+# Nested For-Loop FSM Template
+
+> **可复用的嵌套循环状态机模板，支持握手协议的内层计算单元**
+
+---
+
+## 📖 项目概述
+
+本项目提供了一个通用的**嵌套for循环状态机模板**，用于在 Assassyn 硬件描述语言中实现循环控制逻辑。该模板将循环控制与计算逻辑解耦，通过握手协议（ready/valid/done）实现两者的协同工作。
+
+### 核心特性
+
+- ✅ **模块化设计**: 分离循环控制器（OuterLoopFSM）和计算单元（InnerComputeFSM）
+- ✅ **握手协议**: 使用 ready/valid/done 信号实现可靠的同步
+- ✅ **多周期计算支持**: 内层FSM可执行任意周期数的复杂计算
+- ✅ **声明式状态机**: 基于 Assassyn FSM 抽象，清晰易懂
+- ✅ **可参数化**: 支持数据位宽、循环边界的灵活配置
+- ✅ **可扩展**: 易于扩展到多层嵌套或并行计算
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 🎯 设计模式
+
+### 1. 单周期计算模式
+
+**适用**: 内层计算可在一个周期内完成
+
+```python
+# 内层FSM状态转移
+idle → compute → done → reset → idle
+ 1 1 1 1 (cycles)
+```
+
+**示例**: 简单算术运算（加法、位运算）
+
+### 2. 多周期计算模式
+
+**适用**: 内层计算需要多个周期
+
+```python
+# 内层FSM状态转移
+idle → compute → ... → compute → done → reset → idle
+ 1 1 ... 1 1 1
+```
+
+**示例**: 迭代算法（除法、平方根、乘法器）
+
+### 3. 数据依赖模式
+
+**适用**: 计算周期数依赖于数据
+
+```python
+# 内层FSM根据数据动态决定何时完成
+with Condition(result_meets_criteria):
+ state = "done"
+```
+
+**示例**: 收敛算法、搜索算法
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 调试技巧
+
+### 1. 添加日志输出
+
+在状态动作中添加 `log()` 语句：
+
+```python
+def execute_action():
+ log("OuterFSM: iter={}, ready={}, valid={}",
+ loop_counter[0], inner_ready[0], outer_valid[0])
+```
+
+### 2. 检查握手信号
+
+验证握手协议的正确性：
+
+```python
+# 非法状态检测
+with Condition((inner_ready[0] == Bits(1)(1)) &
+ (inner_done[0] == Bits(1)(1))):
+ log("ERROR: Invalid handshake!")
+```
+
+### 3. 添加超时保护
+
+防止死锁：
+
+```python
+timeout_counter = RegArray(UInt(16), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+def check_done_action():
+ timeout_counter[0] = timeout_counter[0] + UInt(16)(1)
+ with Condition(timeout_counter[0] > UInt(16)(1000)):
+ log("ERROR: Timeout waiting for inner_done!")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ 自定义扩展
+
+### 扩展内层计算逻辑
+
+```python
+class CustomComputeFSM(Module):
+ @module.combinational
+ def build(self, ready_out, done_out):
+ # 1. 定义你的计算寄存器
+ custom_reg = RegArray(UInt(64), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+ # 2. 定义你的完成条件
+ compute_done = (custom_condition)
+
+ # 3. 实现 compute_action
+ def compute_action():
+ # 你的计算逻辑
+ custom_reg[0] = custom_computation(iteration)
+
+ # 4. 生成FSM...
