ADR: bilingual structure — EN canonical in adr/, KO mirror in adr-ko/
Establish English as the canonical ADR language with Korean translations held in a parallel docs/adr-ko/ tree as derived artifacts (1:1 mirror). Promotion from adr-proposed/ to adr/ now writes English to adr/ and the Korean to adr-ko/; bidirectional sync rule documented in CLAUDE.md. - Migrate 30 ADRs in docs/adr/: 28 Korean-only translated to English, 2 bilingual pairs (ADR-0020, ADR-0023) consolidated (.en.md suffix dropped). ADR-0023 EN regenerated against KO source which had newer HW Realization Notes (D16-D23) section. - docs/adr-history/ left frozen by design (transitional state). - CLAUDE.md (Part 2): update ADR Lifecycle for 4-folder layout, mark docs/adr-ko/ as a Derived Artifact, add ADR Translation Discipline section covering bidirectional sync, conflict resolution (EN wins), and proposed-language freedom. - tools/verify_adr_lang_pairs.py: new verification tool checking pair completeness, filename mirroring, ADR-ID match, Status byte-equality. Pre-commit hook intentionally not added; run on demand or in CI. - tests/test_verify_adr_lang_pairs.py: 11 cases including CRLF/LF normalization, em-dash title separator, underscore-slug edge case.

# ADR-0017: Cube NOC and HBM Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The CUBE-level NOC is a 2D router mesh that carries every intra-cube
|
||||
request: PE-to-HBM data, PE-to-PE traffic, command paths
|
||||
(M_CPU↔PE_CPU), shared SRAM access, and inter-cube UCIe traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
The CUBE's HBM is exposed through per-PE controller endpoints attached
|
||||
to PE routers. This per-PE partitioning makes local-vs-remote HBM
|
||||
distinguishable by mesh distance: a PE's own HBM partition sits at its
|
||||
own router (switching overhead only); another PE's HBM partition is
|
||||
reachable by mesh hops to that PE's router.
|
||||
|
||||
Two channel-mapping modes are supported in the design space:
|
||||
|
||||
- **n:1 (default, implemented)** — each PE's HBM partition aggregates
|
||||
`channels_per_pe` pseudo-channels into one endpoint. Effective
|
||||
per-PE BW = N × per-channel BW.
|
||||
- **1:1 (future)** — each PE router decomposes into per-channel
|
||||
mini-routers; per-channel BW contention is modeled directly.
|
||||
|
||||
In both modes the per-PE effective BW is identical; only the connectivity
|
||||
granularity differs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
### D1. 2D router mesh
|
||||
|
||||
Each cube contains a 2D mesh of NOC routers generated by `mesh_gen.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Node naming: `sip{S}.cube{C}.r{row}c{col}` (e.g., `sip0.cube0.r0c0`).
|
||||
- Implementation: `forwarding_v1`. NOC `overhead_ns = 0`.
|
||||
- Default 6×6 grid (sized from PE corner placement + UCIe attachment
|
||||
count); larger PE counts scale the grid up.
|
||||
- HBM exclusion zone: center rows/columns are excluded where HBM die
|
||||
physically occupies space (e.g., r2c2, r2c3, r3c2, r3c3 for a 6×6).
|
||||
- Latency = Manhattan distance × `ns_per_mm`.
|
||||
|
||||
### D2. XY routing algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
Deterministic XY routing:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Horizontal segment: route from source X to destination X at source Y.
|
||||
2. Vertical segment: route from destination X at source Y to destination Y.
|
||||
|
||||
Each directed segment carries a unique key:
|
||||
|
||||
- Horizontal: `("H", y_band, x_min, x_max, direction)`
|
||||
- Vertical: `("V", x_band, y_min, y_max, direction)`
|
||||
|
||||
Grid positions are snapped to the router grid, excluding the HBM zone.
|
||||
|
||||
### D3. Per-segment contention model
|
||||
|
||||
Each directed XY segment is a `simpy.Resource(capacity=1)`. Transactions
|
||||
sharing a segment (same row or column band, same direction) contend for
|
||||
the resource — modelling link-level serialization in a wormhole-routed
|
||||
mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
With no contention, NOC traversal latency equals Manhattan distance ×
|
||||
`ns_per_mm`. Under contention, SimPy's resource scheduling adds queueing
|
||||
delay.
|
||||
|
||||
### D4. NOC attachment points (per-PE HBM partition)
|
||||
|
||||
Every PE router carries three attachments: `pe{idx}.dma`, `pe{idx}.cpu`,
|
||||
and `pe{idx}.hbm`. The last is the per-PE HBM controller endpoint —
|
||||
`sip{S}.cube{C}.hbm_ctrl.pe{idx}` — which owns one slice of the cube's
|
||||
HBM (one pseudo-channel group; see D8).
|
||||
|
||||
Other attachments:
|
||||
|
||||
- M_CPU and shared SRAM each occupy a dedicated edge router.
|
||||
- UCIe endpoints (N/S/E/W) each expose 4 connection routers distributed
|
||||
along that edge (see D6).

