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: Implementations of using tiles for caching are detailed In some implementations, an instruction execution circuitry executes one or more instructions, a register state cache coupled to the instruction execution circuitry holds thread register state in a plurality of registers, and backing storage pointer storage stores a backing storage pointer, wherein the backing storage pointer is to reference a state backing storage area in external memory to store the thread register state stored in the register state cache.

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: 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.
