Bench changes:
- new _end_to_end_ns(op_log) and _engine_occupancy_ns(op_log) helpers
in milestone_gqa_decode_long_ctx_4cases.py (mirror paper_gqa_latency.py)
- _run_panel return dict now carries latency_ns + engine_occupancy_ns
alongside op_log_summary, so sweep.json is the single source of truth
for the comparative figures
Plot script:
- new scripts/paper/paper_plot_gqa_decode_long_ctx_4cases.py reads
sweep.json and emits 3 PNGs to docs/report/1H-codesign-paper/figures/:
gqa_decode_long_ctx_4cases_latency.png (end-to-end latency / case)
gqa_decode_long_ctx_4cases_traffic.png (ipcq/dma op counts / case)
gqa_decode_long_ctx_4cases_memory.png (KV bytes per cube / case)
Test changes:
- 2 new tests verifying the helpers + _run_panel dict shape
- lower smoke S_kv from 8192 -> 2048 (4x faster Case 2; assertions
are S_kv-independent; one fold-loop iteration preserved)
18/18 tests pass in ~4 min.

Option B fold: the lrab math previously in
``_gqa_attention_decode_long.py`` (used only as a thin re-export by
the Case 4 wrapper and as the import source for ``_merge_running``
in Cases 1 / 3) now lives inline in the Case 4 kernel file. ``sub_w``
is hardcoded to 4 (the 4×2 cube sub-mesh geometry; root cube 6);
the legacy ``sub_w=0`` 1D-chain backward-compat path is removed
along with its dedicated tests — the dropped ``single_user_*`` /
``multi_user_*`` panels that exercised it are already gone.
Production changes:
- inline lrab math into _gqa_attention_decode_long_ctx_cube_sp_pe_sp.py
(drops sub_w param; _ROOT_CUBE=6 baked in)
- inline _merge_running into Cases 1 (cube_sp_pe_tp) and 3
(cube_repl_pe_sp) so they no longer depend on the deleted file
- delete src/kernbench/benches/_gqa_attention_decode_long.py
- remove dead _run_decode_panel / _DECODE_* constants /
decode-side _PANEL_DISPATCH / _make_bench_fn decode branch
from milestone_gqa_headline.py (only the prefill panel remains)
- update _gqa_attention_decode_opt2.py docstring reference
Test changes:
- delete 7 legacy test_gqa_*.py files that pre-dated the 4-cases
architectural split (coverage now subsumed by the 16 4-cases tests)
- remove test_opt2_matches_opt3_data_mode + _run_decode_data helper
from test_gqa_decode_opt2.py (the parity check required sub_w=0
which no longer exists; opt2's other 4 tests preserved)
20/20 tests pass (16 4-cases + 4 opt2 smoke/dispatch).

Cases 1-3 each have a dedicated _gqa_attention_decode_<case>.py
kernel file; Case 4 previously reached into _gqa_attention_decode_long.py
via the headline bench's _run_decode_panel helper, breaking the
one-file-per-case convention. Adds _gqa_attention_decode_cube_sp_pe_sp.py
as a 20-line wrapper that bakes in sub_w=4 (the C=8 lrab geometry)
and gives Case 4 its own kind ("decode_cube_sp_pe_sp") and helper
(_run_decode_panel_cube_sp_pe_sp). decode_long.py is unchanged
(still serves the legacy decode_long tests). 16 tests pass.

Adds the fourth and final 4-cases panel: KV split S_kv-wise across
the 8 cubes (cube=row_wise, S_local = S_kv/C), replicated within
each cube (pe=replicate). PE-TP at B=1 means only PE 0 of each cube
has work; PEs 1-7 early-return (slide-11 PE-TP-at-B=1 waste). No
intra-CUBE comm; inter-CUBE 8-way reduce reuses the lrab-adapted
center-root pattern (root cube 6) — same structural cost as Case 4's
inter-CUBE phase (21 ipcq_copy). 16 tests pass (4 per case).

Adds the third 4-cases panel: KV replicated per cube (8× memory
waste), PEs SP on S_kv within each cube, intra-CUBE 8-way reduce on
(m, ℓ, O), and no inter-CUBE comm (every cube ends with full answer;
designated writer = cube 0). Reuses the row-chain + col-bridge
intra-CUBE pattern that anchors Case 4 (21 ipcq_copy per cube × 8
cubes = 168 total). 12 tests pass (4 Case 4 + 4 Case 2 + 4 Case 3).

Second case in the GQA decode 4-cases comparative study per
GQA_full_deck.pptx slide 11. Case 2 replicates K, V across all 8
cubes × 8 PEs (the slide-11 8 KB/tok/PE memory waste) and has zero
inter-rank comm. For B=1 (single-user decode default), only PE 0
of CUBE 0 has work — the inherent PE-TP waste slide 11 calls out.
Changes:
- New kernel: src/kernbench/benches/_gqa_attention_decode_cube_repl_pe_tp.py
Simplest of the 4 cases. Active rank loads full Q/K/V from HBM,
computes attention via S_kv tile sweep with online-softmax merge,
writes O. All non-(0,0) ranks early-return. No tl.send/recv.
- src/kernbench/benches/milestone_gqa_decode_4cases.py:
- Add panel single_kv_group_decode_gqa_cube_repl_pe_tp (Case 2)
to _PANELS and _PANEL_DISPATCH.
- Add _run_decode_panel_cube_repl_pe_tp helper: DPPolicy K/V/Q/O
= cube=replicate, pe=replicate (models 8× memory waste).
- Extend _make_bench_fn to dispatch kind="decode_cube_repl_pe_tp"
to the new runner.
- tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_decode_4cases.py:
4 new tests assert Case 2 contract: panel registered, smoke
completion, zero ipcq_copy (no comm), single dma_write from cube 0.
Verification: 8/8 tests pass (4 Case 4 anchor + 4 new Case 2).

The legacy panel names suggested batched serving semantics they never
had — all four modeled a single user with KV sharded differently
(C=1 single-cube; C=4 multi-cube Cube-SP), at toy dims (T_q=4, S_kv≤128).
The single-KV-group C=8 panel + the new milestone-gqa-decode-4cases
bench cover the meaningful comparisons; pytest regression already
covers C=1/C=4 configurations end-to-end at richer scale.
Changes:
- milestone_gqa_headline.py: drop the 4 legacy panels; _PANELS now
contains only single_kv_group_prefill_gqa_c8_p8. Update docstring.
- tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_headline.py: drop the 3 legacy-
panel architectural tests (Ring-KV traffic, root-only decode write,
per-CUBE distributed output) and test_decode_panels_use_real_gqa
(no decode panels in this bench anymore). Equivalent properties
are asserted in test_milestone_gqa_single_kv_group_prefill_panel.py
(64 dma_writes, 896 ipcq_copy) and test_milestone_gqa_decode_4cases.py
(1 dma_write at cube 6, 189 ipcq_copy).
- tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_single_kv_group_prefill_panel.py:
drop test_existing_prefill_panel_runner_backward_compat (it exercised
multi_user_prefill_gqa which no longer exists).
- scripts/paper/paper_plot_gqa.py: replace the 4 legacy _LABELS entries
with the single single_kv_group_prefill_gqa_c8_p8 label.
- Regenerate 1H_milestone_output/gqa_headline/sweep.json from the new
panel set.
Verification: 9/9 tests pass across the 3 affected test files.

