Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to circuitry to precisely monitor memory store accesses are described. In one embodiment, a system includes a memory, a hardware processor core comprising a decoder to decode an instruction into a decoded instruction, an execution circuit to execute the decoded instruction to produce a resultant, a store buffer, and a retirement circuit to retire the instruction when a store request for the resultant from the execution circuit is queued into the store buffer for storage into the memory, and a performance monitoring circuit to mark the retired instruction for monitoring of post-retirement performance information between being queued in the store buffer and being stored in the memory, enable a store fence after the retired instruction to be inserted that causes previous store requests to complete within the memory, and on detection of completion of the store request for the instruction in the memory, store the post-retirement performance information in storage of the performance monitoring circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for performing instructions to transform matrices into a row-interleaved format. In one example, a processor includes fetch and decode circuitry to fetch and decode an instruction having fields to specify an opcode and locations of source and destination matrices, wherein the opcode indicates that the processor is to transform the specified source matrix into the specified destination matrix having the row-interleaved format; and execution circuitry to respond to the decoded instruction by transforming the specified source matrix into the specified RowInt-formatted destination matrix by interleaving J elements of each J-element sub-column of the specified source matrix in either row-major or column-major order into a K-wide submatrix of the specified destination matrix, the K-wide submatrix having K columns and enough rows to hold the J elements.

Abstract: Method and system for performing data movement operations is described herein. One embodiment of a method includes: storing data for a first memory address in a cache line of a memory of a first processing unit, the cache line associated with a coherency state indicating that the memory has sole ownership of the cache line; decoding an instruction for execution by a second processing unit, the instruction comprising a source data operand specifying the first memory address and a destination operand specifying a memory location in the second processing unit; and responsive to executing the decoded instruction, copying data from the cache line of the memory of the first processing unit as identified by the first memory address, to the memory location of the second processing unit, wherein responsive to the copy, the cache line is to remain in the memory and the coherency state is to remain unchanged.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a processor including execution circuitry to calculate, in response to a decoded instruction, a result of a complex multiplication of a first complex number and a second complex number. The calculation includes a first operation to calculate a first term of a real component of the result and a first term of the imaginary component of the result. The calculation also includes a second operation to calculate a second term of the real component of the result and a second term of the imaginary component of the result. The processor also includes a decoder, a first source register, and a second source register. The decoder is to decode an instruction to generate the decoded instruction. The first source register is to provide the first complex number and the second source register is to provide the second complex number.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to matrix compress/decompress instructions. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch a compress instruction having a format with fields to specify an opcode and locations of decompressed source and compressed destination matrices, decode circuitry to decode the fetched compress instructions, and execution circuitry, responsive to the decoded compress instruction, to: generate a compressed result according to a compress algorithm by compressing the specified decompressed source matrix by either packing non-zero-valued elements together and storing the matrix position of each non-zero-valued element in a header, or using fewer bits to represent one or more elements and using the header to identify matrix elements being represented by fewer bits; and store the compressed result to the specified compressed destination matrix.
