Summary

host_build_graph is whole-graph-resident: the host builds the entire graph before the device starts, and nothing is reclaimed during a run. All three premises of a ring were therefore already false — alloc() caps ids at the table's size so they never wrap, there is no reclaim channel back to the allocator, and a full table is a one-shot "graph too large" verdict that no wait can make satisfiable. #1980 retired the PTO2 prefix on these names but left the ring semantics untouched; this removes the semantics.

A task id is its own table index. task_window_mask, get_slot_by_task_id, TaskAllocResult::slot and the power-of-two requirement are gone. Producer dedup keys on the TaskId itself, so append_fanin_or_fail loses the ring and slot parameters that were derivable from it.

The task count stays configurable. runtime_env.ring_task_window still sizes the table per task — that is orthogonal to the ring, and a graph larger than the default still only needs the knob, not a rebuild. Worker.run's shared RuntimeEnv validation still requires a power of two, which this layer no longer needs but has no reason to reject.

ChipRingFlowControl::current_task_index is deleted outright. It existed so a device-side orchestrator could publish its ring head incrementally to a concurrently running scheduler; with host orchestration the count is a one-shot scalar. The host reads it from its own allocator, and the device keeps using host_total_tasks, which on_orchestration_done latches into the scheduler beside the task-table pointer for update_completed_watermark. This also removes a boot-time read of that counter whose value was discarded, and the cross-module contract that had the allocator's local id depend on the counter's per-boot reset. The shared-memory header shrinks from 256 to 192 bytes.

Renaming is confined to names that carry ring or window: SharedMemoryRingHeaderSharedMemoryTaskHeader, RingSchedStateTaskHeaderView, ring_buffer.htask_allocator.h, CHIP_TASK_WINDOW_SIZECHIP_DEFAULT_GRAPH_TASKS, and the sm_layout types lose the prefix their neighbours never had. The ring_task_window knob keeps its name — it is the cross-runtime RuntimeEnv ABI.

Testing

  • cpput: 119/119 pass
  • All four runtime variants build (a2a3sim / a5sim / a2a3 / a5; host + aicpu + aicore)
  • Simulation: full examples tests/st sweep on a2a3sim and a5sim, both exit 0, 0 failures
  • Hardware (a2a3, via task-submit): full onboard CI (-m 'not sdma' --exclude-level 4) — 57 passed / 0 failed, covering both runtimes; plus a targeted hbg sweep over tests/st/a2a3/host_build_graph, examples/a2a3/host_build_graph, host_build_graph_validation, host_build_graph_wide_dispatch and task_timing_slots. Device logs carry no fatal, deadlock or timeout signature.
  • Capacity knob verified end to end: a case run with runtime_env.ring_task_window: 4 reports Tasks: used=4/4 and FATAL: Graph Too Large!, confirming the value reaches the allocator.
  • pre-commit clean on every changed file

Two bind-time allocation costs surfaced during this work but are not in scope, since they trace to "reserve the worst case" rather than to the ring: the per-bind reallocation of the host mirror, and two O(capacity) clear loops (fanin_seen_epoch, task_entry_heads). Both are recorded locally for separate evaluation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Host-build-graph now uses a fixed CHIP_MAX_GRAPH_TASKS task table instead of a configurable ring window. Shared-memory access, allocation, orchestration, scheduling, compaction, diagnostics, tests, and documentation now use direct task IDs without slot masking.

Changes

Host-build-graph task-table migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task-table contracts and storage
src/*/host_build_graph/runtime/{shared_memory.h,task_allocator.h,tensormap.h,runtime_types.h}
Shared-memory headers, allocation results, tensor-map chains, and capacity APIs now use direct task IDs and fixed maximum task counts.
Orchestration and scheduler integration
src/*/host_build_graph/{host,runtime}
Host orchestration, task submission, dependency handling, readiness waits, and scheduler completion processing now use the task table and allocator cursor.
Validation, tests, and capacity guidance
tests/*, docs/*, .claude/rules/*, src/common/*, examples/*
Tests and documentation now describe fixed task capacity, ignored HBG ring overrides, direct task-table access, and the Graph Too Large! diagnostic.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3f603

Several task-table lookup paths still accept invalid task IDs: one can access outside the table, while others can treat an unrelated task as a dependency. These bounded but concrete correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging; the remaining terminology comments are non-blocking.