+```
+
+### 添加额外的握手信号
+
+```python
+# 例如：添加错误信号
+error_out = RegArray(Bits(1), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+def compute_action():
+ with Condition(error_condition):
+ error_out[0] = Bits(1)(1)
+ # 跳转到错误处理状态
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 性能考虑
+
+### 延迟（Latency）
+
+- **每次迭代延迟** = 握手开销 (4 cycles) + 内层计算周期
+ - 1 cycle: wait_ready
+ - 1 cycle: execute
+ - N cycles: compute
+ - 1 cycle: done
+ - 1 cycle: reset
+
+### 吞吐量（Throughput）
+
+- **单个内层FSM**: 1 / (4 + N) iterations/cycle
+- **优化**: 使用多个并行内层FSM可提高吞吐量
+
+### 资源使用
+
+- **外层FSM**: ~100 LUTs, ~50 FFs
+- **内层FSM**: 取决于计算逻辑复杂度
+- **握手信号**: 3 FFs

+
+---
+
+## 1. Introduction
+
+### 1.1 Motivation
+
+在硬件设计中，循环结构（for-loop）是常见的控制流模式。许多硬件加速器需要实现嵌套循环，其中：
+- **外层循环**负责迭代控制（循环计数器管理）
+- **内层循环/计算单元**执行每次迭代的具体计算（可能需要多个时钟周期）
+
+现有问题：
+1. 循环控制逻辑与计算逻辑耦合，难以复用
+2. 多周期计算需要手动管理握手信号，容易出错
+3. 状态机代码冗长，可读性差
+
+### 1.2 Design Goals
+
+本规范定义一个**可复用的嵌套循环FSM模板**，实现以下目标：
+
+1. **模块化（Modularity）**: 分离循环控制逻辑和计算逻辑
+2. **可复用性（Reusability）**: 提供模板，适用于不同的循环模式
+3. **清晰性（Clarity）**: 使用 Assassyn FSM 抽象，声明式定义状态机
+4. **高效性（Efficiency）**: 通过握手协议最小化周期开销
+5. **可扩展性（Extensibility）**: 支持用户自定义计算逻辑
+
+### 1.3 Scope
+
+本规范涵盖：
+- 双层FSM架构（外层循环控制器 + 内层计算单元）
+- 握手协议（ready/valid/done 信号）
+- 接口规范和行为定义
+- 使用示例
+
+本规范不涵盖：
+- 三层及以上嵌套循环（作为未来扩展）
+- 并行内层FSM（作为未来扩展）
+- 动态循环边界（作为未来扩展）
+

+
+## 2. Architecture Overview
+
+### 2.1 Two-Level FSM Hierarchy
+
+系统由两个协同工作的有限状态机组成：
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ OuterLoopFSM (外层循环控制器) │
+│ ┌──────┐ ┌────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌────────────┐ │
+│ │ init │──>│ wait_ready │──>│ execute │──>│ check_done │ │
+│ └──────┘ └────────────┘ └─────────┘ └────────────┘ │
+│ │ │ │ │ │
+│ │ │ │ └─────┐ │
+│ │ │ │ │ │
+└───────┼────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────┼───┘
+ │ │ │ │
+ │ inner_ready outer_valid inner_done
+ │ │ │ │
+┌───────┼────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────┼───┐
+│ │ │ │ │ │
+│ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ │
+│ ┌──────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌──────┐ ┌───────┐ │
+│ │ idle │<──│ reset │<──│ done │<──│compute│ │
+│ └──────┘ └─────────┘ └──────┘ └───────┘ │
+│ InnerComputeFSM (内层计算单元) │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**外层FSM (OuterLoopFSM)**:
+- **init**: 初始化循环计数器
+- **wait_ready**: 等待内层FSM就绪
+- **execute**: 触发内层FSM计算
+- **check_done**: 检查是否继续循环或退出
+
+**内层FSM (InnerComputeFSM)**:
+- **idle**: 就绪状态，等待新的迭代
+- **compute**: 执行计算（可能多周期）
+- **done**: 计算完成，发送完成信号
+- **reset**: 重置状态，准备下一次迭代
+
+### 2.2 Handshake Protocol
+
+使用三个握手信号协调两个FSM：
+
+| 信号名 | 方向 | 位宽 | 描述 |
+|--------|------|------|------|
+| `inner_ready` | Inner → Outer | 1 bit | 内层FSM就绪信号（可接受新迭代） |
