A2/A3 simulator compilation fails for kernels that use explicit FFTS cross-core events: PTOAS emits FFTS_MODE_VAL, getFFTSMsg, and synchronization builtins that the CPU simulation headers do not define. This breaks DeepSeek V4 dspark CSA, HCA, and SWA before numerical execution, including the unchanged TP2 paths selected by hw-native-sys/pypto-lib#1195.

Add mode-2, base-count-1 event simulation using the existing runtime-owned device/cluster registry. AIC signals publish a credit to each AIV lane; AIC waits consume one credit from each lane. Register the existing shared-state hooks in each independently loaded kernel library, preserve queued credits and run reset, and reject unsupported modes/counts explicitly. The compatibility header and its cache fingerprint apply only to A2/A3 simulator compilation.

Keep compiler flag and cache checks in Python UTs. Run the compiled cross-library regression in the existing A2/A3 simulator scene-test jobs, reusing their toolchain setup. The PR does not change CI compiler provisioning. Isolate compiler-setup test commands from the host PATH and cover both preinstalled-GCC-15 and unversioned-g++ cases.

Validation on Linux AArch64 with PyPTO a9b9e0be, PTOAS v0.60, and PTO ISA 5a4f74cb:

  • Reproduce the original undefined-symbol errors on an actual generated AIC kernel without the compatibility header.
  • Pass the minimal AIC-to-two-AIV transfer golden.
  • Pass all five scripts selected by pypto-lib fix(build): link librt for shm_open on glibc < 2.34 #1195: decode_cp_allgather, decode_csa, decode_hca, decode_indexer, and decode_swa, with their original goldens and tolerances.
  • Pass CSA TP4 with sixteen start positions of 256, including all seven output/state checks.
  • Pass cross-library event regressions for queued credits, broadcast, two-lane joins, event/device/cluster isolation, reset, and a three-slot pipeline.
  • Pass the no-hardware Python unit suite: 2,245 passed, 13 skipped, 19 deselected.
  • Pass the cross-library regression under the simulator CI runtime/level filters; verify A5 and nonmatching runtime selections exclude it.
  • Compile both AIC and AIV compatibility paths without PTO ISA headers.
  • Pass selected-file pre-commit checks.

CI run 34586292012 passed all jobs. Ubuntu Python/C++ UTs passed 2,260 and 140 tests; macOS passed 2,251 Python tests (9 skipped) and 139 C++ tests. Both A2/A3 simulator job logs explicitly confirm the cross-library FFTS regression executed and passed.

The downstream FFTS numerical validation uses CPU simulation. Native performance was not remeasured for this simulator fix. PyPTO must advance its runtime gitlink before downstream CI can consume the change.

Fixes #2188

The change adds FFTS event simulation for AIC and AIV kernels. It integrates the simulator header into compilation and cache invalidation. New tests validate cross-DSO signaling, waiting, isolation, reset behavior, pipelines, and input validation.

Changes

Simulator FFTS support

Layer / File(s) Summary
FFTS runtime simulation
simpler_setup/incore/ffts_sim.h, tests/ut/py/fixtures/sim_ffts/kernel.cpp
The runtime adds mode-2 message encoding, hook registration, lane selection, atomic event credits, signaling, waiting, validation, and current and legacy kernel helpers.
Simulator compiler integration
simpler_setup/kernel_compiler.py, tests/ut/py/test_kernel_compiler.py
The a2a3sim compiler force-includes ffts_sim.h. The cache token hashes the header, and tests verify architecture-specific compilation and invalidation.
Cross-DSO synchronization validation
tests/ut/py/fixtures/sim_ffts/driver.cpp, tests/ut/py/test_sim_ffts.py
The integration driver loads AIC and AIV DSOs, injects hooks, and tests credits, isolation, reset behavior, sparse pipelines, invalid modes, invalid counts, and successful execution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 72a8e

FFTS simulator kernels compiled without a PTO ISA root can still fail because the compatibility header is not injected. The integration test also mishandles a missing runtime prerequisite, and busy waits may cause constrained simulator runs to stall; the compiler wiring should be corrected before merge.

Waiter does not join the thread on the failure path inside finish.

finish calls fail when the wait does not complete. fail calls std::_Exit(1), so the unjoined std::thread never triggers std::terminate. That works today. Waiter still has no destructor, so any future non-fatal error path leaves a joinable thread and aborts the process with an unclear message. Add a destructor that detaches or joins.

♻️ Proposed change
     void finish() {
         if (completion.wait_for(5s) != std::future_status::ready) fail("wait did not receive its matching credits");

Skip the test when the simulator runtime is absent.

assert context.is_file() turns a missing build artifact into a test failure. The message tells the developer to install a simulator runtime, which means the condition is an environment precondition and not a defect. Any checkout without build/lib/libcpu_sim_context.so reports a red unit-test suite. Use pytest.skip so the result reflects the missing prerequisite.

