Why

PR4 switches the ordinary A5 Host Build Graph (HBG) single-lane path from
AICPU dependency resolution to the resident AICore scheduler built by #2056,
#2063/#2077, and #2072. The goal is to keep dependency resolution and dispatch
on device-resident AICore workers while preserving explicit Graph replay as a
compatibility path.

What changed

  • Build and upload the resident scheduler image from the compact Host graph.
  • Use a two-phase resident-pending/context-ready handshake so AICore cannot
    bootstrap before AICPU publishes the discovered topology.
  • Run Ready bootstrap, dependency resolution, dispatch, completion, and kernel
    execution on AICore; AICPU discovers workers and supervises lifecycle.
  • Keep explicit Graph replay on LEGACY_GRAPH and its dedicated legacy
    executors. A valid MIX, multi-block SPMD, or sync-start task selects the
    explicit LEGACY_UNSUPPORTED_SHAPE mode for the whole run; supported
    single-lane DAGs cannot silently fall back.
  • Keep both device executors independent of the host-only orchestration ops
    introduced by Refactor: confine host_build_graph orchestration to the host #2094.
  • Keep Profiling/DFX configuration out of scheduler selection. Enabling chip
    swimlane, PMU, or args dump no longer switches an ordinary DAG back to the
    AICPU scheduler.
  • Keep the existing diagnostic collectors best-effort for resident execution.
    They may produce no artifact or an incomplete artifact, but they do not
    change the scheduler. Formal resident Resolver profiling is deferred to the
    follow-up DFX PR.
  • Validate predicate metadata before publishing A5 HBG scheduler state.
  • Protect resident handshake, bootstrap, progress, register-release, and exit
    waits with the existing scheduler timeout budget. Timeout remains
    SIMPLER_ERROR_SCHEDULER_TIMEOUT; current graph/protocol errors remain
    SIMPLER_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS with detailed task/core/site diagnostics.
  • Add lifecycle, DAG, root-task, fallback-boundary, and profiling-on precision
    coverage.

Correctness and scope

  • Both production calls to scheduler_fill_cluster_normal_slots consume the
    independent failed result and abort even if the pass made progress.
  • Bootstrap initializes the mandatory Ready owner state once; the resident
    loop inherits it without discarding the first Ready wave.
  • Exactly one resolve_count increment remains, and scheduler headers contain
    no __host__ helpers.
  • Supported ordinary DAG runs publish resident mode on Host. If AICPU observes
    neither resident mode nor a recognized explicit legacy mode, the run fails
    after the required AICore cleanup handshake.
  • Graph replay retains its explicit compatibility executor and existing
    diagnostics.
  • Host dep-gen and scope stats remain supported because they do not require
    legacy device scheduling.
  • Production changes are limited to src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph.
    The effective PR diff has no src/a5/platform, src/common, or src/a2a3
    changes. A5 tensormap-and-ringbuffer behavior is unchanged.
  • This PR supports resident one-block, single-subtask AIC/AIV DAG tasks.
    Direct MIX/SPMD, sync-start, and Gang scheduling remain outside PR4 and use
    the explicit whole-run legacy fallback until PR5 adds Gang support.

A5 paged-attention validation and performance

TestPagedAttentionUnrollHostBuildGraph::Case1 was measured on the same
Ascend 950PR device for merge-base 55b7e0fe (legacy scheduler) and PR4 commit
4d276da6 (resident scheduler). Later changes only adjust Profiling/DFX
behavior and do not change the profiling-off resident scheduling path. The
device exposes 28 AIC and 56 AIV cores. Case1 uses batch 256, 16 query heads,
one KV head, head dimension 128, block size 128, context length 8192, maximum
model length 32768, and BF16 inputs.

  • Golden comparison passed at rtol=atol=1e-3 for both versions.
  • The resident run logged
    selected resident AICore scheduling for 1280 tasks.
  • The device entered the resident aicpu_execute lifecycle path and completed
    successfully. Silent fallback for supported resident shapes is a hard failure.
  • Performance used 10 rounds with golden comparison and DFX disabled. The
    first round is warm-up; steady state is rounds 2-10.

Profiling limitation

The current chip-swimlane schema models AICPU scheduler phases and cannot
represent the resident AICore Resolver. Therefore a generated legacy-looking
swimlane is not evidence that the run used legacy scheduling, nor is it valid
evidence of resident Resolver timing. In this PR, Profiling requests stay on
the resident path and execution/precision must succeed, but diagnostic
artifacts are explicitly best-effort and may be absent or incomplete. The
follow-up DFX PR will add the resident Resolver schema and artifact guarantees.