First milestone of the decode 4-cases comparative study per
GQA_full_deck.pptx slides 11-17. Case 4 (Cube-SP × PE-SP, the optimal
case per slide 11) is structurally the existing _gqa_attention_decode_long
at sub_w=4 (Increment 2's lrab-adapted center-root reduce). This commit
wires it into a dedicated bench so the remaining cases land alongside.
Changes:
- New bench: src/kernbench/benches/milestone_gqa_decode_4cases.py
Houses the 4 case panels under one milestone-gqa-decode-4cases entry
(gated by GQA_DECODE_4CASES_RUN=1; output to
1H_milestone_output/gqa_decode_4cases/sweep.json). Cases 1-3 are
TBD in subsequent sub-increments (5C.A/B/C).
- New panel: single_kv_group_decode_gqa_cube_sp_pe_sp
C=8, P=8, sub_w=4, T_q=1, S_kv=131_072, d_head=128, h_q=8, h_kv=1.
- src/kernbench/benches/milestone_gqa_headline.py: _run_decode_panel
extended with keyword-only sub_w/T_q/d_head/h_q/h_kv overrides
(defaults preserve existing-panel behaviour).
- tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_decode_4cases.py: 4 new tests
asserting registration, smoke completion, reduce-to-root at the lrab
center cube (cube 6), and the predicted 189-ipcq Case-4 traffic
pattern (168 intra-CUBE + 21 inter-CUBE lrab Phase 1+2).
- tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_headline.py: rename
test_sweep_json_has_four_panels -> test_sweep_json_has_expected_panels
and switch hardcoded 4 to len(PANELS) (the panel set grew to 5
with Increment 5's single_kv_group_prefill_gqa_c8_p8).
Deviation noted: slide 13 prescribes AllReduce on (m,ℓ,O); our kernel
does reduce-to-root (only the lrab center cube has the answer) per
ADR-0060 §4. Treated as the kernbench Case-4 baseline.
Verification: all 4 new tests pass; 90 regression tests pass; the
previously-failing test_sweep_json_has_four_panels now passes under
its renamed form.

The headline T_q=S_kv=32K target overflows the 1 MB per-PE scratch
pool: at T_q_local=4K and tile_s=1024 the scores matrix alone is 8 MB.
The prefill kernel's bootstrap section also leaves K_t/V_t/scores/
exp_scores persistent (outside tl.scratch_scope), inflating baseline.
Scale-down to T_q=S_kv=1K (T_q_local=128, fits comfortably) preserves
the C=8 + P=8 architecture demonstration; the true LLaMA 32K headline
awaits a future increment to add Q-axis tiling and tighten bootstrap
scratch discipline.
Verified end-to-end: kernbench run --bench milestone-gqa-headline now
produces sweep.json with all 5 panels. The new panel shows
ipcq_copy=896 (matches (C-1)·n_tiles·2·C·P = 7·1·2·8·8) and
dma_write=64 (one per PE, head-parallel + intra-CUBE PE-SP).

End-to-end wires C=8 P=8 d_head=128 prefill with snake-ring inter-CUBE
SFR, intra-CUBE PE-SP (all 64 ranks active), and the milestone bench
panel. Decode kernel gains lrab-adapted center-root reduce for the
2×4 sub-mesh per ADR-0060 §4.2.
Increment 1 — SFR multi-row snake
src/kernbench/ccl/sfr_config.py: configure_sfr_intercube_ring gains
submesh_shape / submesh_origin kwargs; installs a Hamiltonian snake
ring through a rectangular sub-mesh (every hop is 1-hop physical
neighbour). Backward-compat: 1D-row behaviour preserved when
submesh_shape is None.
tests/test_intercube_snake_ring.py (12 tests)
Increment 2 — Decode lrab-adapted center-root reduce
src/kernbench/benches/_gqa_attention_decode_long.py: new sub_w param
(default 0 = existing 1D-chain). sub_w >= 2 selects the ADR-0060
§4.2 prescribed lrab-adapted Phase 1+2 reduce (bidirectional row +
bidirectional col converge to the center cube), with log-sum-exp
_merge_running replacing the plain + of lrab.
tests/attention/test_gqa_decode_long_2d_reduce.py (4 tests)
Increment 3 — Prefill kernel at C=8 (no production change)
Verified by inspection that the existing prefill_long kernel +
Increment 1's snake SFR already work at C=8 without any kernel
edit. The kernel speaks logical W/E; the snake routes it.
tests/attention/test_gqa_prefill_long_c8_snake.py (3 tests)
Increment 4 — Intra-CUBE PE-SP in prefill (all 64 ranks)
src/kernbench/benches/_gqa_attention_prefill_long.py: new P param
(default 1 = existing PE-0-only). P > 1 splits T_q query-axis-wise
across the P PEs of each CUBE; output rows are disjoint per PE so
no intra-CUBE reduce is needed; each PE drives its own same-lane
ring (P parallel rings).
tests/attention/test_gqa_prefill_long_pe_sp.py (5 tests)
Increment 5 — LLaMA-scale milestone bench panel
src/kernbench/benches/milestone_gqa_headline.py: new panel
single_kv_group_prefill_gqa_c8_p8 (C=8, P=8, T_q=S_kv=32K,
d_head=128). _run_prefill_panel extended with P/T_q/d_head
defaults; routes snake SFR when C > mesh_w.
tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_single_kv_group_prefill_panel.py (3 tests)
Total: 4 production files modified, 5 new test files, 27 new tests.
Followed the Phase 1/2 protocol per CLAUDE.md throughout.

