Core Architectural Dialects

PULSE™ Modular Subsystems

pack_mma / pack_dmaThis release

Host ISA packers A1 / B1

In this release: host word packing for DMA opcode A1 and MMA opcode B1. GRID=4 numeric goldens.

pulse-optNot in this release

MLIR optimizer

Not in this release: pulse-opt MLIR lowering is not a production compiler.

pulse-moeNot in this release

Elastic MoE engine

Not in this release: pulse-moe and FreeToken-as-hardware are not this SDK drop.

pulse-simNot in this release

Virtual platform

Not in this release: cycle-accurate pulse-sim is not this SDK drop.

pulse-runtimeNot in this release

CXL 3.1 driver

Not in this release: zero-copy CXL 3.1 driver is not this SDK drop.

pulse-py (pre-silicon host runtime)

Host ISA packers and numeric goldens for the GRID=4 instance. torch.compile backend="pulse" is not in this release.

# PULSE pre-silicon host runtime
# https://github.com/fairviewsemiconductor/pulse-sdk
# Not in this release: torch.compile(model, backend="pulse")

from SDK.compiler.triton_lowering import pack_mma, pack_dma

mma = pack_mma(k=4)          # opcode B1
dma = pack_dma(0x10, 0x20, 8)  # opcode A1
print("packed host words", hex(mma), hex(dma))

Institutional Hardware & Compiler Diligence

Pre-Silicon Emulation Suite & Synthesizable RTL Access

Public tree: host runtime, ISA packers, GRID=4 goldens. pulse-opt, pulse-moe, cycle-accurate pulse-sim, and CXL 3.1 driver are not in this release. RTL evidence lives in the private diligence tree.
