Abstract: Embodiments detailed herein relate to matrix operations. In particular, support for matrix (tile) addition, subtraction, and multiplication is described. For example, circuitry to support instructions for element-by-element matrix (tile) addition, subtraction, and multiplication are detailed. In some embodiments, for matrix (tile) addition, decode circuitry is to decode an instruction having fields for an opcode, a first source matrix operand identifier, a second source matrix operand identifier, and a destination matrix operand identifier; and execution circuitry is to execute the decoded instruction to, for each data element position of the identified first source matrix operand: add a first data value at that data element position to a second data value at a corresponding data element position of the identified second source matrix operand, and store a result of the addition into a corresponding data element position of the identified destination matrix operand.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to accelerating multiplication of sparse matrices. In one example, a processor is to fetch and decode an instruction having fields to specify locations of first, second, and third matrices, and an opcode indicating the processor is to multiply and accumulate matching non-zero (NZ) elements of the first and second matrices with corresponding elements of the third matrix, and executing the decoded instruction as per the opcode to generate NZ bitmasks for the first and second matrices, broadcast up to two NZ elements at a time from each row of the first matrix and each column of the second matrix to a processing engine (PE) grid, each PE to multiply and accumulate matching NZ elements of the first and second matrices with corresponding elements of the third matrix. Each PE further to store an NZ element for use in a subsequent multiplications.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems for performing instructions to quickly convert and use matrices (tiles) as one-dimensional vectors. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch an instruction having fields to specify an opcode, locations of a two-dimensional (2D) matrix and a one-dimensional (1D) vector, and a group of elements comprising one of a row, part of a row, multiple rows, a column, part of a column, multiple columns, and a rectangular sub-tile of the specified 2D matrix, and wherein the opcode is to indicate a move of the specified group between the 2D matrix and the 1D vector, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction; and execution circuitry, responsive to the decoded instruction, when the opcode specifies a move from 1D, to move contents of the specified 1D vector to the specified group of elements.