A rabbit saw rings turn flat and bright

Task IDs marched in steady flight
The graph table held its measured share
No masking shadows lingered there
“Graph Too Large!” now speaks plain
And tests hop cleanly through the change again

poursoul force-pushed the refactor/hbg-drop-ring-v2 branch from 3f60385 to a757272 Compare August 25, 2026 07:39
host_build_graph is whole-graph-resident: the host builds the entire graph
before the device starts, and no task slot or heap byte is reclaimed during
a run. All three premises of a ring were therefore already false — alloc()
caps ids at the table's size so they never wrap, there is no reclaim channel
back to the allocator, and a full table is a one-shot "graph too large"
verdict that no wait can make satisfiable. hw-native-sys#1980 retired the PTO2 prefix on
these names but left the ring semantics untouched.

A task id is now its own table index. task_window_mask,
get_slot_by_task_id, TaskAllocResult::slot and the power-of-two requirement
are gone; every segment is indexed by the id directly. Producer dedup keys
on the TaskId itself, so append_fanin_or_fail loses the ring and slot
parameters that were derivable from it. TaskAllocator::task_head is gone
too: with nothing retiring, the next id is both the occupancy and the run's
total, so active_count answers both questions.

The task count stays configurable through runtime_env.ring_task_window —
that is orthogonal to the ring, and a graph larger than the default still
only needs the knob, not a rebuild. Any positive count is accepted, since
nothing masks with it. The power-of-two, >= 4 requirement belongs to
tensormap_and_ringbuffer, which does mask, and is enforced in that runtime's
own resolve; neither the RuntimeEnv setter nor Worker.run constrains the
value, so host_build_graph's own bound is the only one it passes through.

ChipRingFlowControl::current_task_index is deleted outright. It existed so
a device-side orchestrator could publish its ring head incrementally to a
concurrently running scheduler; with host orchestration the count is a
one-shot scalar, so it becomes a plain int32 in SharedMemoryTaskHeader that
the host writes once after orchestration and the restack ships with the rest
of the header. It packs into existing padding, so the shared-memory header
still shrinks from 256 to 192 bytes, and update_completed_watermark reads
the bound from the table it is walking rather than taking it as an argument.
This also removes a boot-time read of that counter whose value was
discarded, and the cross-module contract that had the allocator's local id
depend on the counter's per-boot reset.

TaskHeaderView::advance_lock goes with the ring it guarded: nothing on the
device advances a reclaim cursor, so the field had no reader. The same for
the `uint8_t ring_id = 0` locals in prepare_task and in the tensor-wait
diagnostics — every TaskId::make in this runtime emits ring 0, so they only
made a constant look configurable, and the wait timeouts no longer print a
ring that is always the same.

Renaming is confined to names carrying ring or window:
SharedMemoryRingHeader -> SharedMemoryTaskHeader, RingSchedState ->
TaskHeaderView, ring_buffer.h -> task_allocator.h, CHIP_TASK_WINDOW_SIZE ->
CHIP_DEFAULT_GRAPH_TASKS, and the sm_layout types lose the prefix their
neighbours never had. The ring_task_window knob keeps its name — it is the
cross-runtime RuntimeEnv ABI.

`TaskId` declared its layout as `(ring_id << 32) | local_id` and named the
accessor `ring()`, but only `tensormap_and_ringbuffer` encodes a ring index
there. `host_build_graph` has no ring at all since hw-native-sys#2004, and uses the high bits
as an id space: `graph_execution.cpp` minted `TaskId::make(1, synthetic_local)`
for a node materialized inside a Graph, which lives in `GraphNodeStorage` and has
no entry in the task table. Every hbg guard reading `ring() != 0` therefore read
as a bounds check on a dimension the runtime does not have, while actually asking
"is this a graph-node id".

`FaninBuilder::mark_seen` answered that question inside its dedup return value,
and `append_fanin_or_fail` read its `false` as "not deduplicated yet". A
GRAPH_NODE producer id, whose low bits are a packed (outer task, node index)
pair, thus indexed the task table with that pair and produced a fanin edge to an
unrelated task, silently. hw-native-sys#2004 dropped the ring and the parameters derivable
from the id, but kept the space check folded into the dedup result.