+| `outer_valid` | Outer → Inner | 1 bit | 外层FSM有效信号（发送新迭代数据） |
+| `inner_done` | Inner → Outer | 1 bit | 内层FSM完成信号（计算完成） |
+
+### 2.3 Protocol Timing Diagram

+ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+```
+
+**协议流程**：
+1. **Cycle 0**: 内层FSM处于idle状态，拉高 `inner_ready`
+2. **Cycle 1**: 外层FSM检测到 `inner_ready`，拉高 `outer_valid`，发送迭代数据
+3. **Cycle 2**: 内层FSM接收数据，拉低 `inner_ready`，进入compute状态
+4. **Cycle 3-4**: 内层FSM执行多周期计算
+5. **Cycle 5**: 内层FSM完成计算，拉高 `inner_done`
+6. **Cycle 6**: 外层FSM检测到 `inner_done`，递增计数器
+7. **Cycle 7**: 内层FSM重置，外层FSM等待下一次 `inner_ready`
+8. 重复步骤 1-7

输入（Outer） | Inner → Outer | 1 bit | 高有效 | 内层FSM完成当前迭代的计算 |
+
+### 5.2 Protocol Sequence
+
+**正常操作序列**:
+
+1. **初始状态**
+ - Inner FSM: `idle` 状态
+ - `inner_ready = 1`, `outer_valid = 0`, `inner_done = 0`
+
+2. **握手建立**
+ - Outer FSM 检测到 `inner_ready == 1`
+ - Outer FSM 设置 `outer_valid = 1` 并发送迭代数据
+
+3. **数据传输**
+ - Inner FSM 在下一个周期采样 `outer_valid` 和迭代数据
+ - Inner FSM 设置 `inner_ready = 0`（表示忙碌）
+ - Inner FSM 进入 `compute` 状态
+
+4. **计算阶段**
+ - Inner FSM 保持在 `compute` 状态（可能多周期）
+ - `inner_ready = 0`, `outer_valid = 0`, `inner_done = 0`
+
+5. **完成通知**
+ - Inner FSM 完成计算，进入 `done` 状态
+ - Inner FSM 设置 `inner_done = 1`
+
+6. **握手释放**
+ - Outer FSM 检测到 `inner_done == 1`
+ - Outer FSM 递增循环计数器
+ - Inner FSM 进入 `reset` 状态，设置 `inner_done = 0`
+ - Inner FSM 返回 `idle` 状态，设置 `inner_ready = 1`
+
+7. **循环继续**
+ - 如果 `loop_counter < loop_end`，返回步骤 2
+ - 否则，循环结束
+
+### 5.3 Timing Requirements
+
+**建立时间（Setup Time）**:
+- `outer_valid` 必须在 Inner FSM 采样前至少保持 1 个周期
+
+**保持时间（Hold Time）**:
+- `inner_ready` 必须在 Outer FSM 检测后保持稳定
+- `inner_done` 必须保持至少 1 个周期，直到 Outer FSM 确认
+
+**响应延迟（Response Latency）**:
+- Outer FSM 检测到 `inner_ready` 后，在下一个周期拉高 `outer_valid`
+- Inner FSM 检测到 `outer_valid` 后，在同一周期拉低 `inner_ready`

+
+## 7. Implementation Considerations
+
+### 7.1 Parameterization
+
+**数据位宽参数化**:
+```python
+class ConfigurableInnerFSM(Module):
+ def __init__(self, data_width=32, counter_width=8):
+ self.data_width = data_width
+ self.counter_width = counter_width
+ super().__init__(
+ ports={
+ 'iteration': Port(UInt(data_width)),
+ 'valid': Port(Bits(1)),
+ }
+ )
+```
+
+**循环边界参数化**:
+```python
+# 外层FSM接受运行时参数
+loop_controller.build(
+ inner_fsm=compute_unit,
+ loop_start=start_reg[0], # 可以是寄存器值
+ loop_end=end_reg[0], # 运行时可配置
+ loop_step=step_reg[0]
+)
+```
+
+### 7.2 Error Handling
+
+**超时检测**:
+```python
+# 在外层FSM的check_done状态添加超时计数器
+timeout_counter = RegArray(UInt(16), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+def check_done_action():
+ with Condition(inner_done[0] == Bits(1)(0)):
+ timeout_counter[0] = timeout_counter[0] + UInt(16)(1)
+ with Condition(timeout_counter[0] > UInt(16)(1000)):
+ log("ERROR: Inner FSM timeout!")
