Summary

host_build_graph's early-dispatch execution machinery (staging queues, doorbell table, gated cores, sync_start rendezvous, the AICore src_payload wait) has been dormant since polling dependency resolution removed the TMR-style producer-push detector. This PR wires a detector that fits the polling model — a publish chain, the completion wake list's dual keyed on publication — instead of reinstating per-edge fanout walks.

  • Host qualification (bind time): a task is an ED candidate iff every producer carries allow_early_resolve, it has no dispatch predicate, a dispatchable shape and fanin ≥ 1; producers get a tracked bit and a candidate's fanin row is sorted by local id (= submission order) so backward scans target the latest-submitted producer exactly. Non-candidate rows keep fill order — a flag-free graph schedules exactly as before. Graph shells stay outside ED entirely (observability counter for shell-disqualified consumers).
  • Publish chain (device): the completion byte gains a monotonic PUBLISHED bit; a candidate hangs on its latest-submitted unpublished producer; a tracked producer's full publication seals its chain with a sentinel exchange (registration CASes meeting the sentinel re-check — no stranded waiters) and hands the detached waiters to a pending-drain queue; idle threads rescan from a per-candidate cursor (total row loads bounded to fanin+1) and all-published verdicts claim candidates into the existing ED staging queues. The dispatch-path publish signal is O(1) regardless of fanout; a full drain queue only drops chains back to normal dispatch (teardown WARN).
  • Release: push_ready_routed rings staged doorbells the moment readiness is decided (STAGING→DISPATCHED claim, destructive doorbell-bit split with late stagers, sync_start via the existing rendezvous); partially staged SPMD consumers fall through for their remaining blocks.
  • Cleanup: the dead TMR remnants (dispatch_fanin, dispatch_propagated, empty propagate_dispatch_fanin stub, comments naming TMR-only functions) are removed. New fields fit existing reserved space: sizeof(TaskPayload)==192 and sizeof(ChipTaskSlotState)==64 both hold.

Scope: top-level tasks only; in-graph ED follows separately (its prerequisites — Definition CSR row sort, per-execution flag array — are mapped out and the chain code is parameterized for reuse).

Testing

  • UT (both arches): qualification verdicts, sorted candidate rows, publish-chain lifecycle (register → seal → cursor rescan → verdict → claim), release claims — 129/129 ctest
  • New ST scene: the sync_start early-dispatch case now runs against host_build_graph (kernels shared with the tensormap_and_ringbuffer twin) — passes on a2a3sim and a2a3 silicon
  • Full hbg suites green on a2a3sim and a5sim; TMR ED scenes unaffected
  • hbg-bind-phases qwen A/B (3 interleaved repetitions): host_orch unmoved
  • qwen device A/B on pinned dies: ED queues provably idle on this in-graph-dominated workload (queue probes all zero) and device wall within same-binary environmental spread

host_build_graph's early-dispatch execution machinery (staging queues,
doorbell table, gated cores, sync_start rendezvous, the AICore
src_payload wait) has been dormant since the move to polling dependency
resolution removed the TMR-style producer-push detector. This wires a
detector that fits the polling model instead of reinstating fanout
walks.

Host qualification (bind time, cached per Definition shape):
- A task is an ED candidate iff every producer carries
  allow_early_resolve, it has no dispatch predicate, a dispatchable
  shape, and fanin >= 1; its producers get a tracked bit. A Graph-shell
  producer disqualifies (no publication event; counted in
  ed_shell_disqualified). Verdicts land in a slot byte carved from
  ChipTaskSlotState's reserved tail; a candidate's fanin row is sorted
  by producer local id (= submission order, ids are bump-allocated) so
  backward scans target the latest-submitted producer exactly.
  Non-candidate rows keep fill order: a flag-free graph schedules
  exactly as before.

