提出表格化调度抽象，揭示通信对大模型流水并行调度效果的决定性影响。

Pipeline parallelism is a key technique for distributed training of large language models because it reduces per-device parameter and activation memory. However, comparing pipeline schedules is difficult: analytical models expose structural quantities such as bubble ratios, while end-to-end hardware experiments are costly and system-specific. In this work, we introduce a tabular schedule abstraction and a unified multi-abstraction methodology that connects formula-based reasoning, idealized schedule tables, and communication-aware execution simulation. Using this framework, we compare GPipe, 1F1B, Chimera, and Hanayo in its restricted regime across multiple modeled system configurations. Our results show that schedule rankings are not abstraction-invariant: communication can negate structural advantages suggested by bubble analysis alone. Under the assumptions considered here, GPipe and 1F1B are runtime-equivalent, but 1F1B achieves a lower activation-memory peak. Chimera is advantageous mainly at low microbatch counts and in communication-favorable regimes, while Hanayo is effective in its intended restricted operating point but remains sensitive to network bottlenecks. We further study an asymmetric Chimera-style placement, which does not reduce the global peak memory requirement but reveals limited runtime gains in shallow pipelines. Overall, pipeline schedule quality is meaningful only in the context of the modeled execution environment.
