+# Phase 11: Multi-Tile & Multi-GPU Scaling
+
+## 1. Overview
+The Ternary Fabric is designed to scale horizontally. While a single **Tile** provides 15 parallel lanes of ternary execution, a physical **Fabric Device** typically contains multiple Tiles (e.g., 4 or 8) that can operate in lock-step or independently.
+
+## 2. The `tile_mask` Mechanism
+Execution requests (both via the high-level `fabric_exec_gemv` and the low-level `TFMBS_IOC_SUBMIT`) now support a `tile_mask`.
+
+*   **Type:** `uint8_t` (Bit-field)
+*   **Behavior:** Each bit corresponds to a physical Tile.
+*   **Example:**
+    *   `0x01`: Only Tile 0 is active (15 lanes).
+    *   `0x03`: Tiles 0 and 1 are active (30 lanes).
+    *   `0x0F`: All 4 Tiles are active (60 lanes).
+
+## 3. Workload Partitioning
+In Phase 11, the fabric controller automatically partitions GEMV workloads across the active tiles specified in the mask.
+
+### 3.1 Row-Wise Distribution
+For a matrix $W$ with $R$ rows, the controller distributes rows such that each tile $T$ handles approximately $R / N$ rows, where $N$ is the number of set bits in the `tile_mask`.
+
+### 3.2 Performance Benefits
+Scaling across tiles provides:
+- **Increased Throughput:** Linear scaling of operations per cycle.
+- **Power Efficiency:** Tiles not specified in the `tile_mask` can remain in a low-power clock-gated state.
+
+## 4. Multi-GPU / Multi-Fabric (Future)
+Phase 11 established the logic for intra-device scaling. Future updates will extend this to multi-device configurations where partial results are reduced across the PCIe or CXL interconnect.

 ## 🛠️ Current & Future Phases
 
-### Phase 10 — Hardware Path (Optional / Real Device) 🏗️
-Transition from userspace emulation to physical or simulated hardware drivers.
-*   Expose Fabric via PCIe/MMIO/CXL.
-*   Implement kernel-space page fault handling.
-
-### Phase 11 — Multi-Fabric & Multi-GPU Scaling 📅
-Scale execution across multiple Fabric tiles or physical devices.
-*   Partitioned weights across multiple Fabric instances.
-*   Inter-fabric communication for reduction steps.
+### Phase 10 — Hardware Path (Mock Device Interface) ✅
+Transitioned from pure userspace emulation to a mock kernel-space driver interface.
+* Exposed Fabric via IOCTL interface (`TFMBS_IOC_SUBMIT`).
+* Implemented bit-exact Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
+
+### Phase 11 — Multi-Tile & Multi-GPU Scaling ✅
+Scale execution across multiple Fabric tiles within a single device.
+* Support for `tile_mask` in GEMV operations.
+* Dynamic workload partitioning across active tiles (15-60 lanes).
 
 ### Phase 12 — Framework Integration (PyTorch/TF) 📅
 Bring "Fabric Illusion" to high-level deep learning frameworks.