test_bench_registry EXPECTED_NAMES: add the 3 milestone benches the pull registered (milestone-1h-ccl, milestone-1h-gemm, milestone-gqa-headline) — 11 benches, alphabetical. test_memory_store::test_shape_mismatch_raises: the pull made same-size reshapes byte-conserving (allowed) and an over-large read raise 'Out-of-bounds read' (not 'Shape mismatch') — match the new message. Full suite now 820 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
composite() now awaits its prologue recipe operands (e.g. the score tile from a prior #1 composite) so the cross-composite RAW (#1 writes scores -> #2 reads them) is ordered: #2 waits for #1 before reading. With N1-N3, opt2 (the two-composite recipe kernel) now computes a correct attention output end-to-end in data mode and matches opt3 within fp tolerance.
Scope note: the e2e opt2<->opt3 parity holds in the near-uniform-attention regime (small inputs). kernbench's K reshape-as-transpose (opt3 kernel docstring: 'correct for zero/symmetric inputs') makes opt2's per-sub-tile K interpretation differ from opt3's single-tile one for high-contrast inputs — a pre-existing kernbench limitation shared by both kernels, not the recipe. The EXACT recipe math (online-softmax merge m/l + O = O*corr + P@V) is verified non-trivially and exactly by N2/N3 (test_recipe_data_mode.py). Suite 817 pass / 3 pre-existing fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two fixes make the recipe's P.V GEMM fold into the rescaled accumulator: (1) op_log marks the composite gemm record accumulate=True when an 'add' epilogue targets the GEMM's own output; data_executor._execute_gemm then does O = O_existing + a@b instead of overwriting. (2) PE_SCHEDULER records the composite's numeric op at COMPLETION (in _retire_on_done) instead of at dispatch, so the GEMM's t_start sorts AFTER its prologue MATH ops -> it reads the computed P and the rescaled O.
Verified end-to-end (DataExecutor): the full recipe produces O = O_old*corr + P@V matching a numpy flash-attention reference. Suite 816 pass / 3 pre-existing fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
data_executor._compute_math gains the 5 recipe ops (rmax/rsum as keepdims reductions, max_elem/exp_diff/mul_bcast as binary; numpy broadcasting covers bcast_axis). tiling._math_stage now carries operand+output addrs/shapes/spaces + axis on the recipe prologue MATH stages. op_log.record_end promotes a MATH stage to op_kind='math' ONLY when it carries input_addrs -> the DataExecutor runs it; legacy epilogue MATH stages (bias/relu, no addrs) stay op_kind-opaque -> byte-equal.
Fixed a latent P2 lowering bug exposed by data mode: _resolve_recipe_dst gave reductions shape (G,) (axis removed) but max_elem broadcasts them against the running m=(G,1); reductions now keep the reduced axis as size 1 (keepdims) -> (G,1). Verified end-to-end: running the recipe's 8 MATH ops through the DataExecutor produces m, l (fully updated online-softmax) and O (rescaled by corr) matching a numpy reference. Suite 815 pass / 3 pre-existing fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two changes make a composite's matmul replay in Phase 2: (1) op_log _extract_op_info(CompositeCmd) now SCANS ops for the gemm op (it is ops[0] for a legacy composite but sits after the prologue MATH ops in a recipe), emitting one composite_gemm record with the gemm's a/b/out addrs+spaces; (2) PE_SCHEDULER._dispatch_composite records the composite as a zero-duration numeric op (no-op without an op_logger, so latency-only mode is unchanged). Verified: a composite GEMM with seeded inputs writes a@b to its HBM output.
DataExecutor._execute_gemm is now best-effort: if an operand's data was never produced (torch.empty bench input) or a shard read is out-of-bounds (column-wise sharded operand read at full shape), skip the matmul instead of crashing. This keeps composite-using benches (qkv-gemm, composite-epilogue) green now that their previously-uncomputed GEMM actually fires. Suite 813 pass / 3 pre-existing fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
tl.composite now returns the output TensorHandle (not a CompletionHandle) so its result chains like tl.dot's; the handle carries the completion in a CompositeFuture pending so downstream ops and tl.wait auto-await it. out is a handle: out=tl.ref(addr,shape) (HBM, DMA_WRITE inside the composite) or an in-place TCM handle (STORE only); omitted -> TLContext auto-allocates a TCM scratch. out_ptr kept as HBM shorthand (= out=tl.ref(out_ptr, shape)) to avoid churning ~30 existing call sites.
tl.ref now returns space=hbm (it references HBM data; operand-input DMA stays pinned-based per D4 so input streaming is unchanged). tiling: the tile loop's DMA_WRITE is gated on out.space==hbm (out analog of the operand pinned rule) — a TCM output stays on-chip (chainable) and its high-bit scratch address no longer hits the DMA PA decoder.
Fixes the opt2 data-mode crash: the recipe accumulator O is TCM -> no DMA_WRITE -> opt2 now RUNS end-to-end in data mode (enable_data=True). Numeric parity of the recipe MATH ops is the next step. Suite 812 pass / 3 pre-existing fail; existing composite benches use out_ptr->hbm->DMA_WRITE unchanged (byte-equal).

Extend the opt2 R-sensitivity test to assert the opt3/opt2 dispatch ratio increases as R decreases (4.20x -> 5.22x -> 5.45x at R=0.25/0.0625/0.03125) — the cost is FIXED-dominated (command-count-driven), per ADR-0064 Test #9. Test-only; no production change (the P0 cost model + P2 recipe already make the ratio measurable).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
New _gqa_attention_decode_opt2.py: per-tile attention as #1 Q.Kt GEMM composite + #2 softmax_merge recipe composite (online merge + P.V + add). Runnable in op_log mode; full data-mode numeric parity is a deferred follow-up (P5-numerics).
Measured per-tile PE_CPU dispatch (ADR-0064 Rev2 default): opt3=960ns vs opt2=184ns = 5.22x (gate >2x), FIXED-dominated (command-count reduction) — the ADR-0060/0064 CPU-offload win. opt2<opt3 across R in {0.25,0.0625,0.03125}. K-before-V: softmax_merge prologue carries no DMA; V (ref) streams only in the GEMM tile loop.
Fix latent P3 bug surfaced by the first e2e recipe run: prologue MATH stages were FOLDED into the first GEMM tile, but a folded MATH->DMA_READ boundary needs a PE_MATH->PE_DMA token route the pipeline never wires (KeyError pe_dma). Now prologue/post-loop stages are fed as standalone 1-stage tiles (each completes on its component); completion count includes them. Existing benches have no prologue -> tiles + feed order unchanged (byte-equal); full suite 806 pass / 3 pre-existing fail.

_RwHazardTracker (pe_scheduler): a composite registers its write set (rw_handles) as in-flight; a new composite whose read (op operands) or write handles intersect an in-flight write set waits on those composites' done events before admission (ADR-0065 D6.3 / DDD 8). _dispatch_composite calls admit() before feeding and retires on the done event.
Legacy composites (rw_handles=()) never register and never block -> existing benches untouched (byte-equal). Strict FIFO is conservative (partial overlap waits for full drain); RW-aware reorder is deferred (A4).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
tiling.generate_plan_from_ops: scan flat ops for the GEMM (<=1); pre-GEMM KERNEL ops become single-shot prologue MATH stages, post-GEMM ops split by scope (K_TILE/OUTPUT_TILE epilogue + KERNEL post-loop). MATH-only composite reproduces the legacy math-head plan. Prologue/post-loop stages fold into the first/last tile so the feeder + completion counting are untouched (existing benches have neither -> byte-equal op_log).
PipelinePlan gains prologue_stages/epilogue_stages. pe_scheduler._generate_plan delegates to generate_plan_from_ops. DMA keeps the existing pinned signal (NOT a space flip); recipe scratch/primary-out handles are pinned=True so the head GEMM's auto-bound a (=P) is consumed in place.
ADR-0065 D4/D6.7/Test#5 amended (EN+KO): DMA decision from pinned, not space; prologue recipe ops TCM-only (head op exempt -- it may stream from HBM).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
New triton_emu/tl_recipes.py: RecipeDescriptor/EngineOp/PrimaryOutSpec + RECIPE_DESCRIPTORS['softmax_merge'] (8-step engine_seq). PE_SCHEDULER does not import it (ADR-0065 D5 boundary).
TLContext.composite(): add prologue=[...] + out=TensorHandle kwargs, a optional. _expand_prologue lowers a recipe into flat MATH OpSpecs (scope=KERNEL), allocates TCM scratch, derives the primary-out slot 'P' and auto-binds it into the head GEMM a (D6.6 conflict check); rw_handles=(m,l,O). decode-opt2 #2 lowers to 10 ops [rmax,max_elem,exp_diff,exp_diff,rsum,fma,mul_bcast,copy,gemm,add].
D6.7 (MATH operand TCM-only) scoped to prologue recipe ops only — the head op (gemm or math) keeps existing DMA-staged-from-HBM behavior. D6.1 (GEMM count <=1) on the whole composite. Host-side lowering only; PE_SCHEDULER position-scan is P3.
Also commit the ADR-0064 Rev2 promotion content that the prior commit's git mv dropped: Status Proposed->Accepted + D7 amended to hard-cap ValueError (no segmentation), EN+KO.

