#15605
Problem description
On llama, we're seeing high dispatch latencies on programs that execute on active ethernet cores. This is because we always stall writing program binaries and launch messages until the previous program completes, since we don't support having program binaries in a ring buffer on ethernet cores.
What's changed
Keep track of when the last program using active ethernet cores was dispatched, so we can wait on that program before sending out binaries. This is better than always waiting on the immediate previous program, since in most cases we don't run programs on the ethernet cores back-to-back.