Publish chain (the wake list's dual, keyed on publication):
- The completion byte gains a monotonic PUBLISHED bit (completion
  stores both bits; publication ORs its bit so bookkeeping racing a
  completion store cannot erase it). A candidate hangs on its
  latest-submitted unpublished producer; when a tracked producer's last
  block publishes, the dispatch path seals its chain with a sentinel
  exchange (a registration CAS meeting the sentinel treats the producer
  as published — no stranded waiters) and hands the detached chain to
  the pending-drain queue. Idle threads rescan each waiter from a
  cursor (monotonic bits bound total row loads to fanin_count + 1);
  the all-published verdict claims the candidate via the NONE->STAGING
  CAS and queues it for the existing pre-staging.
- The ready funnel (push_ready_routed) releases: a staged candidate
  flips STAGING->DISPATCHED, destructively claims the published
  doorbell bits and rings them; sync_start cohorts defer to the
  running-slot rendezvous; partially staged SPMD consumers fall through
  so remaining blocks dispatch off the ready queue. Only candidates pay
  more than one hot-line flag test; the dispatch-path publish signal is
  O(1) regardless of fanout, and a full pending-drain queue only drops
  chains (candidates fall back to normal dispatch; teardown WARN).

Payload sheds the dead TMR remnants (dispatch_fanin,
dispatch_propagated, the empty propagate stub and comments naming
TMR-only functions); the new fields fit existing reserved space, so
sizeof(TaskPayload)==192 and sizeof(ChipTaskSlotState)==64 both hold.

Testing: UT pins qualification verdicts, sorted candidate rows, the
publish-chain lifecycle and the release claims on both arches; the
sync_start early-dispatch scene now runs against host_build_graph
(kernels shared with the tensormap_and_ringbuffer twin) and passes on
a2a3sim and a2a3 silicon; full hbg suites pass on a2a3sim/a5sim; qwen
device A/B on pinned dies shows the ED queues provably idle on an
in-graph-dominated workload and host bind phases unmoved
(hbg-bind-phases, 3 interleaved repetitions).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now uses host-qualified early-dispatch candidates and a publication-based wake chain. Producer publication detaches waiters into a bounded drain queue. Rescanned candidates enter staging, and the ready funnel releases staged work.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c01da

The PR adds a new early-dispatch scheduling path, but current code can dispatch consumers before all producers publish, strand ready tasks when a drain queue is full, or leave a synchronized task neither staged nor normally queued. These failures can cause incorrect execution ordering or graph stalls, so the PR is not safe to merge until the issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit sorts the fanin row,
And tracks each block that starts to glow.
The publish chain hops through the queue,
Then staged doorbells ring anew.
“Hop!” says Bunny, “the flow is true.”

Make the non-candidate fill-order assertion discriminating.

deps is already in ascending local-id order, so the sorted row and the fill-order row are identical here. The assertion passes even if the implementation sorted non-candidate rows too. Declare the dependencies in reverse submission order, as the candidate test does, so the assertion distinguishes both behaviors.

Keep the candidate predicate complete in both runtime documents.

The shared text omits the required non-empty producer set and the graph-shell producer exclusion/counting rule. As written, “every producer flagged” is vacuously true for zero-fanin tasks.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

publish_scan_cursor is uint8_t but is initialized from fanin_count - 1, which the host does not cap at 256. When a candidate has more than 256 producers, the cast truncates the cursor, advance_publish_scan scans only the truncated tail, and it returns a false all-published verdict. enqueue_early_dispatch_candidate then stages and rings the consumer before its producers published.

  • src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/scheduler/scheduler.h#L964-L964: widen publish_scan_cursor to int16_t, or reject the candidate when fanin_count exceeds the cursor range.
  • src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/scheduler/scheduler.h#L975-L975: apply the same change to the mirrored header so both targets agree.

An alternative single-point fix is to add payload.fanin_count <= PUBLISH_SCAN_CURSOR_MAX to the ed_candidate conjunction in submit_task_common, which keeps the runtime field narrow.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Route a failed publish-drain requeue to normal dispatch.

If publish_drain_queue.push(waiter) fails, Lines 850-852 only increment a counter. The detached remainder is no longer reachable from the queue. Its candidates remain in EARLY_DISPATCH_STAGING without a rescan or a new producer-chain registration. The detached producer chain is already sealed, so it cannot wake these candidates again. This can strand dependent tasks until the scheduler timeout.

For each remaining waiter, invoke the existing normal-dispatch fallback instead of dropping the chain. Keep the warning in scheduler.cpp only after that fallback occurs.
