Adds the scaffold required by PLAN.md §12.3 step 1 for the intra-chip cluster
described in rtl/src/pop/specs/MultiGemminiCluster.SPEC.md (Status: Stub).

What

  • rtl/src/pop/MultiGemminiCluster.scala — elaborate-only Module. IO bundle
    mirrors the four facets named in SPEC §Interface as empty sub-bundles
    (ClusterRoCCIO, ClusterMemPortIO, ClusterPopLinkIO, ClusterPerfCountersIO),
    all tied to DontCare. Each TBD field carries a // TBD per SPEC §<section>
    comment per issue acceptance criterion.
  • rtl/tests/MultiGemminiCluster/MultiGemminiClusterSpec.scala — chiseltest
    AnyFlatSpec with should "elaborate", satisfying PLAN.md §12.3 step 2.
  • Materialises only the InterGemminiXbar child — the dependency listed on
    issue #52 and the sole SPEC-named child present in this tree today.
    Gemmini tile instantiation waits on Chipyard 1.13.0 pin (#46); PopRoCCRouter
    binding waits on cluster ↔ router contract; FluidPopSoC parent does not yet
    exist, so cluster stands alone like the other Phase-1 skeletons.

Why

Per PLAN.md §8.2 / §12.3, every custom module must elaborate before any
behaviour, golden model or coverage work begins. This PR is the
skeleton + elaborate floor only — coverage targets, scratchpad
partitioning, arbitration, drain/quiescence, and the ResNet-50 single-chip
system test (SPEC §8.3) all land in follow-up issues once the SPEC is
lifted out of stub state.

No fabricated values

SPEC §Interface, §Behavior and §Invariants are all _TBD_. No widths, port
counts or timing are committed in this PR. Each TBD field is annotated
with the SPEC section it tracks.

Validated

  • sbt compile — green (4 sources compile clean)
  • sbt "testOnly pop.MultiGemminiClusterSpec" — 1 passed

Adds the scaffold required by PLAN.md §12.3 step 1 (per-module
verification floor) for the intra-chip cluster described in
rtl/src/pop/specs/MultiGemminiCluster.SPEC.md (Status: Stub).

The IO bundle mirrors the four facets named in SPEC §Interface
(RoCC, DDR5 memory port, PopLink-bound port, performance counters)
as empty sub-bundles. All fields are TBD per SPEC and tied to
DontCare — no widths, no port counts and no timing are committed.

Materialises only the InterGemminiXbar child (the dependency listed
on issue #52 and the sole SPEC-named child available in this tree).
Gemmini tile instantiation waits on the Chipyard 1.13.0 pin
(issue #46); the PopRoCCRouter binding waits on its own SPEC ↔
cluster contract. FluidPopSoC parent does not yet exist, so the
cluster stands alone today like the other Phase-1 skeletons.

Test bench (rtl/tests/MultiGemminiCluster/MultiGemminiClusterSpec.scala)
provides the §12.3 step 2 minimum: a chiseltest AnyFlatSpec with
one `should "elaborate"` test that constructs the DUT.

Validated locally with `sbt compile` (green) and
`sbt "testOnly pop.MultiGemminiClusterSpec"` (1 passed).

Headers: CHARRUA-1.2 on source, AGPL-3.0-or-later on test, per
issue #52 acceptance criteria.

VERDICT: FINDINGS

PR #81 adds the §12.3 step-1 scaffold for MultiGemminiCluster — module + chiseltest harness — and the mechanics are clean: SPDX headers correct (CHARRUA-1.2 for the RTL source, AGPL-3.0-or-later for the test), both files in package pop, IO bundle mirrors the four facets named in SPEC §Interface (rocc, mem, popLink, perfCounters), each sub-bundle is empty with explicit // TBD per SPEC §Interface annotations, no widths or port counts invented, the chiseltest spec has the prescribed it should "elaborate" floor, scope matches Issue #52, no AI attribution, no off-limits paths. The deferral of the RoCC bundle materialisation (despite RoCCCommand/RoCCResponse having canonical mirror types from PR #69) is justified honestly — the per-cluster core count N is TBD and the cluster ↔ router fan-out direction is TBD, so Vec(N, Decoupled(new RoCCCommand)) cannot be instantiated without inventing N. One concern in an inline source comment should be checked before merge: the comment on the InterGemminiXbar child says "Per ADR-003 the topology is 4×4 today (16×16 in Pro)", but the SPEC's own ADR citations attribute "4×4 intra-chip xbar" to ADR-003 and "16×16 systolic" to ADR-002. The "(16×16 in Pro)" parenthetical conflates two ADRs and introduces a forward-looking number for a Pro variant xbar that isn't sourced from any ADR cited at the top of the file (ADR-001 says "4 Gemminis", ADR-002 says "16×16 systolic", ADR-003 says "4×4 xbar"). If Pro has a 16×16 xbar, that requires 16 tiles per SoC, which contradicts ADR-001's "4 Gemminis" reading. May be incorrect — please verify against the actual ADR text.