```
|
||||
|
||||
Per-PE HBM partitioning is the key invariant that makes local vs
|
||||
cross-PE HBM distinguishable by mesh distance (see D7).
|
||||
|
||||
### D5. NOC edge bandwidths and distances
|
||||
|
||||
| Connection | BW (GB/s) | Distance | Notes |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | ---------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| PE_DMA → NOC | 256.0 | Physical (PE) | Matches local-HBM aggregate BW |
|
||||
| NOC → PE_CPU | — | 0.0 mm | Command path only |
|
||||
| Router ↔ hbm_ctrl.pe{idx} | 256.0 | 0.0 mm | Per PE router; N × per-channel BW (see D8) |
|
||||
| NOC ↔ M_CPU | — | 0.0 mm | Command path |
|
||||
| NOC ↔ SRAM | 128.0 × 4 | 0.0 mm | 512 GB/s aggregate |
|
||||
| NOC ↔ UCIe conn | 128.0 | 0.0 mm | Per connection; 4 conn per port |
|
||||
|
||||
`0.0 mm` distances reflect the distributed nature of the NOC; actual
|
||||
traversal distance is computed via Manhattan distance within the router
|
||||
grid.
|
||||
|
||||
### D6. UCIe decomposition and inter-cube traffic
|
||||
|
||||
Each of the 4 UCIe ports (N, S, E, W) decomposes into:
|
||||
|
||||
- 1 `ucie-{PORT}` node: UCIe protocol endpoint (`overhead = 8.0 ns`).
|
||||
- 4 `ucie-{PORT}.conn{0-3}` nodes: connection bridges between NOC and UCIe.
|
||||
|
||||
This decomposition gives 4 independent NOC↔UCIe connections per port,
|
||||
each with 128 GB/s bandwidth (512 GB/s aggregate per port).
|
||||
|
||||
Inter-cube traffic path:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Source: PE_DMA → NOC → conn{i} → ucie-{PORT}
|
||||
[UCIe link: 512 GB/s, 1.0mm seam distance]
|
||||
Target: ucie-{PORT} → conn{i} → r{x}c{y} → (mesh hops) → hbm_ctrl.pe{idx}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
UCIe overhead (8.0 ns) is applied at each `ucie-{PORT}` node, so a full
|
||||
crossing incurs 16 ns (TX port + RX port).
|
||||
|
||||
### D7. Data paths through the NOC
|
||||
|
||||
All intra-cube traffic uses the same router mesh — no separate fast
|
||||
paths.
|
||||
|
||||
**Local HBM** (same PE's own partition; 0 mesh hops):
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
PE_DMA → r{x}c{y} → hbm_ctrl.pe{idx} (switching overhead only)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-PE HBM within cube** (target PE's partition, reached by mesh):
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
PE_DMA → r{x}c{y} → (mesh hops) → r{x'}c{y'} → hbm_ctrl.pe{idx'}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example: PE0 (on `r0c0`) accessing PE2's HBM (PE2 on `r1c4`):
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
PE0.pe_dma → r0c0 → r0c1 → r0c2 → r0c3 → r0c4 → r1c4 → hbm_ctrl.pe2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Dijkstra computes the shortest path within the mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-cube HBM** (UCIe traversal):
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
PE_DMA → r{x}c{y} → conn → ucie-{PORT} → [seam] → ucie-{PORT'} → conn
|
||||
→ r{x'}c{y'} → hbm_ctrl.pe{idx'}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Kernel launch command to PE**:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
[from io_noc] → ucie → conn → r{x}c{y} → (mesh) → M_CPU → (mesh) → PE_CPU
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Shared SRAM access**:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
PE_DMA → r{x}c{y} → (mesh) → SRAM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### D8. HBM channel mapping mode
|
||||
|
||||
Channel mapping is configured at cube scope:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cube:
|
||||
memory_map:
|
||||
hbm_mapping_mode: n_to_one # one_to_one | n_to_one
|
||||
hbm_pseudo_channels: 64 # total pseudo-channel count
|
||||
hbm_channels_per_pe: 8 # per-PE local channel count
|
||||
hbm_channel_bw_gbs: 32.0 # per-channel bandwidth (GB/s)
|
||||
hbm_slices_per_cube: 8 # number of per-PE partitions
|
||||
hbm_total_gb_per_cube: 48
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**n:1 mode (default, implemented).** Each PE's HBM partition is a single
|
||||
endpoint `hbm_ctrl.pe{idx}` that aggregates `channels_per_pe` pseudo-
|
||||
channels. The `Router ↔ hbm_ctrl.pe{idx}` link bandwidth equals
|
||||
`channels_per_pe × hbm_channel_bw_gbs`. Pseudo-channels are assumed to
|
||||
interleave; only aggregate per-PE BW is modeled. No separate aggregated
|
||||
router node exists — the per-PE router itself serves that role.
