"""Phase 1 micro-tests for IPCQ slot-memory PHYSICAL placement. The current model in ``_BUFFER_KIND_BW`` (src/kernbench/common/ipcq_types.py) charges only an intrinsic-memory term for IPCQ slot read/write:: TCM: nbytes/512 + 0 SRAM: nbytes/512 + 2 HBM: nbytes/256 + 6 This treats SRAM and HBM as if they were per-PE local. The topology declares the opposite — both live on the cube NoC, behind their own router-attached link:: topology.yaml:130 sram_to_router_bw_gbs: 128.0 topology.yaml:129 hbm_to_router_bw_gbs: 256.0 So a correct model must charge a PE→bank fabric drain for SRAM and HBM on both ``tl.send`` (writer landing bytes into the cube SRAM/HBM bank via PE_DMA → router → bank) and ``tl.recv`` (reader pulling bytes back across the same link). TCM stays free of that hop because it is genuinely per-PE local. The three tests below run the existing torus_2d 6-SIP allreduce harness with ``buffer_kind`` flipped between tcm/sram/hbm and assert invariants that the post-fix model must satisfy. They EXPECT TO FAIL today because the simulator under-charges SRAM and HBM by skipping the PE↔bank hop. Phase 2 will edit: - src/kernbench/components/builtin/pe_ipcq.py (_handle_recv: add compute_drain_ns(pe→bank, nbytes) for sram/hbm) - src/kernbench/components/builtin/pe_dma.py (_handle_ipcq_inbound: add second-leg drain for sram/hbm-destined slots) Tests must NEVER be weakened to make Phase 2 pass — invariants below follow from physics (link BW × payload), so any model reflecting the topology will satisfy them by construction.
