    Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing a vector bit reversal and crossing. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a first source vector register to store a first plurality of source bit groups, wherein a size for the bit groups is to be specified in an immediate of an instruction; a second source vector to store a second plurality of source bit groups; vector bit reversal and crossing logic to determine a bit group size from the immediate and to responsively reverse positions of contiguous bit groups within the first source vector register to generate a set of reversed bit groups, wherein the vector bit reversal and crossing logic is to additionally interleave the set of reversed bit groups with the second plurality of bit groups; and a destination vector register to store the reversed bit groups interleaved with the first plurality of bit groups.

    Abstract: A method is described that includes fetching an instruction. The method further includes decoding the instruction. The instruction specifies an operation, a first operand and a second operand. The method further includes fetching the first and second operands of the instruction. The first and second operands are each composed of a plurality of larger chunks having constituent elements. The method further includes performing the operation specified by the instruction including generating a resultant composed of a plurality of larger chunks having constituent elements. The generating of the resultant includes selecting for each element in the resultant a contiguous group of bits from a same positioned chunk of the first operand as the chunk of the element in the resultant, the contiguous group of bits being identified by a same positioned element of the second operand as the element in the resultant.

    Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for chained fused multiply add. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a decoder to decode a single instruction having an opcode, a destination field representing a destination operand, a first source field representing a plurality of packed data source operands of a first type that have packed data elements of a first size, a second source field representing a plurality of packed data source operands that have packed data elements of a second size, and a field for a memory location that stores a scalar value. A register file having a plurality of packed data registers includes registers for the plurality of packed data source operands that have packed data elements of a first size, the source operands that have packed data elements of a second size, and the destination operand. Execution circuitry executes the decoded single instruction to perform iterations of packed fused multiply accumulate operations by multiplying packed data elements of the sources of the first type by sub-elements of the scalar value, and adding results of these multiplications to an initial value in a first iteration and a result from a previous iteration in subsequent iterations.