+ finish() # 或者跳转到错误处理状态
+```
+
+**握手信号验证**:
+```python
+# 检测非法状态（ready和done同时为高）
+with Condition((inner_ready[0] == Bits(1)(1)) & (inner_done[0] == Bits(1)(1))):
+ log("ERROR: Invalid handshake state!")
+```
+
+### 7.3 Performance Optimization
+
+**流水线化**:
+- 如果内层计算周期固定，可以考虑多个内层FSM并行工作
+- 使用FIFO缓冲迭代数据，实现更高的吞吐量
+
+**提前终止**:
+```python
+# 在内层FSM中添加提前终止条件
+with Condition(result_reg[0] > threshold):
+ # 立即跳转到done状态
+ inner_state[0] = Bits(2)(2) # done state
+```
+
+**周期优化**:
+- 最小化状态转移开销（合并不必要的状态）
+- 使用组合逻辑减少寄存器级数
+
+---
+
+## 8. Future Extensions
+
+### 8.1 Multi-Level Nesting
+
+支持三层及以上的嵌套循环：
+
+```python
+# 三层嵌套：外层 -> 中层 -> 内层
+outer_loop.build(middle_loop, ...)
+middle_loop.build(inner_compute, ...)
+```
+
+**挑战**:
+- 握手信号传播延迟增加
+- 状态机复杂度指数增长
+- 调试难度提高
+
+**解决方案**:
+- 使用层次化握手协议
+- 提供调试可视化工具
+- 参数化嵌套层数
+
+### 8.2 Dynamic Loop Bounds
+
+支持运行时动态修改循环边界：
+
+```python
+# 外层FSM接受动态边界端口
+class DynamicOuterLoop(Module):
+ def __init__(self):
+ super().__init__(
+ ports={
+ 'new_end': Port(UInt(32)),
+ 'update_en': Port(Bits(1)),
+ }
+ )
+```
+
+**应用场景**:
+- 自适应算法（根据中间结果调整迭代次数）
+- 可配置硬件加速器
+
+### 8.3 Parallel Inner FSMs
+
+支持多个内层FSM并行处理不同迭代：
+
+```python
+# 外层FSM管理N个内层FSM
+for i in range(N):
+ inner_fsm[i] = InnerCompute()
+ # 轮询分配迭代任务
+```
+
+**收益**:
+- 提高吞吐量（N倍加速）
+- 更好的资源利用率
+
+**挑战**:
+- 结果顺序保证（需要重排序逻辑）
+- 资源开销增加
+- 握手协议更复杂（仲裁逻辑）
+

+
+## 算法说明
+
+### Radix Sort 基础
+
+Radix sort 是一种非比较排序算法，通过处理数字的每一位来排序。本实现使用：
+
+- **Radix-16**: 每次处理 4 位（0-15）
+- **8 次遍历**: 32 位 ÷ 4 位 = 8 次
+- **稳定排序**: 保持相同键值元素的相对顺序
+
+### 硬件实现特点
+
+1. **Ping-pong 缓冲**:
+ - 内存分为两半
+ - 每次遍历从一半读取，写入另一半
+ - 避免覆盖源数据
+
+2. **流水线阶段**:
+ - **Stage 1 (Read)**: 读取数据，构建直方图
+ - **Stage 2 (Prefix)**: 计算前缀和（桶边界）
+ - **Stage 3 (Write)**: 根据桶位置写回排序数据
+
+3. **两层 FSM**:
+ - **主 FSM**: 控制整体流程（reset → read → prefix → write）
+ - **MemImpl FSM**: 处理写回阶段（init → read → write → reset）
+
+## 运行示例
+
+```bash
+# 设置环境
+source ../../setup.sh
+
+# 运行 FSM 版本（推荐）
+cd examples/radix_sort
+python3 main_fsm.py
+
+# 查看参考实现
+python3 radix_sort.py
+```
+
+## FSM 实现详解
+
+### 主 FSM 状态（Driver 模块）
+
+```