`TaskId` is now an opaque 64-bit handle: `raw`, `invalid()`, `is_valid()`,
equality, and the 8-byte shared-memory assertion. Each runtime owns its layout
in `src/common/<runtime>/task_id_encoding.h`, one arch-shared file each:

  simpler::hbg  TaskIdSpace{RING, GRAPH_NODE}, make_ring_task,
                make_graph_node(outer_local_id, node_index), task_id_space,
                is_ring_task, task_local_id
  simpler::tmr  make_task_id(ring_id, local_id), task_ring, task_local_id

The graph-node packing (`outer_local << 10 | index`) moves out of
`graph_execution.cpp` into the hbg header, and `graph_execution.h` now asserts
`GRAPH_MAX_NODES` fits that index field.

With the space named, `mark_seen` deduplicates and nothing else, and
`append_fanin_or_fail` rejects a non-RING producer up front with
`report_fatal(SIMPLER_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS, ...)` — the same treatment
`runtime_core.cpp` already gave a non-ring tensor producer.

`tests/st/host_build_graph_validation` gains a `graph_node_dependency` case that
declares a `make_graph_node` id as an explicit dependency. It fails with the new
guard removed (`DID NOT RAISE` — the run completes, having built the bogus edge).

Comments that repeated the ring layout as if it were universal are corrected
where they cover both runtimes: `dep_gen.h`, `chip_swimlane_profiling.h`, hbg's
`runtime_types.h` and `profiling_levels.md`, `docs/dfx/dep-gen.md`,
`docs/dfx/chip-swimlane-profiling.md`, and the two host tools that already
decoded the hbg id space while calling it a ring (`swimlane_converter.py`'s
`_decode_graph_node_task_id`, `deps_viewer.py`). Each states what the high field
means per runtime and its range, rather than implying a nonzero value is unusual
— a tmr task on ring 2 is as ordinary as one on ring 0. Behavior and output keys
in the tools are unchanged. `MULTI_RING.md` keeps its layout — it is true for tmr
— and moves to the new function names.

Verified: full product build (both arches, sim and onboard, all four runtimes),
cpput 119/119, pyut 1919 passed, and the per-PR sim gate
(`--manual exclude`) green on both a2a3sim and a5sim.

`TaskId` declared its layout as `(ring_id << 32) | local_id` and named the
accessor `ring()`, but only `tensormap_and_ringbuffer` encodes a ring index
there. `host_build_graph` has no ring at all since hw-native-sys#2004, and uses the high bits

for a node materialized inside a Graph, which lives in `GraphNodeStorage` and has
no entry in the task table. Every hbg guard reading `ring() != 0` therefore read
as a bounds check on a dimension the runtime does not have, while actually asking
"is this a graph-node id".

`FaninBuilder::mark_seen` answered that question inside its dedup return value,
and `append_fanin_or_fail` read its `false` as "not deduplicated yet". A
GRAPH_NODE producer id, whose low bits are a packed (outer task, node index)
pair, thus indexed the task table with that pair and produced a fanin edge to an
unrelated task, silently. hw-native-sys#2004 dropped the ring and the parameters derivable
from the id, but kept the space check folded into the dedup result.

`TaskId` is now an opaque 64-bit handle: `raw`, `invalid()`, `is_valid()`,
equality, and the 8-byte shared-memory assertion. Each runtime owns its layout
in `src/common/<runtime>/task_id_encoding.h`, one arch-shared file each:

  simpler::hbg  TaskIdSpace{RING, GRAPH_NODE}, make_ring_task,
                make_graph_node(outer_local_id, node_index), task_id_space,
                is_ring_task, task_local_id
  simpler::tmr  make_task_id(ring_id, local_id), task_ring, task_local_id

The graph-node packing (`outer_local << 10 | index`) moves out of
`graph_execution.cpp` into the hbg header, and `graph_execution.h` now asserts
`GRAPH_MAX_NODES` fits that index field.

With the space named, `mark_seen` deduplicates and nothing else, and
`append_fanin_or_fail` rejects a non-RING producer up front with
`report_fatal(SIMPLER_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS, ...)` — the same treatment
`runtime_core.cpp` already gave a non-ring tensor producer.