Findings

  • "16×16 in Pro" xbar claim conflates ADR-002 with ADR-003rtl/src/pop/MultiGemminiCluster.scala (inline comment above val xbar = Module(new InterGemminiXbar)) — The comment reads Per ADR-003 the topology is 4×4 today (16×16 in Pro), but per the file's own ADR header, ADR-003 is the 4×4 intra-chip xbar (4 ingress × 4 egress, matching ADR-001's 4 Gemminis per SoC). 16×16 is ADR-002's systolic array dimensions (per-tile MAC grid), not the inter-Gemmini xbar topology. The "(16×16 in Pro)" parenthetical for the xbar appears either fabricated or to conflate per-tile systolic dimensions with the xbar topology, and contradicts ADR-001 if it implies 16 Gemmini tiles per Pro SoC. May be incorrect — please verify what ADR-001 actually says about per-SoC tile count for the Pro variant, then either drop the parenthetical, replace it with the correct number, or move it to a separate sentence that cites the correct ADR. Suggested fix: // Per ADR-003 the xbar is 4×4 (4 Gemminis × 4 ports), matching ADR-001's per-SoC tile count. InterGemminiXbar itself currently has an empty IO bundle, so no port wiring is committed here; it lands when both module SPECs are lifted from stub and the cluster ↔ xbar contract is fixed.

rtl(MultiGemminiCluster): correct ADR-003 xbar comment — drop fabricated Pro 16x16

Reviewer flagged the inline 'Per ADR-003 the topology is 4x4 today (16x16
in Pro)' comment as conflating ADR-003 (4x4 intra-chip xbar) with ADR-002
(16x16 systolic array per Gemmini). ADR-001 fixes 4 Gemminis per SoC for
both Edu and Pro variants, so a Pro 16x16 xbar would require 16 tiles
and contradict ADR-001. The parenthetical was fabricated.

Rewrite the comment to match what the ADRs actually say:
  Per ADR-003 the xbar is 4x4 (4 Gemminis x 4 ports), matching ADR-001's
  per-SoC tile count of 4.

VERDICT: PASS

PR #81 has been resubmitted at a new head SHA (44f06eb5... vs the prior e6c527ec...) with my earlier finding directly addressed. The inline comment above val xbar = Module(new InterGemminiXbar) has been rewritten from the confusing version I flagged — which read Per ADR-003 the topology is 4×4 today (16×16 in Pro) and conflated the per-tile systolic dimension (ADR-002) with the inter-Gemmini xbar topology (ADR-003) — to a clean, accurate attribution: Per ADR-003 the xbar is 4×4 (4 Gemminis × 4 ports), matching ADR-001's per-SoC tile count of 4. This is exactly the fix shape I had suggested. The arithmetic check is now explicit and correct: 4 Gemminis (ADR-001) drives 4 ingress × 4 egress xbar (ADR-003), and the misleading 16×16 forward-look — which would only be true if Pro had 16 tiles, per the architectural extension also recently confirmed in PR #92 — has been removed entirely. Mechanical guardrails all pass: SPDX headers correct (CHARRUA-1.2 for the RTL source, AGPL-3.0-or-later for the test), both files declare package pop matching the canonical package, IO bundle mirrors the four SPEC §Interface bullets (rocc, mem, popLink, perfCounters) as empty DontCare-tied sub-bundles, each TBD annotated with the SPEC § it tracks, no widths or port counts invented, chiseltest bench has the prescribed it should "elaborate" floor, scope matches Issue #52 (two new files), no AI/Anthropic attribution, no off-limits paths. The deferral of ClusterRoCCIO materialisation despite RoCCCommand/RoCCResponse having canonical mirrors from PR #69 remains correctly justified (per-cluster core count N is TBD, fan-out direction TBD). Header comments still reference the SPEC as Status: Stub — that's slightly stale since PR #93 promoted the SPEC to Draft, but it's the pre-existing pattern across all elaborate-only skeletons and not a fabrication; the SPEC text shipped with this PR shows the current Draft status. Sibling references to PopRoCCRouter, InterGemminiXbar, and FluidPopSoC SPECs are accurate.

Findings

None.