+reset (0) → read (1) → prefix (2) → write (3) → reset
+ ↑ |
+ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+#### 状态说明
+
+1. **reset**:
+ - 初始化下一轮排序
+ - 增加位偏移（0→4→8→...→28）
+ - 切换 ping-pong 缓冲区
+ - 设置内存读取
+
+2. **read**:
+ - 从当前缓冲区读取所有元素
+ - 提取当前位偏移的 4 位基数
+ - 通过 MemUser 增加桶计数器
+ - 读完所有元素后转换
+
+3. **prefix**:
+ - 将桶计数转换为位置（前缀和）
+ - 需要 16 个周期（每个桶一个）
+ - 前缀和完成后转换
+
+4. **write**:
+ - 委托给 MemImpl FSM
+ - MemImpl 读取、排序并写入元素
+ - 返回 reset 进行下一轮
+
+### MemImpl FSM 状态（写回阶段）
+
+```
+init (0) → read (1) → write (2) → read/reset
+ ↓
+ reset (3) → init
+```
+
+#### 状态说明
+
+1. **init**: 初始化读/写地址指针
+2. **read**: 设置从内存读取下一个元素
+3. **write**:
+ - 写入数据到目标位置
+ - 更新基数计数器
+ - 如果未完成，返回 read
+ - 如果完成，转到 reset
+4. **reset**:
+ - 清除所有基数计数器
+ - 为下一轮准备
+ - 返回主 FSM 的 reset 状态
+
+### 关键数据结构
+
+- **radix_reg[16]**: 基数直方图/前缀和数组
+ - 读取阶段：存储每个桶的计数
+ - 前缀和阶段：转换为桶边界位置
+ - 写入阶段：用作递减计数器
+
+- **offset_reg**: 当前处理的位偏移（0, 4, 8, ..., 28）
+
+- **mem_pingpong_reg**: 缓冲区选择器（0 或 1）
+
+- **SM_reg**: 主状态机寄存器（2 位，4 个状态）
+
+- **SM_MemImpl**: MemImpl 状态机寄存器（2 位，4 个状态）
+
+## FSM 模块使用
+
+本实现展示了如何使用 Assassyn 的 FSM 模块：
+
+```python
+# 定义转换表
+transition_table = {
+ "state_name": {condition1: "next_state1", condition2: "next_state2"},
+ ...
+}
+
+# 创建 FSM 实例
+my_fsm = fsm.FSM(state_reg, transition_table)
+
+# 定义状态特定的动作
+action_dict = {
+ "state_name": action_function,
+ ...
+}
+
+# 生成 FSM 逻辑
+my_fsm.generate(action_dict)
+```
+
+### FSM 的优势
+
+1. **声明式**: 状态转换在表中明确定义
+2. **可读性**: 易于理解状态机的结构
+3. **可维护性**: 修改状态或转换很简单
+4. **一致性**: 与其他 Assassyn 示例保持一致
+
+## 技术要点
+
+### SRAM 连接
+
+```python
+# 正确的方式（当前 API）
+numbers_mem.build(we[0], re[0], addr_reg[0], wdata[0])
+memory_user.async_called(rdata=numbers_mem.dout[0])
+```
+
+SRAM.dout 是包含读取数据的 RegArray，通过 async_called 连接到 MemUser 的 rdata 端口。
+
+### 类型转换
+
+Assassyn 严格区分 Bits 和 UInt/Int 类型：
+
+```python
+# ~ 运算符返回 Bits 类型
+# 需要 bitcast 转换为 UInt
+mem_pingpong_reg[0] = (~mem_pingpong_reg[0]).bitcast(UInt(1))
+```
+
+### Ping-pong 缓冲机制
+
+```
+Pass 1: Read [0...N) → Write [N...2N)
+Pass 2: Read [N...2N) → Write [0...N)
+Pass 3: Read [0...N) → Write [N...2N)
+...
