    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to 16-bit floating-point matrix dot product instructions are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch a single instruction having fields to specify an opcode and locations of a M by N destination matrix having single-precision elements, an M by K first source matrix, and a K by N second source matrix, the source matrices having elements that each comprise a pair of half-precision floating-point values, the opcode to indicate execution circuitry is to cause, for each element of the first source matrix and corresponding element of the second source matrix, a conversion of the half-precision floating-point values to single-precision values, a multiplication of converted single-precision values from first values of the pairs together to generate a first result, a multiplication of converted single-precision values from second values of the pairs together to generate a second result, and an accumulation of the first result and the second result with previous contents of a corresponding element of the destination matrix, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction, and the execution circuitry to respond to the decoded instruction as specified by the opcode.
