Abstract:
One embodiment provides an apparatus comprising an instruction cache to store a plurality of instructions, a scheduler unit coupled to the instruction cache, the scheduler unit to schedule the plurality of instructions for execution, an instruction fetch and decode unit to decode the plurality of instructions to determine a set of operations to perform in response, one or more compute blocks to perform parallel multiply-accumulate operations based on the instruction fetch and decode unit decoding a first instruction of the plurality of instructions, and matrix multiplication logic to perform matrix multiplication operations based on the instruction fetch and decode unit decoding a second instruction of the plurality of instructions.