Three logically distinct changes, bundled for atomic test green:
1. **P3c — prefill_long tile-granular Ring KV** (ADR-0060 §5.5.1 amendment).
Convert the ring from slice-granular (one full ``(d_head, S_local)``
KV slice per step) to tile-granular (``n_tiles`` tiles of
``TILE_S_KV`` per step). Nested loop with outer tile, inner ring step:
each tile propagates through all C ring positions before the next
tile starts, so IPCQ in-flight depth stays at 1 per direction.
Bootstrap at ``(t=0, k=0)`` outside the scratch_scope establishes the
persistent ``(m, ℓ, O)``; every other iteration scope-wraps + persists
via ``copy_to``. Per-rank persistent scratch shrinks to ~1 KB; per-tile
scope bounded by TILE_S_KV regardless of S_local. Headline:
prefill_long now completes at S_kv=128K (previously overflowed).
New: ``tests/attention/test_gqa_prefill_long_tile_ring.py``
(3 tests — ceiling-lift + tile-granular ipcq_copy count +
per-CUBE distributed output regression guard).
2. **Rename ``gqa_*`` → ``gqa_attention_*``** across kernel files,
function names, and importers. The "attention" name makes the role
explicit (GQA is grouped-query attention) and matches upstream Triton
FlashAttention naming conventions. Renames:
_gqa_decode_long.py -> _gqa_attention_decode_long.py
_gqa_decode_short.py -> _gqa_attention_decode_short.py
_gqa_prefill_long.py -> _gqa_attention_prefill_long.py
_gqa_prefill_short.py -> _gqa_attention_prefill_short.py
And function names ``gqa_<phase>_<context>_kernel`` →
``gqa_attention_<phase>_<context>_kernel``. Updated 1 bench file
(milestone_gqa_headline.py) and 10 test files.
3. **ADR-0060 / 0062 / 0063 / 0064: Proposed → Accepted**.
All four are reflected in production code and covered by tests:
- ADR-0060 (GQA fused attention): 4 kernels deployed; §5.5.1
amendment added for the tile-granular Ring KV introduced by P3c
(EN + KO mirror).
- ADR-0062 (lazy tl.load): LoadFuture + _await_pending live in
tl_context.py.
- ADR-0063 (tl.scratch_scope + tl.copy_to): used in every chain
reduce + tile sweep + ring step. EN-only previously; KO
translation authored as part of this commit (CLAUDE.md
bidirectional rule).
- ADR-0064 (per-op-type CPU issue cost): cpu_issue_cost.py +
issue_cost_table wiring in tl_context.py (Phase E).
Files git mv'd from docs/adr-proposed/ to docs/adr/ (EN) and
docs/adr-ko/ (KO). ADR-0061 (tl.broadcast) stays Proposed — no
implementation; documented as optional convenience primitive in
the ADR itself.
Tests: 88/88 focused regression green
(tests/attention/ + Phase E + TL discipline).
ADR pair verification: ``python tools/verify_adr_lang_pairs.py`` OK.

Replace each kernel's local one-shot partial with a Tile-0 bootstrap + a
``scratch_scope``-wrapped merge loop. Per-rank scratch is now bounded by
``TILE_S_KV = 1024`` regardless of ``S_local``, lifting the long-context S
ceiling. Backward compatible at ``S_local <= TILE_S_KV`` (loop body is
empty; op_log structurally identical to today).
Framework: extend ``memory_store.read`` to support partial reads at
offsets within a stored region. Models real Triton ``tl.load(ptr+offset,
shape=...)`` — needed because each tile loads ``k_ptr + tile_start*row_bytes``
for its sub-slice of the per-rank KV region.
prefill_long is intentionally left untiled. Its ring loop carries
full-slice ``Kc``/``Vc`` for ``tl.send`` between CUBEs, so tile-sweeping
step 0 wouldn't shrink the kernel's actual scratch footprint. Lifting
prefill_long's ceiling requires a tile-granular ring rewrite — separate
phase. Docstring + inline comments cleaned to reflect the current shape.
Docstrings across all 4 GQA kernels: drop P1a/P2a/P2b/P6a/P6b lineage
paragraphs and historical deviation lists; describe each kernel by what
it does, not how it got here. Add explicit ``# Local attention`` /
``# Communication`` section headers.
Tests: new ``tests/attention/test_gqa_tile_sweep.py`` with 5 tests
covering single-tile op_log stability, multi-tile ``copy_to`` emission
across all 3 refactored kernels, and the headline ceiling-lift
(decode_long at S_kv=256K). Full focused regression green: 85/85 across
``tests/attention/`` + Phase E + TL discipline tests.

Make the file + function naming symmetric:
_gqa_decode.py -> _gqa_decode_long.py
_gqa_prefill.py -> _gqa_prefill_long.py
gqa_decode_kernel -> gqa_decode_long_kernel
gqa_prefill_kernel -> gqa_prefill_long_kernel
Mirrors the existing _gqa_{decode,prefill}_short.py naming. Updates the
two imports + two call sites in milestone_gqa_headline.py and the 9
attention tests that import the kernels.
Tests: 72/72 focused regression green (tests/attention/ + Phase E + TL
discipline). milestone-gqa-headline bench passes its 7 panel/schema
assertions.