Add a case that omits pto_isa_root.

Every parameterization passes pto_isa_root="isa". The production code appends -include inside the pto_isa_root branch, so this test cannot detect the missing header when a caller omits pto_isa_root. Add an assertion for that call shape once the injection moves out of that branch. See the related comment on simpler_setup/kernel_compiler.py line 741.

Add a yield to the credit spin loop.

consume spins on the atomic with no backoff. The driver starts up to three waiter threads that block for at least 20 ms each, and pipeline runs three long-lived waiters at the same time.

@coderabbitai I reviewed the remaining suggestions:

  • Waiter joins every worker on the success path, while its only failure path calls std::_Exit(1). There is currently no nonfatal exception path on which a destructor could recover a joinable worker.
  • A missing libcpu_sim_context.so is a broken installed runtime in this unit-test job. Keeping that as a failure prevents the regression from being silently skipped when CI setup is incomplete.
  • The FFTS include stays under pto_isa_root because ffts_sim.h includes PTO headers. A2/A3 FFTS kernels are PTO ISA builds; injecting it into generic simulator compilation without a PTO root would break include resolution.
  • The polling loop intentionally avoids sleep/yield on simulator dispatch paths, in line with the runtime policy and to avoid DSO-local wait machinery.

The Ubuntu failure was instead caused by the no-hardware UT job lacking g++-15. The amended commit provisions GCC 15 in that reusable workflow and keeps the compiled FFTS regression enabled.

@Little-oil Thank you for the detailed review.

I verified the current implementation.

  • Waiter joins on its normal completion path. Its assertion failures terminate the test process. A destructor recovery path is not required.
  • The FFTS integration test correctly fails if libcpu_sim_context.so is missing.
  • ffts_sim.h includes PTO headers. The forced include correctly remains conditional on both pto_isa_root and a2a3sim.
  • The FFTS wait loop uses atomic polling. It does not use sleep or yield.
  • The GitHub-hosted no-hardware unit-test workflow now invokes setup-gcc-15. That action installs and verifies gcc-15 and g++-15. The FFTS regression remains enabled.

I withdraw the remaining suggestions.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Provide the FFTS synchronization operations emitted by PTOAS for A2/A3
simulator kernels. Keep event credits in the runtime-owned device and
cluster registry shared by separately loaded AIC and AIV libraries.
Broadcast cube notifications to both vector lanes and require both lanes
before a cube wait completes. Preserve queued notifications and reset
state between runs without relying on library-local wait pools.

Inject the self-contained compatibility header into every A2/A3 simulator
compilation, include its contents in the artifact cache key, and export the
existing runtime hook registration entry point. Yield while waiting for a
credit so publishers can run on constrained hosts. Native compilation is
unchanged.

Add compiler and cross-library regressions covering queued events,
broadcast, two-lane joins, event/device/cluster isolation, reset, and a
three-slot transfer pipeline. Provision GCC 15 in both no-hardware unit
test environments so the compiled simulator regression runs there, and
clean up test waiter threads on every exit path. Reject unsupported FFTS
modes and counts.

@coderabbitai Implemented the review suggestions in the latest commit:

  • The A2/A3 simulator now force-includes ffts_sim.h with or without pto_isa_root; the header conditionally integrates PTO CPU hooks and remains compilable without PTO headers.
  • Compiler tests cover both call shapes.
  • The credit wait yields on an empty counter.
  • Waiter joins any remaining worker in its destructor.
  • The integration test skips when its required simulator runtime artifact is absent.

The focused suite passes (63 tests), both no-PTO AIC/AIV compilation probes pass, and selected pre-commit checks pass.

@Little-oil: I reviewed the latest commit.

I found no new blocking issue in the inspected changes.

The compatibility header now supports A2/A3 simulator builds with and without PTO ISA headers. The runtime hook types, zero-initialized storage, device and cluster isolation, and reset behavior are consistent.

The compiler tests cover AIC and AIV builds for both pto_isa_root call shapes. The integration test skips only when libcpu_sim_context.so is absent. The no-hardware workflow now provisions GCC 15 for GitHub-hosted runners.

The prior learnings for this PR state the opposite behavior for PTO injection and polling. Confirm if those obsolete learnings should be removed.

Learning: In `simpler_setup/kernel_compiler.py`, keep the A2/A3 simulator force-include of `simpler_setup/incore/ffts_sim.h` inside the `pto_isa_root` branch. The header includes `<pto/common/cpu_stub.hpp>`, so force-including it for non-PTO simulator compilation fails when PTO ISA include paths are unavailable. FFTS kernels are PTO ISA builds and use this branch.

Resolve the unit-test failures in PR hw-native-sys#2186 without adding compiler
provisioning to the no-hardware unit-test workflow.

- Run cross-library FFTS coverage in the existing A2/A3 simulator lane.
- Isolate compiler setup tests from host tools and cover both branches.
- Remove the redundant PTO CPU-stub availability macro.
