Abstract: A processor of an aspect includes a decode unit to decode a matrix multiplication instruction. The matrix multiplication instruction is to indicate a first memory location of a first source matrix, is to indicate a second memory location of a second source matrix, and is to indicate a third memory location where a result matrix is to be stored. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit, in response to the matrix multiplication instruction, is to multiply a portion of the first and second source matrices prior to an interruption, and store a completion progress indicator in response to the interruption. The completion progress indicator to indicate an amount of progress in multiplying the first and second source matrices, and storing corresponding result data to the third memory location, that is to have been completed prior to the interruption.

Abstract: Techniques for matrix multiplication are described. In some examples, a single instruction having a format of fields for an opcode, one or more fields to indicate a location of a source/destination operand, one or more fields to indicate a location of a first source operand, and one or more fields to indicate a location of a second source operand is used. Wherein the opcode is to indicate that execution circuitry is to: multiply values from corresponding data elements of the first and second sources, add a first subset of the multiplied values to a first value from the source/destination operand and store in a first data element position of the source/destination operand, and add a second subset of the multiplied values to a second value from the source/destination operand and store in a second data element position of the source/destination operand.