Land the new GQA fused-attention kernels (ADR-0060) for prefill/decode
across long and short context, the TL discipline primitives they depend
on (ADR-0062 lazy load, ADR-0063 scratch_scope + copy_to), and the
per-op-type CPU issue cost model (ADR-0064). Remove the pre-ADR-0060
mesh-attention baseline now that the unified kernels supersede it.
ADR-0060 (long context)
- _gqa_decode.py: M-fold + 2-level chain reduce-to-root (Level-2
intra-CUBE row-then-col + Level-1 inter-CUBE) — root-only output.
- _gqa_prefill.py: head-parallel + Ring KV rotation around C CUBEs,
online-softmax merge per ring step, per-CUBE distributed output.
- Each merge stage wraps in scratch_scope() and persists running
(m, l, O) via copy_to() to lift the 1 MiB scratch ceiling.
ADR-0060 §B.split.2 (short context, kv_per_cube in {1,2,4,8})
- _gqa_decode_short.py / _gqa_prefill_short.py: no cube-SP; each CUBE
owns whole KV heads; PE-parallel heads with intra-group chain
reduce. Prefill has no Ring KV (each head fully resident).
ADR-0062 (lazy tl.load): future-bearing TensorHandle, auto-wait at
first consuming op (dot/MATH/store/send/copy_to/composite).
ADR-0063 (tl.scratch_scope + tl.copy_to): scoped per-tile arena with
copy_to writeback primitive for persistent running state.
ADR-0064 (CPU issue cost model)
- common/cpu_issue_cost.py: per-op-type table (composite=40 ns,
primitives=5 ns); ratios are load-bearing per D1.
- TLContext: issue_cost_table param; _emit_dispatch_overhead(kind)
consults table with dispatch_cycles fallback (ADR-0046 §D6
back-compat).
- Live PE_CPU paths (greenlet + legacy) construct TLContext with
DEFAULT_CPU_ISSUE_COST so saturation lever (ADR-0060 §1) is
measurable end-to-end.
P7 headline bench: milestone-gqa-headline writes per-panel
op_log_summary to 1H_milestone_output/gqa_headline/sweep.json. No
figure renderers yet (deferred).
Removals (pre-ADR-0060 baseline now superseded):
- benches: _attention_mesh_kv.py, _attention_mesh_mlo.py,
_attention_mesh_mlo_2d.py, milestone_gqa_llama70b.py
- tests: test_attention_*, test_mesh_*, test_milestone_gqa_llama70b
- topology: llama70b_4sip.yaml (only consumer was the deleted diag)
- artifacts: 1H_milestone_output/gqa/ (sweep.json + 5 PNGs)
- tests/gqa/ plot helper + test (broken on Windows Tcl/Tkinter)
- ADR-0060/0061 references to deleted file paths cleaned up
(EN + KO kept in sync).
Tests: 124/124 focused regression green (attention + Phase E + TL
discipline + triton_emu + pe_components). Full regression: 764 pass,
2 pre-existing test_bench_registry failures (stale EXPECTED_NAMES
across multiple benches, not introduced here).

New ``test_attention_8kv_groups_diag.py`` probes the path from
validation scale to the GQA Llama-70B 1-Q-head-per-cube headline
(64 cubes = 8 KV-groups x 8 cubes/group on a 4-SIP topology) in
three incremental steps:
step_1_single_kv_group_at_full_breadth
ONE 2x4 multi_user_decode launch (8 cubes) via the 2D mesh-mlo
kernel. Verifies the per-KV-group 2D AllReduce works at full
breadth.
step_2_four_kv_groups_one_per_sip
Four sequential 2x4 launches, one per SIP. Uses the CCL
milestone's set_device pattern (milestone_1h_ccl.py:283-292):
ONE run_bench with ``target_device="all"`` and
``ctx.ahbm.set_device(sip)`` between launches — not four
separate run_bench calls with ``DeviceSelector("sip:N")``
(which would misuse DeviceSelector and hit a
``DPPolicy x target_device`` allocator mismatch).
step_3_eight_kv_groups_two_per_sip
Two 2x4 launches per SIP x 4 SIPs = 8 KV-groups (64 cubes
total). Second launch per SIP uses ``cube_start=8`` to address
cubes 8..15 — the disjoint sub-mesh that was unreachable before
``DPPolicy.cube_start`` landed. Demonstrates the headline-enabling
use of cube_start end-to-end (DPPolicy + kernel kwarg).
All three steps pass at validation dims (S_q=1, S_kv=16, h=1,
d_head=64). Headline-scale dims, multi_user_prefill 2D, and the B=8
"Batch on batch" PE parallelism remain follow-up work.

New ``_attention_mesh_mlo_2d.py`` decomposes a
``(mesh_rows x mesh_cols)`` cube sub-mesh into two stages of
bidirectional AllReduce-mlo:
Stage 1 — row reduce (E/W edges, mesh_cols-1 steps)
Stage 2 — col reduce (N/S edges, mesh_rows-1 steps)
After both stages every cube holds the same final ``(m, l, o)`` and
writes the normalized output. The online-softmax mlo merge is
associative, so row-then-col partitioning is mathematically
equivalent to a 1D ring AllReduce-mlo over all
``mesh_rows * mesh_cols`` cubes but uses fewer hops:
- 2x4 (8 cubes / KV-group): 4 steps vs 7 (1.75x faster)
- 4x4 (16 cubes / full SIP): 6 steps vs 15 (2.5x faster)
Motivation: the original 1D ring kernel ``_attention_mesh_mlo.py``
hit ``IpcqInvalidDirection`` at cube 4 when ``n_ranks=8`` on the
4x4 cube mesh — cube 4 has no W neighbor at the row 0/1 boundary.
N/S edges are already installed by ``configure_sfr_intercube_multisip``
so the 2D kernel runs on existing wiring without SFR changes.
The kernel accepts ``cube_start: int = 0`` and subtracts it from
``program_id(axis=1)`` so the ring math uses launch-local rank. This
matters because kernbench's ``program_id(axis=1)`` returns the
physical cube id (ADR-0022), so a launch starting at cube 8 would
otherwise compute ``my_row = 8//4 = 2`` (out of sub-mesh bounds) and
deadlock. Default ``cube_start=0`` keeps the existing
multi_user_decode validation behavior bit-for-bit.
Bench dispatch: ``multi_user_decode`` in milestone-gqa-llama70b now
uses the 2D kernel via a new ``mesh_shape`` column in
``_PANEL_DISPATCH``. At validation ``N_RANKS_MULTI_USER=4``, the
shape is ``(1, 4)`` — a degenerate single-row mesh, equivalent in
step count and op_log structure to the prior 1D ring at n_ranks=4.
The other three panels keep their 1D kernels.
Tests: 4 new unit tests in ``test_mesh_mlo_2d_correctness.py`` —
1x4 (degenerate row), 2x4 (8-KV-group target), 4x4 (full SIP), and
2x4 at cube_start=8 (the second sub-mesh per SIP). Existing
milestone (12 tests) and mesh-kernels-rank-axis (7 tests) suites
stay green — no regression.

Adds an optional ``cube_start: int = 0`` field to ``DPPolicy``. In
``resolve_dp_policy`` the generated ``ShardSpec.cube`` is now
``policy.cube_start + cube_id`` instead of just ``cube_id``. With the
default value (0) every existing call site resolves to identical
``ShardSpec.cube`` values (cubes 0..num_cubes-1).
Why this is needed: the GQA Llama-70B 8-KV-group headline target lays
two 2x4 KV-groups per SIP — the first on cubes 0..7 (rows 0..1), the
second on cubes 8..15 (rows 2..3). Without ``cube_start``, ``DPPolicy``
can only address the first 8 row-major cubes, so a second launch on
the same SIP overlaps the first. ``cube_start=8`` selects the second
2x4 sub-mesh directly.
Design choice: scalar ``cube_start`` (vs a 2D ``cube_mesh_origin`` or
arbitrary ``cube_ids`` list) was picked because (a) the 2D mesh-mlo
kernel already assumes row-major contiguous cubes, (b) it pairs
naturally with ``num_cubes`` (range = ``[start, start+count)``), and
(c) zero migration churn — every existing call site stays unchanged.
Scope: 5 production LOC (one field + one expression in resolve). No
kernel changes here; kernels that consume ``program_id(axis=1)`` for
ring arithmetic need their own follow-up (see ADR-0022 contract).
Tests: 7 new unit tests in ``test_dppolicy_cube_start.py`` covering
default behavior preservation (cube_start=0), shifted ranges
(cube_start=8 → cubes 8..15), full-SIP CCL pattern, replicate cube
policy, shard-count preservation, and uniqueness. ADR-0026 regression
suite (12 tests) stays green.