That check also has to precede the table lookup, so the lookup moves into
`append_fanin_or_fail` and its `prod_state` parameter goes away. Its three
callers each resolved `slot_states[task_local_id(id)]` and passed the result in;
`SharedMemoryTaskHeader::get_slot_state_by_task_id` does not bounds-check, so a
GRAPH_NODE id — whose low bits are a packed pair, not an index — formed an
out-of-bounds slot reference at the call site before the guard could reject it.
Resolving inside the callee keeps the invariant in one place and leaves callers
no way to form that reference.

`tests/st/host_build_graph_validation` gains a `graph_node_dependency` case that
declares a `make_graph_node` id as an explicit dependency. It fails with the new
guard removed (`DID NOT RAISE` — the run completes, having built the bogus edge).

Comments that repeated the ring layout as if it were universal are corrected
where they cover both runtimes: `dep_gen.h`, `chip_swimlane_profiling.h`, hbg's
`runtime_types.h` and `profiling_levels.md`, `docs/dfx/dep-gen.md`,
`docs/dfx/chip-swimlane-profiling.md`, and the two host tools that already
decoded the hbg id space while calling it a ring (`swimlane_converter.py`'s
`_decode_graph_node_task_id`, `deps_viewer.py`). Each states what the high field
means per runtime and its range, rather than implying a nonzero value is unusual
— a tmr task on ring 2 is as ordinary as one on ring 0. Behavior and output keys
in the tools are unchanged. `MULTI_RING.md` keeps its layout — it is true for tmr
— and moves to the new function names.

Verified: full product build (both arches, sim and onboard, all four runtimes),
cpput 119/119, pyut 1919 passed, and the per-PR sim gate
(`--manual exclude`) green on both a2a3sim and a5sim.

`TaskId` declared its layout as `(ring_id << 32) | local_id` and named the
accessor `ring()`, but only `tensormap_and_ringbuffer` encodes a ring index
there. `host_build_graph` has no ring at all since #2004, and uses the high bits
as an id space: `graph_execution.cpp` minted `TaskId::make(1, synthetic_local)`
for a node materialized inside a Graph, which lives in `GraphNodeStorage` and has
no entry in the task table. Every hbg guard reading `ring() != 0` therefore read
as a bounds check on a dimension the runtime does not have, while actually asking
"is this a graph-node id".

`FaninBuilder::mark_seen` answered that question inside its dedup return value,
and `append_fanin_or_fail` read its `false` as "not deduplicated yet". A
GRAPH_NODE producer id, whose low bits are a packed (outer task, node index)
pair, thus indexed the task table with that pair and produced a fanin edge to an
unrelated task, silently. #2004 dropped the ring and the parameters derivable
from the id, but kept the space check folded into the dedup result.

`TaskId` is now an opaque 64-bit handle: `raw`, `invalid()`, `is_valid()`,
equality, and the 8-byte shared-memory assertion. Each runtime owns its layout
in `src/common/<runtime>/task_id_encoding.h`, one arch-shared file each:

  simpler::hbg  TaskIdSpace{RING, GRAPH_NODE}, make_ring_task,
                make_graph_node(outer_local_id, node_index), task_id_space,
                is_ring_task, task_local_id
  simpler::tmr  make_task_id(ring_id, local_id), task_ring, task_local_id

The graph-node packing (`outer_local << 10 | index`) moves out of
`graph_execution.cpp` into the hbg header, and `graph_execution.h` now asserts
`GRAPH_MAX_NODES` fits that index field.

With the space named, `mark_seen` deduplicates and nothing else, and
`append_fanin_or_fail` rejects a non-RING producer up front with
`report_fatal(SIMPLER_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS, ...)` — the same treatment
`runtime_core.cpp` already gave a non-ring tensor producer.

That check also has to precede the table lookup, so the lookup moves into
`append_fanin_or_fail` and its `prod_state` parameter goes away. Its three
callers each resolved `slot_states[task_local_id(id)]` and passed the result in;
`SharedMemoryTaskHeader::get_slot_state_by_task_id` does not bounds-check, so a
GRAPH_NODE id — whose low bits are a packed pair, not an index — formed an
out-of-bounds slot reference at the call site before the guard could reject it.
Resolving inside the callee keeps the invariant in one place and leaves callers
no way to form that reference.

`tests/st/host_build_graph_validation` gains a `graph_node_dependency` case that
declares a `make_graph_node` id as an explicit dependency. It fails with the new
guard removed (`DID NOT RAISE` — the run completes, having built the bogus edge).