+```
+
+每次遍历切换源和目标，使用 `mem_pingpong_reg` 控制。
+
+## 性能特性
+
+- **吞吐量**: 每个周期处理一个元素（读取阶段）
+- **延迟**: O(k×n)，其中 k=8（遍历次数），n=元素数量
+- **内存**: 需要 2×n 空间用于 ping-pong 缓冲
+- **并行性**: 可以流水线化多个排序操作
+
+## 扩展和改进
+
+### 可能的优化
+
+1. **并行桶计数**: 使用多个计数器并行处理
+2. **更大的基数**: 使用 8 位基数减少遍历次数（但增加桶数量）
+3. **混合排序**: 对小数据集切换到插入排序
+4. **多路合并**: 一次处理多个元素
+
+### 学习资源
+
+- FSM 模块文档: `python/assassyn/ir/module/fsm.md`
+- SRAM 模块文档: `python/assassyn/ir/memory/sram.md`
+- 另一个 FSM 示例: `examples/spmv/spmv_fsm.py`
+- 设计文档: `docs/design/`
+
+## 故障排除
+
+### 常见问题
+
+1. **SRAM API 错误**: 确保只传递 4 个参数给 SRAM.build()
+2. **类型不匹配**: 使用 .bitcast() 在 Bits 和 UInt/Int 之间转换
+3. **状态编码**: FSM 使用 floor(log2(num_states)) 位，确保 state_reg 足够大
+
+### 调试技巧
+
+- 使用 log() 语句跟踪状态转换
+- 检查 radix_reg 值以验证直方图和前缀和
+- 比较每次遍历后的内存内容
+- 验证 ping-pong 切换正确

+# 流水线化写入设计文档
+
+## 问题分析
+
+### 当前瓶颈
+
+根据性能基线分析，**写入阶段占66%的总运行时间**，这是主要瓶颈。
+
+**当前写入流程** (每个元素需要2周期):
+```
+Cycle N: 读取element[i]的准备 (设置read地址)
+Cycle N+1: 写入element[i] (数据可用，计算write地址并写入)
+Cycle N+2: 读取element[i+1]的准备
+Cycle N+3: 写入element[i+1]
+...
+总计: 2048个元素 × 2周期 = 4096周期/遍历
+```
+
+**根本原因**:
+1. 单端口SRAM：不能同时读和写
+2. SRAM读取延迟：数据在下一周期才可用
+3. 地址依赖：写地址依赖于读取的数据（radix值）
+
+## 解决方案：双SRAM流水线架构
+
+### 核心思想
+
+使用**两个独立的SRAM**，一个专门用于读取，另一个专门用于写入。这样可以在同一周期内：
+- 从read_sram读取element[i+1]
+- 向write_sram写入element[i]
+
+### 流水线时序
+
+```
+Cycle N: 读取element[0] (预取)
+Cycle N+1: 读取element[1], 写入element[0] (流水线开始)
+Cycle N+2: 读取element[2], 写入element[1]
+...
+Cycle N+2048: 读取完成, 写入element[2047]
+总计: 1 + 2048 = 2049周期/遍历 (vs 原来的4096)
+```
+
+**加速比**: 4096 / 2049 ≈ **2.0×**
+
+### 架构设计
+
+```
+ Pass 1 Pass 2 Pass 3
+ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐
+Read ─> │ SRAM_A │ ──read─>│ SRAM_B │ ──read─>│ SRAM_A │
+ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘
+ │ │ │
+ write write write
+ ↓ ↓ ↓
+ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐
+Write ─> │ SRAM_B │ │ SRAM_A │ │ SRAM_B │
+ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘
+
+Ping-pong: 每次遍历后交换读写角色
+```
+
+### 关键设计点
+
+1. **双SRAM实例**
+ - `sram_a`: 初始时包含输入数据
+ - `sram_b`: 初始时为空
+
+2. **Ping-pong控制**
+ - 每次遍历后交换读写角色
+ - 使用`mem_pingpong_reg`控制选择
+
+3. **流水线状态机**
+ ```
+ MemImpl FSM (新):
+ - init: 初始化，预取第一个元素
+ - pipeline: 同时读取i+1和写入i (主循环)
+ - drain: 写入最后一个元素
+ - reset: 清零radix_reg，返回主FSM
+ ```
+
+4. **数据缓冲**
+ - 需要一个寄存器暂存读取的数据
+ - `rdata_buffer`: 存储上一周期读取的数据
+
+## 实现细节
+
+### 1. SRAM创建和连接
+
+```python
+# 创建两个SRAM实例
+sram_a = SRAM(
+ width=data_width,
+ depth=2**addr_width,
+ init_file=f"{resource_base}/numbers.data"
+)
+sram_a.name = "sram_a"
+
+sram_b = SRAM(
+ width=data_width,
+ depth=2**addr_width
+)
+sram_b.name = "sram_b"
+
+# 根据ping-pong选择读写SRAM
+with Condition(mem_pingpong_reg[0] == UInt(1)(0)):
+ read_sram = sram_a
+ write_sram = sram_b
+with Condition(mem_pingpong_reg[0] == UInt(1)(1)):
+ read_sram = sram_b
+ write_sram = sram_a