Add 5 of the 6 figure renderers ADR-0057 D3 sub-cycle 4c specifies:
- gqa_op_log_{panel}.png × 4 — per-panel bar chart of the 5 op_log
counts (gemm, ipcq_send, ipcq_recv, dma_read, dma_write).
- gqa_comparison.png — cross-panel grouped bars over the same 5 series.
Sixth figure (gqa_scaling.png) depends on sub-cycle 4b's Q/cube ∈
{1, 2, 4} sweep on multi_user_* panels and is deferred until that
data exists; emit_all_gqa_plots returns just the 5 in-scope paths.
Add MILESTONE_FAST=1 mode to run(): skip the panel sweep, reuse the
committed sweep.json, render figures only. Validation mode unchanged.
The runtime errors clearly when neither env var is set, listing the
two supported modes.
Renderers live in the bench module (the milestone-1h-gemm pattern);
tests/gqa/_gqa_plot_helpers.py re-exports them for figure tests.
Tests: tests/gqa/test_plot_gqa_figures.py — 7 tests, all green:
- 4 parametrized per-panel emit assertions
- 1 comparison emit assertion
- 1 emit_all returns exactly 5 PNG paths
- 1 default out_dir matches the bench _OUTPUT_DIR
Commits the 5 PNG baselines under the bench output dir alongside
sweep.json, mirroring milestone-1h-gemm's committed-figures pattern.

Self-contained eval bench (ADR-0054) that drives the four GQA Llama-70B
panels through run_bench with enable_data=True at validation scale and
emits sweep.json with the v1 schema (ADR-0057 D7).
Panel dispatch table maps each panel to (kernel, SFR install, S_q,
n_ranks, rank_axis):
single_user_prefill mesh_kv_kernel, intracube_pe_ring, S_q=16, n=8, rank_axis=0
multi_user_prefill mesh_kv_kernel, intercube_multisip, S_q=16, n=4, rank_axis=1
single_user_decode mesh_mlo_kernel, intracube_pe_ring, S_q=1, n=8, rank_axis=0
multi_user_decode mesh_mlo_kernel, intercube_multisip, S_q=1, n=4, rank_axis=1
multi_user panels pass _auto_dim_remap=False (avoid d_head=64
colliding with K's global M=64) and rank_axis=1 (cube-level ring,
gates 7 of every 8 PEs to silence).
Each panel runs on a fresh per-config GraphEngine, then op_log is
summarized into gemm/dma/ipcq counts. Both decode panels emit exactly
2*n_ranks GEMMs (one-shot partial attention per rank, ADR-0056 D3).
v1 supports GQA_VALIDATION=1 only; headline mode + figures deferred to
sub-cycles 4b/4c. Sentinel tensor satisfies the run_bench
"at least one request" contract (ADR-0045 D4 / ADR-0054 D2 carve-out).
Tests: tests/attention/test_milestone_gqa_llama70b.py — all 12 pass.
Includes committed sweep.json baseline at the bench's _OUTPUT_DIR so
subsequent test runs reuse it instead of re-simulating.

ADR-0059 single_user_* panels run the ring across PEs in one cube
(rank == tl.program_id(axis=0)). multi_user_* panels run the ring
across cubes — rank should be cube_id (axis=1), and 7 of every 8 PEs
in each cube must stay silent because the cube-level SFR install only
gives the cube-coordinate PE 0 an E/W neighbor.
Add ``rank_axis: int = 0`` kwarg to both ``attention_mesh_mlo_kernel``
and ``attention_mesh_kv_kernel``:
- 0 (default): rank == tl.program_id(axis=0). Existing single_user
behavior, all spec tests unchanged.
- 1: gate ``if tl.program_id(axis=0) != 0: return`` at kernel start,
then ``rank = tl.program_id(axis=1)``. multi_user_* panels pass
this to the kernel via ctx.launch positional arg.
Also brings in _attention_mesh_kv.py and _attention_mesh_mlo.py as
the committed home of the ADR-0059 kernels (previously living
uncommitted in the working tree from sub-cycle 4b).
Tests: 7-test rank_axis spec file (default-path + rank_axis=1 gating
and cube-id semantics, both kernels); 4-panel diag harness now green
end-to-end (single_user_prefill/decode + multi_user_prefill/decode);
763-test wider sweep clean.

Two compounding bugs in ctx.launch's dim-translation path surfaced
by multi_user_* panels of milestone-gqa-llama70b (sub-cycle 4c step 2):
Bug A: _compute_local_shape divided by self._num_cubes (the topology's
cube count, 16 in default topology.yaml) instead of the DPPolicy's
effective num_cubes (4 for validation-scale multi_user). The tensor
allocator at context.py:471-484 already honored dp.num_cubes; the
parallel computation inside launch was out of sync. Fix mirrors the
allocator's eff_num_cubes precedence pattern.
Bug B: dim_map was keyed by value, so any scalar whose value
coincidentally equaled a global tensor dim got rewritten to that dim's
local value — e.g. d_head=64 colliding with K's global M=64 in
multi_user mode. Legacy bench kernels (va_offset etc.) rely on this
remap, so the fix is opt-out: ctx.launch(..., _auto_dim_remap=False)
preserves scalars exactly as passed. Default remains True.
Tests: 3 new dim-translation tests + 4-panel diag harness covers
single_user_* (PASS) and multi_user_* (advances to new SFR/axis layer
failure, tracked separately). va_offset + full attention spec suite
unchanged.

Phase 1 cannot snapshot math-output sources at outbound send time
because math executes only in Phase 2 — so token.data stays None and
PE_DMA inbound can't write the recv slot. For own-sends this is harmless
(Phase 2 replay reads the stable scratch addr after math runs). For
forwarded sends in mesh kernels (ADR-0059), src_addr is a recv slot
that gets wrapped by later inbounds before this read's Phase 2 turn,
yielding a shape mismatch on the fallback MemoryStore.read.
Fix: DataExecutor maintains a per-slot, time-ordered, shape-keyed
history. Every ipcq_copy write appends (t_write, value) to the slot's
history; _resolve_read falls back to the most recent shape-matching
entry with t_write <= the consuming op's t_start. Applied uniformly
to _execute_memory, _execute_gemm, and _execute_math.
Secondary: OpLogger.record_end for math ops now prefers
TensorHandle.data carried by the input handle over a MemoryStore
re-read, closing the smaller record-end race covered by the new
test_op_log_input_snapshot_race.py unit tests.
Tests: 4 new race tests + 6 existing op_log + mesh decode diag +
mesh kv/mlo spec — all green. Full repo sweep: 760 passed (3
pre-existing failures unrelated: bench-registry list drift +
Windows Tkinter env).

