Abstract: Techniques for performing arithmetic operations on BF16 values are described. An exemplary instruction includes fields for an opcode, an identification of a location of a first packed data source operand, an identification of a location of a second packed data source operand, and an identification of location of a packed data destination operand, wherein the opcode is to indicate an arithmetic operation execution circuitry is to perform, for each data element position of the identified packed data source operands, the arithmetic operation on BF16 data elements in that data element position in BF16 format and store a result of each arithmetic operation into a corresponding data element position of the identified packed data destination operand.

Abstract: A vector friendly instruction format and execution thereof. According to one embodiment of the invention, a processor is configured to execute an instruction set. The instruction set includes a vector friendly instruction format. The vector friendly instruction format has a plurality of fields including a base operation field, a modifier field, an augmentation operation field, and a data element width field, wherein the first instruction format supports different versions of base operations and different augmentation operations through placement of different values in the base operation field, the modifier field, the alpha field, the beta field, and the data element width field, and wherein only one of the different values may be placed in each of the base operation field, the modifier field, the alpha field, the beta field, and the data element width field on each occurrence of an instruction in the first instruction format in instruction streams.