+```
+
+**注意**: Assassyn的条件赋值可能不支持这种动态选择。需要改用控制信号选择。
+
+### 2. MemImpl流水线FSM
+
+```python
+class MemImpl(Downstream):
+ def build(self, ...):
+ # 状态：0=init, 1=pipeline, 2=drain, 3=reset
+ SM_MemImpl = RegArray(UInt(2), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+ # 地址寄存器
+ read_addr_reg = RegArray(UInt(addr_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+ write_addr_reg = RegArray(UInt(addr_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+ # 数据缓冲
+ rdata_buffer = RegArray(Bits(data_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+ with Condition(SM_reg[0] == UInt(2)(3)): # Stage 3
+ # init: 预取第一个元素
+ with Condition(SM_MemImpl[0] == UInt(2)(0)):
+ # 设置read_sram读取第一个元素
+ # 初始化地址
+ SM_MemImpl[0] = UInt(2)(1)
+
+ # pipeline: 主循环
+ with Condition(SM_MemImpl[0] == UInt(2)(1)):
+ # 同时：
+ # 1. 写入缓冲的数据到write_sram
+ # 2. 从read_sram读取下一个元素到缓冲
+ # 3. 检查是否完成
+
+ with Condition(read_addr_reg[0] > mem_start):
+ # 继续流水线
+ SM_MemImpl[0] = UInt(2)(1)
+ with Condition(read_addr_reg[0] == mem_start):
+ # 进入drain
+ SM_MemImpl[0] = UInt(2)(2)
+
+ # drain: 写入最后一个元素
+ with Condition(SM_MemImpl[0] == UInt(2)(2)):
+ # 写入缓冲的最后一个元素
+ SM_MemImpl[0] = UInt(2)(3)
+
+ # reset: 清零
+ with Condition(SM_MemImpl[0] == UInt(2)(3)):
+ # 重置radix_reg
+ # 返回主FSM
+```
+
+### 3. 读写控制
+
+由于不能动态选择SRAM，需要为每个SRAM单独设置控制信号：
+
+```python
+# SRAM A控制
+sram_a_we = RegArray(Bits(1), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_a_re = RegArray(Bits(1), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_a_addr = RegArray(UInt(addr_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_a_wdata = RegArray(Bits(data_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+# SRAM B控制
+sram_b_we = RegArray(Bits(1), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_b_re = RegArray(Bits(1), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_b_addr = RegArray(UInt(addr_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+sram_b_wdata = RegArray(Bits(data_width), 1, initializer=[0])
+
+# 根据ping-pong设置控制信号
+with Condition(mem_pingpong_reg[0] == UInt(1)(0)):
+ # A读，B写
+ sram_a_re[0] = Bits(1)(1)
+ sram_a_we[0] = Bits(1)(0)
+ sram_a_addr[0] = read_addr_reg[0]
+
+ sram_b_re[0] = Bits(1)(0)
+ sram_b_we[0] = Bits(1)(1)
+ sram_b_addr[0] = write_addr_reg[0]
+ sram_b_wdata[0] = rdata_buffer[0]
+```
+
+## 挑战和注意事项
+
+### 1. Assassyn的限制
+
+**问题**: Assassyn不支持在`Condition`内动态选择对象
+
+```python
+# ❌ 不支持
+with Condition(x == 0):
+ sram = sram_a
+with Condition(x == 1):
+ sram = sram_b
+sram.build(...) # sram引用不明确
+```
+
+**解决方案**: 为每个SRAM单独生成控制逻辑
+
+### 2. 数据缓冲时序
+
+需要仔细管理数据缓冲：
+- 第N周期：读取element[i]，数据在第N+1周期可用
+- 第N+1周期：使用缓冲的element[i-1]写入，同时接收element[i]
+
+### 3. 初始预取
+
+流水线需要一个周期的预热：
+- init状态：读取第一个元素
+- pipeline状态：开始重叠读写
+
+### 4. 边界条件
+
+- 第一个元素：只读不写（init）
+- 最后一个元素：只写不读（drain）
+

+"""Radix Sort with FSM-based State Machine Implementation.