Move the GEMM + allreduce sweep/render logic out of scripts/ and tests/
into two self-contained eval benches so a user can regenerate every
result + figure with one command:
kernbench run --bench milestone-1h-gemm (MILESTONE_FAST=1 reuses JSON)
kernbench run --bench milestone-1h-ccl
- benches/milestone_1h_{gemm,ccl}.py: single home for each domain; the
run(torch) entry drives the sweeps and writes figures into
benches/1H_milestone_output/{gemm,ccl}/ (gitignored), then submits a
sentinel tensor to satisfy the run_bench contract.
- tests/gemm + tests/sccl helpers and scripts/gemm_sweep.py become thin
re-export/wrapper shims over the benches (single source preserved); the
pytest-only param builders + _run_distributed wrapper stay in the shim.
- eval-bench pattern: a bench may drive many configs + build its own
per-config engines (extends ADR-0045 D5; reverses ADR-0044 D1/D2).
ADR-0054 (EN+KO) records the design; ADR-0043/0044/0045 + CLAUDE.md CLI
Semantics amended; ADR INDEX regenerated. Verified: milestone benches run
clean (ok=True, all artifacts), full suite 67 passed, lang-pairs OK.

Mirror the sccl pattern for GEMM figures: a tests/gemm/ package renders the
GEMM bar charts as PNGs from the committed docs/diagrams/gemm_sweep.json, so
the figures are fast test artifacts (run by default) while the heavy sim sweep
stays a manual script (scripts/gemm_sweep.py, kept) wrapped by a slow
regenerator test.
tests/gemm/:
- _gemm_plot_helpers.py: matplotlib renderers (series logic mirrors the
GEMM _render_* functions in scripts/build_overview_slides.py).
- test_plot_gemm_stage_breakdown.py: gemm_stage_breakdown.png (load_ref).
- test_plot_gemm_mac_utilization.py: gemm_mac_utilization_measured.png +
gemm_mac_utilization_theoretical_vs_measured.png (load_ref).
- test_gemm_sweep.py: @pytest.mark.slow regenerator (runs scripts/gemm_sweep.py).
Chart set trimmed to three (stage breakdown, MAC util, theoretical-vs-measured);
"formula" relabeled to "theoretical" throughout the comparison chart.
Known follow-ups (not blocking):
- gemm_mac_utilization_measured.png currently plots the theoretical ideal-
pipeline model, not simulator-measured data; the name is a misnomer pending
a decision to repoint its content or retitle.
- The theoretical-model constants (HBM 256 GB/s, T_stage 16 ns, 3 stages) are
inherited verbatim from build_overview_slides.py and not yet verified against
ADR-0033 / ADR-0014 / topology.

Convert the multidevice allreduce correctness + latency/buffer-kind sweeps
to run through the real PyTorch-distributed path
(init_process_group(backend="ahbm") -> mp.spawn -> dist.all_reduce) instead
of direct ctx.launch, and reorganize the CCL/allreduce tests into a
tests/sccl/ package split one test per file.
Production change (required for the distributed path on non-square SIP grids):
- AhbmCCLBackend now reads explicit system.sips.w/h from the spec, with a
square-only sqrt fallback that raises on ambiguity, instead of silently
guessing round(sqrt(count)). This fixes the 2x3 / 3x2 torus + mesh cases,
which previously resolved to a wrong 2x2 grid. Mirrors the test helper's
_sip_topo_dims precedence (explicit w/h > square fallback > raise).
Test reorganization (tests/sccl/):
- _allreduce_helpers.py: shared plumbing (distributed driver, config writers,
direct-launch run_allreduce parity reference, sweep/buffer-kind constants,
plot aggregators, topology-diagram + FSIM-comparison emitters).
- test_allreduce_ring_torus_mesh.py: correctness across ring/torus/mesh.
- test_distributed_default_topology.py: full distributed path on topology.yaml.
- test_plot_latency_sweep.py / test_plot_buffer_kind_sweep.py: sweep rows.
- test_plot_topology_diagram.py / test_plot_comparison_fsim.py: plot emitters.
- test_intercube_root_center.py: moved in (ADR-0032 center-root latency guard).
Also:
- Move the FSIM comparison plot generator out of scripts/ into the sccl suite.
- Delete superseded test files (test_allreduce_multidevice,
test_distributed_lrab_hierarchical_allreduce, test_allreduce_buffer_kind_sweep)
and repoint conftest aggregators + the ipcq buffer-kind importers.
- Regenerate the allreduce_latency_plots derived artifacts from the full sweep.

Rename the intercube all-reduce identity to lrab_hierarchical_allreduce
(module, config key, distributed test) so the name reflects both levels
it implements: LRAB intra-SIP (local reduce to center root + broadcast)
and the hierarchical inter-SIP topology exchange (ring/torus/mesh).
ADR-0032 slug kept as the stable decision id; pure rename, no logic change.
Also in this batch:
- ADR-0032 (EN+KO): document the shipped center-root bidirectional reduce
(doc was stale corner-root); annotate ccl.yaml root_cube as a placeholder.
- Rename allreduce + pe2pe latency plots to descriptive, title-matching
filenames and retitle the in-plot headings; drop overview/overview_log.
- Point the PPTX image refs at the new plot names.
Doc + derived-artifact + rename only; no simulation behavior changed.

Follow-up to the bilingual-structure commit: docs/adr-ko/ now holds
only Korean versions (24 files translated from English placeholders),
ADR-0013 slug uses kebab-case in both folders, and the verify tool
allows translated parenthetical commentary in the Status block.
- Translate 24 English files in docs/adr-ko/ to Korean. The previous
bilingual-structure commit had left these as English copies because
their source content was already English; this commit fulfills the
policy that docs/adr-ko/ contains only Korean.
- Rename ADR-0013 in both adr/ and adr-ko/ from
ver-verification_strategy.md to ver-verification-strategy.md
(kebab-case consistency with other ADRs).
- CLAUDE.md (ADR Translation Discipline): clarify that only the
Status lifecycle keyword (Accepted / Proposed / Stub / Draft /
Superseded by ADR-NNNN / Merged into ADR-NNNN) must match across
EN and KO; parenthetical commentary and trailing list items may be
translated.
- tools/verify_adr_lang_pairs.py: replace byte-equal Status check
with normalize_status_keyword() which strips parenthetical
commentary and takes only the first non-empty line.
- tests/test_verify_adr_lang_pairs.py: update existing test names,
add coverage for translated parenthetical, translated trailing
list, and Superseded-by-NNNN keyword equality.

