Why

The resident AICore worker in A5 host_build_graph performs scheduling, but its internal state and documentation still called that role a Resolver. Using two names for the same role obscures ownership in the dispatch, ready-queue, completion, and profiling paths.

What changed

  • Rename the A5 HBG AICore role and its state, helpers, constants, diagnostics, and unit-test terminology from Resolver to Scheduler.
  • Rename swimlane detail level 2 from AICPU_TIMING to SCHEDULER_TASK_TIMING and align the corresponding documentation with the producer role.
  • Keep numeric profiling levels, struct layout, scheduling topology, queue behavior, and task dispatch semantics unchanged.

Reviewer guide

  • Check that the renamed host/device fields preserve their existing order and types across the shared-memory boundary.
  • Check the deferred-AIV and ready-directory paths for complete, one-to-one terminology changes.

Testing

  • git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD
  • Full tests not run locally; GitHub CI will validate the rebased commit. (pre-commit is not installed in this worktree.)

Use Scheduler consistently for the resident AICore worker role.

Rename its state, helpers, constants, and tests without changing behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change renames A5 resolver terminology to scheduler terminology, updates scheduler worker contracts and APIs, and raises profiling timestamp gates to SCHEDULER_TASK_TIMING. Documentation, collectors, and tests use the updated names and record locations.

Changes

Scheduler profiling alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduler task-timing gates and records
docs/dfx/..., simpler_setup/tools/..., src/a2a3/..., src/a5/.../profiling_levels.md, src/common/platform/...
The level-2 profiling name changes to SCHEDULER_TASK_TIMING. Timestamp capture gates, collector behavior, record-stream references, and profiling documentation use the new terminology.

A5 scheduler runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
A5 scheduler runtime terminology
src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/...
Worker fields, capacity constants, ready-directory operations, dispatch and completion APIs, lifecycle wiring, logs, and comments now use scheduler terminology instead of resolver terminology.

Scheduler terminology test updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduler terminology test updates
tests/st/a5/..., tests/ut/cpp/a5/...
Tests configure scheduler contexts and validate scheduler fields, APIs, completion behavior, deferred AIV handling, capacity limits, and ready-directory operations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 245f1

Shorter AICore profiling batches can include records from a previous batch, making exported diagnostics misleading. Correct the buffer reset or flush count before relying on this output.

Poem

A rabbit checks the scheduler lane,
Renamed fields march in a train.
Timing gates rise to level two,
Records stream where schedulers do.
Tests hop onward, names aligned,
Clean little paths are easier to find.

// Fall back to the buffer's full capacity in that case; the host-side
// copy_aicore_buffer skips trailing slots whose start_time is still 0,
// so over-stating count costs only a scan pass — never spurious records.

Clear recycled AICore records before reuse. aicore_rotate() resets only new_buf->count; recycled buffers retain old records. At AICORE_TIMING, the flush stamps the full capacity, and copy_aicore_buffer() accepts every slot with a nonzero start_time. A shorter batch can therefore export stale tail records. Clear the records on reuse or publish the exact live count, and add a regression test.
