Mid-pass through §2. Captured progress so far:
- §2 intro previews the three new threads (graph view, DES engine,
congestion) the rewritten latency section weaves together.
- §2.3 retitled to "Latency model: a graph traversed by events" and
restructured into bold-led paragraphs:
- The hardware as a graph (nodes = components, edges = links).
- From graph to discrete-event simulation (node/edge events,
deterministic ordering, correlation-ID trace).
- Latency contributions (per-node fixed, per-edge size-aware,
per-service occupancy).
- Congestion: per-edge FIFO BW occupancy, HBM per-PC parallelism,
component serial workers — the mechanisms that surface real
bottlenecks instead of peak-BW roofline.
- Control-plane cost model (FIXED + b·R) — unchanged.
- Accuracy: extended with a second cross-check from the all-reduce
study (torus vs. analytic startup-plus-per-packet model + FSIM
external single-device reference). Existing GEMM analytic-vs-
measured 10-20% check retained.
- §2.4 Hardware-configuration table unchanged.
Still TODO: cross-check accuracy numbers against a fresh
milestone-1h-gemm/ccl re-run; the current artifacts predate the
ADR-0064 Rev2 cost-model and IPCQ Phase-2 race fix and may need a
refresh before §2.3 final lock-in.

New `/paper` slash-command skill that synthesizes ADR/SPEC content and live
KernBench benchmark results into a sectioned LaTeX technical paper compiled
to PDF with Tectonic (auto-installed). The skill negotiates a TOC, grounds
every number in committed artifacts or fresh bench runs, and keeps
report-only benches isolated.
This commit also includes the first generated report:
- docs/report/1H-codesign-paper/ — main.tex + per-section .tex, figures,
toc.md contract, and the built 8-page main.pdf. Covers the platform
(source-level kernels, latency model + accuracy, HW config from
topology.yaml), GEMM via composite command, All-Reduce via PE_IPCQ, and
fused GQA combining both, plus discussion/conclusion/2H future work.
- scripts/paper/ — isolated report harnesses (not registered benches):
paper_gqa_latency.py harvests per-panel GQA end-to-end latency + engine
occupancy (the milestone only emitted op-counts); paper_plot_gqa.py
renders the GQA figures.
GEMM/All-Reduce reuse committed milestone figures/CSVs; GQA results are
generated fresh. Honest flags retained: PE_CPU dispatch cost is 0 in this
config, and the proposed two-composite softmax_merge decode is marked
designed-not-measured.
