Update: switch A5 HBG single-lane scheduling to AICore - #2090
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds resident AICore scheduling for host build graphs. It introduces scheduler-state construction, AICore lifecycle coordination, ready-queue dispatch, scheduler error propagation, legacy fallback executors, and tests for empty, root, single-core, and multi-core graphs. ChangesResident scheduler runtime
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR moves ordinary A5 single-lane scheduling from AICPU to resident AICore, but the current implementation can publish a stale worker index, deadlock later initialization retries, crash when scheduler state is missing, or overwrite reserved dispatch context when argument counts are invalid; entry timing is also always reported as zero and metadata write authority remains insufficiently bounded. The major scheduling-state publication issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram
