host-planned forward dependency counters. Compile resident variants
independently and bound completion-resolver inlining. Guard local
resolver arguments against the over-alignment hazard reported in #2973.
Remove dead shared fields and use 64-byte cache lines. Isolate concurrent
block claiming, retirement and claim-seal observation; TaskControl is
384 bytes versus 640 on the baseline. Preserve deferred completion,
MIX/sync admission and strict current diagnostic contracts.
Remove the benchmark barrier timer that introduced up to 10 ms of EP
launch skew. Document retained tradeoffs and measured alternatives:
bounded cohorts improve lib MoE/full-layer latency at a cost to several
DSL attention scenes; layout and build isolation have separate value.
Validate CPU, protocol, simulation and device contracts, the complete
18-case historical comparison, and the #2973 burst256 MIX reproducer at
L0 and L3. Distinguish historical measurements from the rebased main;
no claim of universal latency improvement or compiler-bug resolution.
Pin live diagnostic fixtures to the current format and 64-byte layout,
reject noncurrent captures, and link all resident variants in the
startup-abort fixture. Surface failed network1 pytest output in CI.
Synchronize the AICore walkthrough, Graph/async dependency contracts,
SPMD wire layouts and source anchors with the retained implementation.
Plan ordinary SPMD membership from per-resource block prefixes so
interleaved AIC/AIV tasks cannot alias a fixed subset of workers. Store
the prefix within the existing 64-byte admission record and audit it
independently from frozen task shapes. Keep MIX and sync_start intact.
Use strict execution identity v1 and current native protocol v10/v11.
Remove historical format branches and keep producer, reader, fixtures
and documentation on one contract. Record the current-only policy in
the agent guide.
@hw-native-sys-bot Both P2 items are addressed in the current head, with detailed replies in their review threads. Execution identities use strict v1, and the native exporter/reader share the current v10/v11 contract; historical compatibility branches were removed under the policy recorded in AGENTS.md. Small-grid membership now uses Host-planned AIC/AIV block prefixes, with failing-before/passing-after regressions for interleaved resource types and variable widths. Targeted C++, Python and L4 simulation checks passed; the remaining network1 CI job is running.