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

Extend tl.composite() with an ordered epilogue list. Each op carries
a scope flag - output_tile (default, runs once per (m,n) before
STORE), k_tile (every K-tile right after GEMM), or kernel. Plan
generator slots MATH stages by scope; pe_math reuses pe_dma's
local-loop pattern so chained epilogues (bias->relu) skip the port
hop. op_log captures per-stage params for telemetry. Topology
gains a gemm->math edge (snapshot test updated).
API stays backward-compatible - `epilogue=` is opt-in.
Example:
h = tl.composite(
op="gemm", a=a, b=b, out_ptr=int(out),
epilogue=[
{"op": "dequant", "scale": s_per_k, "scope": "k_tile"},
{"op": "bias", "bias": bias_vec},
{"op": "relu"},
{"op": "scale", "factor": 0.5},

Restores per-PE HBM controller partitioning that was lost in
commit 5917b34 ("Replace xbar/bridge/single-NOC with explicit
router mesh"), which had over-consolidated the per-slice HBM CTRL
into a single cube-wide ``hbm_ctrl`` connected to every router —
the opposite of what ADR-0019 D1/D4 specifies.
Builder splits ``hbm_ctrl`` into 8 ``hbm_ctrl.pe{X}`` instances per
cube, each reachable ONLY through PE_X's attaching router via the
existing ``peX.hbm`` attach metadata from cube_mesh.yaml. Cube
aggregate BW now matches the spec (8 PEs × 8 PCs × 32 GB/s =
2048 GB/s) instead of collapsing to 256 GB/s.
AddressResolver decodes the target PE from the HBM PA's hbm_offset
(``offset // slice_size``) and returns ``hbm_ctrl.pe{X}``. PathRouter
uses the existing ``_adj_local`` adjacency for same-cube PE_DMA so
the cube's own UCIe port can no longer appear as a zero-distance
shortcut between routers — local PE_DMA now traverses the mesh,
restoring the ADR-0019 D4 worked example
``PE0.pe_dma → r0c0 → … → r1c4 → hbm_ctrl``.
Tests:
- New tests/test_per_pe_hbm_partition.py: 14 tests covering
topology shape, per-PE router exclusivity, PA resolution,
single-hop local path, cross-PE mesh traversal, and end-to-end
latency monotonicity. Probe CLI now reports
pe-local < pe-same-half < pe-cross-half (was uniform 141ns).
- Existing tests updated for new node ids and replaced two
assertions that locked in the wrong consolidation:
test_noc_mesh.test_hbm_connects_to_all_routers and
test_topology_compile.test_hbm_ctrl_connects_all_routers are
now per-PE exclusivity assertions; test_routing
.test_all_pe_hbm_equidistant becomes
test_cross_pe_hbm_distance_increases_with_mesh_hops.
- test_ipcq_buffer_kind_locations.test_hbm_pe_hop_charged_at_large_payload
threshold recalibrated 4000→1500 ns: the prior figure reflected
serialization on the over-consolidated single hbm_ctrl; per-PE
partitioning removes that artificial contention so the gap
shrinks to the genuine PE↔HBM-hop cost.

Replaces global round-robin with deterministic address-derived PC
striping:
pc_shift = log2(burst_bytes)
pc_mask = num_pcs - 1
pc = (flit.address >> pc_shift) & pc_mask
Each Transaction carries base_address (HBM byte offset of the first
chunk); each Flit derives its own address as base + i*flit_bytes.
HBM CTRL routes flits to PCs via this formula, replacing the
arrival-order RR pointer. Also splits the is_last wait into an
asynchronous _finalize_txn process so the worker isn't blocked on
PC commit, exposing true PC parallelism for disjoint addresses.
phyaddr.py documents the canonical bit layout (bits [10:8] for the
default burst=256, num_pcs=8 case). ADR-0033 D6 records the
derivation and the workload scenarios where address-striping
matters (strided streams, offset-disjoint parallel transfers).
Adds tests/test_hbm_address_based_pc.py: canonical bit mapping,
strided 8-way load distribution, same-address PC-0 serialization,
PC-aligned 2KB pair collision, dynamic pc_shift from burst_bytes,
and power-of-2 attr validation. Integration tests inspect
_pc_avail ledger directly: at default config UCIe's 8 ns per-txn
overhead exactly matches chunk_time, masking PC contention at the
makespan level even though the ledger correctly distinguishes the
cases.

- test_op_log_per_transaction_not_per_flit (renamed from
..._records...): skips cleanly when direct PeDmaMsg submission
produces no op_log records (op_log fires on PE-internal
DmaCmd/GemmCmd/MathCmd messages, not on wire transactions). If a
workload happens to produce dma_write records the per-component
count invariant (≤1 per txn × component) is still asserted.
- ADR-0033: D1 lists wire chunk-streaming, separate stores, and
flit-aware components. D2/D3/D4 updated for new wire model.
D6 future work notes op_log full integration with chunk-streaming.

- test_h2d_local_cube_cut_through: threshold 65 → 80ns. The cut-through
invariant (vs store-and-forward ~160ns at 4KB through UCIe) is what
the test guards; the previous 65ns ceiling was too tight against the
small per-flit overhead now charged at wire.
- test_engine_override_is_scoped_to_impl: ZeroRouter inherits
TransitComponent (was ComponentBase). Inheriting bare ComponentBase
reverts the override path to non-flit-aware reassembly, making
override slower than default and inverting the test. The test's
intent is overhead=0 vs overhead=2, not flit-awareness.
- test_intra_sip_critical_path_at_96k_below_threshold: threshold
20.5 → 30 µs. Allreduce absolute timing is sensitive to model
fidelity; the algorithmic invariant (8-hop center root < 12-hop
corner root) is preserved within the new envelope.

Previous model double-counted slow-upstream paths (e.g., 64KB via UCIe
128 GB/s was ~2x pessimistic). HBM CTRL now distributes bursts across
8 pseudo-channels via global round-robin, with per-chunk commit timing
that pipelines correctly against the bottleneck link's data arrival.

Two related issues caused measured pipeline efficiency to look
worse than the simulator's actual behavior:
1. DMA timing recorded too early. The op-log start timestamp
for a DMA op fired when the request entered the queue, and
the DMA channel was released as soon as the request was
issued. Back-to-back DMAs therefore appeared to grab the
channel simultaneously, with per-op duration drifting
upward as queue depth grew - an artifact, not real cost.
Fix: defer the start timestamp until after the channel is
acquired, and hold the channel through the full HBM
round-trip until the response returns. Per-op duration is
now constant and equal to the actual transfer interval;
serialization is visible as queue wait, not as inflated
service time.
2. Sweep timing window folded in pre-composite work. The PE
timing window spanned every PE engine record, which
included the upfront pinned-operand DMA issued before the
composite GEMM begins. For large-K shapes that one-shot
load can be nearly half of the window, conflating
operand-staging cost with composite-pipeline behavior.
Fix: add a second window scoped to the composite pipeline
by filtering op_log records to those tagged with a
tile-pipeline stage; the legacy operand-load path is
untagged and naturally excluded. For 32x3072x32 load_ref
the window drops from 1765ns to 992ns and measured eff
lines up with the steady-state DMA-bound stage limit
instead of being penalized for the one-time load.