+
+This module implements a hardware radix sort using Assassyn's FSM abstraction for
+cleaner state machine design. The algorithm sorts 32-bit integers by processing
+4 bits at a time (radix-16), requiring 8 passes through the data.
+
+Architecture Overview:
+---------------------
+The implementation uses two coordinated finite state machines:
+
+1. Main FSM (Driver): Controls the overall sorting process
+ - reset: Initialize for next radix digit (4 bits)
+ - read: Read data from memory into radix histogram
+ - prefix: Compute prefix sum for bucket boundaries
+ - write: Write sorted data back to memory (delegated to MemImpl)
+
+2. MemImpl FSM: Handles the write-back phase
+ - init: Set up read/write address pointers
+ - read: Read next element from source buffer
+ - write: Write element to destination based on radix bucket
+ - reset: Clear radix counters for next pass
+
+Key Design Features:
+-------------------
+- Ping-pong buffering: Uses two memory regions to avoid overwriting source data
+- Radix-16 counting: Processes 4 bits per pass (16 possible values)
+- In-place prefix sum: Computes bucket boundaries for stable sorting
+- Declarative FSM: State transitions defined in tables for clarity
+
+Memory Organization:
+-------------------
+- Memory is divided into two halves for ping-pong buffering
+- Each pass reads from one half and writes to the other
+- After 8 passes (32 bits / 4 bits), data is fully sorted

The `FSM` class provides a declarative interface for creating finite state machines within Assassyn modules. It simplifies the implementation of state-based control logic by automatically generating the necessary combinational logic from a transition table and state-specific action functions, following Assassyn's credit-based pipeline architecture as described in the [architectural design](../../../docs/design/arch/arch.md).
+**Key Benefits:**
+
+- **Declarative**: Separate state transitions from state actions for clearer logic
+- **Maintainable**: Easy to visualize and modify state machine behavior
+- **Compact**: Reduces boilerplate code compared to manual `Condition` blocks
+- **Type-safe**: Automatic state encoding with minimal bit width

+
+**Important Notes:**
+
+- **Transition Evaluation**: Conditions are evaluated in the order they appear in the dictionary. The first matching condition determines the next state.
+- **Action Execution**: State actions execute **before** transition evaluation in the same cycle.
+- **Default Transitions**: Use `Bits(1)(1)` for unconditional transitions.

The `FSM` class constructs finite state machine logic from declarative specifications.
**Purpose:** Provides a high-level interface for implementing state-based control logic within modules, automatically handling state encoding, transition logic, and state-specific actions.
**Member Fields:**
+
- `state_reg: Array` - The state register storing the current state
- `transition_table: dict` - Dictionary mapping states to their possible transitions
- `state_bits: int` - Number of bits needed to encode all states

1. **State Register Validation:** Ensures the provided state register is an `Array` object
2. **Transition Table Storage:** Stores the transition table for later use in logic generation
3. **State Bit Calculation:** Computes the minimum number of bits needed to encode all states using `math.floor(math.log2(len(transition_table)))`
+ - Example: 4 states → 2 bits, 8 states → 3 bits
+ - **Important**: Make sure your `state_reg` has enough bits! Use `Bits(math.ceil(math.log2(num_states)))`
4. **State Mapping Creation:** Generates a mapping from state names to their corresponding bit values, starting from 0
