Copy-Space: validated scheduling toolkit (STRICT1, volume-based)

Copy-Space — validated scheduling toolkit for deterministic data movement

Copy-Space produces conflict-free schedules for directed data transfer demands under a deterministic resource model (STRICT1). It also provides an independent validator report with reproducible metrics.

What you get:

• Correctness: schedule validation under STRICT1 (coverage + bandwidth + model constraints)
• A lower bound on required ticks (lower_bound_ticks) and a normalized gap metric (gap_to_lower_bound)
• Reproducible metrics suitable for CI gating and regression tracking

Try it in 60 seconds (hero example)

Hero workload: odd ring (15 demands, non-trivial gap to lower bound):

python3 -m venv .venv . .venv/bin/activate python -m pip install -e . copyspace-pilot --csv examples/ring15.csv --bw 256 --outdir tmp/pilot_ring15 --plot

Example output (expected shape):

baseline status=PASS ticks=12288 lb=8192 gap=4096 gapr=0.500000 util=0.7143 greedy status=PASS ticks=8778 lb=8192 gap=586 gapr=0.071533 util=0.9999

What to open after the run:

• tmp/pilot_ring15/report_baseline.json
• tmp/pilot_ring15/report_greedy.json
• tmp/pilot_ring15/plot_baseline.html
• tmp/pilot_ring15/plot_greedy.html

What is inside (high-level)

Scheduler v0 (pilot-facing, recommended):

• validator + metrics (copyspace-validate)
• solver strategies (copyspace-solve: baseline, greedy, external)
• pilot runner (copyspace-pilot)

Under the hood (VM and toolchain):

• minimal bit-addressable VM (space, ticks, copy slots)
• std7_fixed image builder (mkimage_std7_fixed)
• host-side Forth0 compiler (forth0c) and Forth0-first regression tests

---

Optional: VM demo (DB / analytics focus)

Build native tools:

make bins

Run demo (produces CSV):

scripts/demo_db.sh > /dev/null 2> tmp/demo.stderr cat tmp/demo.csv

Key metric in CSV:

vmrep_avg_bits_uniq_dst_per_tick

Meaning:

• effective unique destination bits written per tick (useful write throughput)

---

Tests

Run all regression tests:

make test make tdd

• scripts/test_scheduler.sh