|
||||
|
||||
**1:1 mode (future).** Each PE router decomposes into N channel
|
||||
mini-routers; per-channel routing carries fully-resolved PA + channel ID.
|
||||
A `ChannelSplitter` resolves a logical access to N per-channel physical
|
||||
requests. Per-channel link models BW contention. Cross-PE channel
|
||||
access semantics are deferred to the implementation ADR.
|
||||
|
||||
**BW math (defaults).**
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Value |
|
||||
| ---------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
||||
| pseudo channels per cube | 64 (parameter) |
|
||||
| PEs per cube | 8 (parameter) |
|
||||
| channels per PE (N) | 64 / 8 = 8 |
|
||||
| per-channel BW | 32 GB/s (parameter) |
|
||||
| per-PE local BW | N × 32 = 256 GB/s |
|
||||
| cube total HBM BW | 64 × 32 = 2048 GB/s |
|
||||
|
||||
Both modes give the same per-PE effective BW; only the request shape and
|
||||
contention model differ.
|
||||
|
||||
### D9. AddressResolver — per-PE HBM endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
The address resolver decodes a PA's HBM offset to the owning PE's
|
||||
partition:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# policy/routing/router.py
|
||||
hbm_slice_bytes = hbm_total_gb_per_cube * (1 << 30) // hbm_slices_per_cube
|
||||
|
||||
if addr.kind == "hbm":
|
||||
pe_id = int(addr.hbm_offset) // hbm_slice_bytes
|
||||
return f"sip{s}.cube{d}.hbm_ctrl.pe{pe_id}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The pe_id computation is intrinsic to the routing layer (not a
|
||||
topology-time concern). Any HBM PA falls within exactly one partition,
|
||||
yielding deterministic routing.
|
||||
|
||||
External callers (e.g., M_CPU DMA, Memory R/W from PCIE_EP) follow the
|
||||
same resolver path — there is no separate fast path.
|
||||
|
||||
### D10. Mesh generation parameters
|
||||
|
||||
`mesh_gen.py` produces `cube_mesh.yaml` from:
|
||||
|
||||
- `cube.pe_layout`: corner placement (NW, NE, SW, SE) and PEs per corner.
|
||||
- `cube.geometry`: cube physical dimensions and HBM zone.
|
||||
- `cube.ucie.n_connections`: determines router count for UCIe attachment.
|
||||
|
||||
Output `mesh_data` dictionary contains:
|
||||
|
||||
- Router grid with positions and HBM exclusion zones.
|
||||
- PE-to-router attachments (`pe{idx}.dma`, `pe{idx}.cpu`, `pe{idx}.hbm`
|
||||
per PE).
|
||||
- UCIe-to-router attachments (N/S/E/W distributed across edge routers).
|
||||
- M_CPU and SRAM router attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
- Local HBM (0 mesh hops, switching overhead only) and cross-PE HBM
|
||||
(mesh hops) are naturally distinguishable, satisfying SPEC R5
|
||||
(multi-domain communication) and ADR-0002 (no zero-latency end-to-end
|
||||
paths).
|
||||
- All cube-internal traffic routes through one mesh — single contention
|
||||
model, single layout, single set of edge BWs.
|
||||
- Per-PE HBM partitioning maps cleanly to the LA model (ADR-0011): each
|
||||
PE's partition is the n:1 aggregate of its assigned pseudo-channels.
|
||||
- 1:1 mode extension is structurally natural — split each PE router into
|
||||
N channel routers.
|
||||
- Mesh generation is fully parameterised by `topology.yaml`; PE/cube
|
||||
geometry changes propagate without code edits.
