Cycle-accurate arbitration policies (priority/iSLIP) downgraded to
"academic / specific use cases" — FIFO inbox is approximately fair
for typical similar-rate workloads (GEMM, AllReduce, data parallel).
True impact appears only for QoS modeling or per-stream tail latency
analysis under saturation.
Higher-priority items pulled forward: address-based PC selection at
HBM CTRL (directly affects multi-PE concurrent HBM contention), bank
conflict modeling, HBM scheduler, finite buffer backpressure, op_log
chunk-streaming integration.