Reviewer guide

  1. Review scheduler selection and fallback boundaries in the AICPU lifecycle
    and executor split: supported single-lane DAGs are resident; Graph replay
    and valid unsupported Gang shapes use distinct explicit legacy modes.
  2. Review the resident scheduler handshake, layout, Ready bootstrap, dispatch,
    and completion logic under src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph.
  3. Review profiling-on behavior: flags do not affect scheduler selection; the
    HBG DFX smoke validates execution and golden precision without requiring an
    artifact.
  4. Confirm scope from the merge-base diff: there are no platform/common/A2A3
    production changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The 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.

Changes

Resident scheduler runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduler contracts and state layout
src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/scheduler/*, src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/aicpu/aicore_scheduler_*.h

Tests scheduler error mapping and first-error latching, with the required private include path.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1f571

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.

Poem

A rabbit checks the ready queue,
Kernels hop when slots are free,
AICore marks each task complete,
AICPU waits beside the gate,
Old paths sleep in fallback hay,
New graphs bloom in orderly arrays.

These capacity guards cannot trigger.

Line 704 already rejects any task whose active_subtasks or logical_block_num is not 1. After that check, logical_block_num > UINT16_MAX / active_subtasks is always false, expected_subtasks is always 1, and the predicate sub-condition (active_subtasks != 1 || logical_block_num != 1) at Line 721 is always false.

Keep the guards if you plan to relax Line 704 for MIX/SPMD in a later change. Otherwise mark them as forward-looking or remove them, so the accepted shape is stated in one place.

Add SPIN_WAIT_HINT() to the init spin loops.

The init barrier and the setup wait use bare busy loops. Every other wait in this file uses SPIN_WAIT_HINT() (Lines 342, 350, 355). The handshake preamble is described as the dominant cost, so unhinted spinning on co-resident AICPU threads can slow the threads that still need to finish their core slice.

Bound the gated argument fill with per-count and capacity checks.

DispatchPayload::args has 50 entries, but indices 48 and 49 hold the reserved SPMD context pointers. SchedulerContext::build_payload can gate a TaskPayload by storing its address without validating these counts, and this branch then writes tensor_count + scalar_count entries without a check. Invalid counts can overwrite the context arguments or storage after args. Reject negative counts, enforce the individual tensor and scalar limits, and use an overflow-safe total-count check before filling the array.

Hardcoded SchedulerRunControl cache-line offsets are not tied to the struct layout. Both files invalidate run_control + 128 and run_control + 256 and then read bootstrap_complete and scheduler_error.

Follow-up review triage:

  • Fixed the resident entry timing, worker-index cache publication, and null run-control checks.
  • Replaced the literal cluster width, added topology layout assertions, added legacy wait spin hints, and documented the forward-looking PR5 capacity guards.
  • The run-control cache-line offsets are already locked by offsetof assertions in scheduler_types.h.
  • I did not move read_runtime_status into the common header because the feature-stack hard scope explicitly forbids new common HBG changes in PR4.
  • The legacy gated-argument fill and init-retry behavior are byte-for-byte extractions from the merge base, not cutover regressions. The init-retry thread remains open for a separately tested lifecycle fix.

Final Profiling contract: enabling chip swimlane, PMU, or args dump does not select legacy scheduling for an ordinary A5 HBG DAG. Existing collectors run best-effort on the resident path; artifacts may be absent or incomplete until the follow-up resident-Resolver DFX PR. The positive HBG DFX smoke validates execution and golden precision without requiring an artifact.

Rebased onto #2094 and removed the stale device-side runtime_bind_ops call from the explicit legacy executor. The complete CI matrix is green, including st-onboard-a5 and profiling-flags-smoke.

- Move ordinary DAG dependency resolution and dispatch to resident AICore workers
- Fall back whole valid MIX, SPMD, and sync-start runs to the legacy scheduler
- Preserve scheduler timeout reporting across resident waits and refresh context after READY publication
- Keep Graph replay on its explicit legacy compatibility executor
- Keep profiling requests on the resident path with best-effort diagnostics
- Add automatic lifecycle, DAG, root, and legacy-fallback coverage
